Daylined

See the week at a glance, then plan your days and get more done.

Scroll

Daylined connects to the Google Calendar™ and Google Tasks you already use, and lays events and tasks on one board. The week is easier to see, and changing it is quicker: drag an event to reschedule it, and a task with a due date sits on that day. The sample below is that board, with a made-up week that never leaves this tab.

The board

One example you can use. The sample week stays in this tab.

01

Week board: events and tasks together

This is the Daylined board. Events and tasks sit on one week, and the sample never leaves this tab.

Try it: drag an event to another hour, check a task, or open one to edit.

  • Calendar The week of events.
  • Tasks The list you can check off.
  • Due What belongs on each day.
Daylined Week

Focus the board and press ? for its shortcuts. Left and right move the week. Delete removes the focused event.

In motion

Each panel is the real board playing one gesture. The time is how long that loop runs.

02

Drag: move an event to a later hour

A lecture moves down the day, then undo puts it back. That is the same change as moving it on the calendar.

  • Lecture The event that moves.
  • Undo Puts it back.
Loop 0:07

03

Open: delete an event, then undo

An event opens, is deleted, and undo brings it back. Deleting here deletes it from Google Calendar.

  • Open The event card.
  • Undo Restores the delete.
Loop 0:08

04

Due: what sits on each day

The Due row opens the tasks and all-day items for each day, then closes.

  • Due The row under the days.
  • A day Its tasks and all-day items.
Loop 0:06

05

Batches: weekdays, then the full week

Batches switches the board to weekdays, then back to all seven days.

  • Batches The day menu.
  • Weekdays Monday to Friday.
Loop 0:07

06

Titles: full, then compact

Event titles switch from the full line to a shorter one, then back. Compact fits more of the day on screen.

  • Full The whole title.
  • Compact The short form.
Loop 0:08

07

Time allocation: collapse, then open

The time-allocation card minimizes, then opens again, so the week can take the room.

  • Time allocation The card at the side.
  • Minimize Collapses it.
Loop 0:06

The board does not measure you.

Your calendar stays between you and Google.

No Daylined servers.

Daylined runs in your browser and talks directly to Google's Calendar and Tasks APIs. Your events never pass through us.

No analytics.

No trackers. No ads. The extension doesn't measure you. Neither does this website.

Your account only.

Daylined connects to the Google account you sign in with, and nothing else.

You're in control.

FAQs

Is Daylined part of Google Calendar?

No. Daylined is its own software and its own board. It connects to Google Calendar™ and Google Tasks so you can see the week in one place and change it there. Not affiliated with Google.

Do I need a new account?

No. You sign in with the Google account you already use. There is no Daylined account.

What do I install?

One Chrome extension, once it is in the Chrome Web Store. It is not listed yet, so there is nothing to add today. There is no separate app.

Does Daylined replace Google Calendar?

No. Your events stay in Google Calendar and your tasks stay in Google Tasks. Daylined is a clearer view of that week, and a faster way to plan it and move things around.

If I move or delete something, does it change in Google Calendar?

Yes. Edits you make on the board are saved to your Google Calendar, just as if you'd made them there. Deleting an event deletes it from Google Calendar. Checking a task updates that task in Google Tasks.

What does Daylined access?

Only what it needs to show and edit your week: your Google Calendar events and your Google Tasks. The privacy policy lists the three OAuth scopes.

Is my data sent anywhere?

Only to Google, to load and save your own calendar and tasks. There is no Daylined server, and nothing is sold or shared.

Which browsers does it work in?

Desktop Google Chrome.

How much does it cost?

Daylined is free.

How do I remove it?

Remove the extension from chrome://extensions, then revoke Daylined's access in your Google Account under third-party connections.

Who makes Daylined?

Miles McHugh, an independent developer. Questions: [email protected]. Not affiliated with Google.
