Traditional calendar view?

Feature Requests

I’m not sure if the options are named the same in your AT version. You may want to consult the knowledge base and find the appropriate definitions.

My example is very simple. In any case, you can create much more complex timelines where this would no longer work. You can nest events, group them, make them overlap, make them dependent on each other, etc. You can combine very short events with very long-lasting ones. I’m not sure whether all these options can even be mapped in a traditional calendar view.

And of course, the “per day” cascading can no longer work if you shrink the time scale.

Be aware, the horizontal axis is the time axis, and the vertical axis is not, even it might appear so in my arrangement. For me, anyway, the vertical order has always been of secondary importance.

I’d love a Calendar view for writing novels. It would help me really picture the months and weeks as this is how I view my own life and my brain understands it better.

Chiming in to agree that this is a desired feature request.

Also, FWIW, a calendar view seems to be the ONLY view available in https://fantasy-calendar.com, a product working in a similar space.

Same here, sounds awesome. I use a different app for that right now and this would push me to ditch it and use aeon 100% for everything

Hi, I would also like to add onto this request for a traditional calendar view. I’m currently working on a “never-ending” narrative project with 0-5 events per day (with frequent reshuffling), and the existing views aren’t sufficient.

The Timeline view ends up too busy with all the scenes (but is good for moving scenes and simultaneously updating dates), and the Outline view can’t seem to be grouped by dates/weeks/days and moving scenes around needs manual date updates (but is better for tracking details and readability), as far as I’m aware.

I need a calendar view that would allow me to drag-and-drop scenes, which would update their dates automatically, and also provide similar details to the Outline view; or just the ability to group by dates/weeks/days on the Outline view, where dragging rows around would automatically update their dates based on their grouping.

Hi, I also think it would be very helpful. I’m currently plotting a story that has a high school student main character, and having some sort of calender-view would make it A LOT easier to arrange events so it works around a normal school-schedule. Because most of the actual story-events happen outside of school, and always calculating the date and time down to the hour gets old really fast if you have to do it a lot. And don’t get me wrong, your timeline view is great, but even with Calendar-Markers it gets very frustrating sometimes.
