See everything on one calendar

Hitaji Calendar does not hold anything of its own. It gathers five kinds of thing that live elsewhere and lays them out together:

• Tasks with dates
• Reminders — your personal ones
• Events
• Appointments
• Meetings — these come from your organisation

That is the whole idea: one place to see whether Thursday is actually free, rather than five places that each think it is.

Scope and view are different controls

People conflate these, so it is worth separating them.

Scope is whose things you are looking at — All, Personal or Organization. View is the shape: Day, Week, 3-Day, Month, Quarter, Year or Schedule.

Views have single-key shortcuts, which are worth learning because you will switch constantly: D day, W week, 3 three-day, M month, Q quarter, Y year, A schedule, and T to jump back to today.

Adding something

Press Create and choose what it is, or click an empty day. Hitaji then hands you the real form for that kind of thing, so an appointment gets the appointment form rather than a watered-down calendar version.

You cannot create on a past date by clicking it — the calendar will tell you so rather than silently making something backdated.

Faded items you cannot open

Repeating tasks and reminders show projected future occurrences so you can see what is coming. These are previews, not real records yet, so they cannot be opened. The task becomes real on its due date; the reminder when the current one is completed.
