How to Use the Desktop Calendar? YYNote Calendar Widget with Month/Week/Day Views
At work, it’s common to find that the afternoon meeting conflicts with another, or that by the weekend, your schedule is completely booked.
The desktop calendar puts your schedule directly on the desktop, letting you see your time distribution at any moment.
Adding the Desktop Calendar Widget
Section titled “Adding the Desktop Calendar Widget”- Right-click the YYNote tray icon in the system tray, or click the settings icon on the top-right of the dashboard
- Go to “App Settings”
- Find “Desktop Calendar List” and set the quantity

Three Views (PC)
Section titled “Three Views (PC)”| View | Best For |

| Week | Planning the work week — see daily time distribution |
| Day | Detailed daily schedule — time broken down by hour |
On the PC client, you also have a schedule list alongside the calendar views.
On the App (Android/iOS/HarmonyOS), the calendar supports month and week views in Tab plus a schedule list widget (no dedicated day view).

Drag Todos Into Calendar
Section titled “Drag Todos Into Calendar”This is one of the most practical features.
On the desktop calendar widget, expand the todo list on the left, find the task you want to schedule, and drag it to a specific date and time on the calendar. Release — the system automatically sets start and end times, converting the todo into a scheduled event that appears in both your todo list and calendar.
This “todo-to-schedule” conversion is a Windows desktop widget-exclusive feature.
