Desktop Calendar Feature Guide
Desktop Calendar
Section titled “Desktop Calendar”Overview
Section titled “Overview”The Desktop Calendar is the schedule management module, supporting multiple views for organizing your events and appointments.
Core Features:
- Month, week, day, and schedule list views
- Public holiday markers and weather forecast on the monthly calendar
- Lunar calendar display
- Third-party calendar sync (WeCom, DingTalk, Feishu/Lark, etc.)
Platform Differences:
- Windows — Supports the full Desktop Calendar plugin (month/week/day views + schedule list) and the Schedule List plugin. Both are transparent floating windows embedded into the desktop.
- App (Android / iOS / HarmonyOS) — The bottom Tab provides month and week views (no day view). The home screen supports a Schedule List widget (displays upcoming events). iOS does not support transparency.
Calendar & Weather Display: The full calendar view (month/week/day) and weather forecast are Windows-only features. On the App, monthly/weekly calendar views are available in the main Tab, and the schedule list is available as a home screen widget.

Section titled “Schedule Management”A schedule is a todo with a start and end time. It appears in both the todo list and the calendar.
Ways to Create a Schedule:

- Convert from a todo — Drag a todo onto the calendar, which automatically sets the start/end time and converts it to a schedule
Convert Todo to Schedule (Quick Planning)
Section titled “Convert Todo to Schedule (Quick Planning)”- On the desktop calendar plugin, expand the todo list on the left sidebar
- Find the todo you want to schedule
- Drag the dot handle at the front of the todo onto a specific date/time on the calendar
- Release — the system automatically sets the start/end time and converts it to a schedule
💡 The left sidebar shows all incomplete todos that do not yet have a start/end time set.
Drag to Reschedule
Section titled “Drag to Reschedule”On the month or week view, drag the edge or body of an event to quickly adjust its start/end time.
