This release is about shaping the calendar around your actual day. Until now, MakeTimeFlow showed everyone the same calendar window and made the same assumptions about when work happens. That works for some people. It doesn’t work for the early riser starting at 5 AM, the parent doing focus blocks at 9 PM, or the user whose “work hours” are simply different from someone else’s. So we made the calendar yours.
Released: Wednesday, May 27, 2026
Set Your Own Calendar Hours
Head to Preferences → Work Hours and you’ll find four new settings:
- Show from and Show until — the visible range of your calendar. Want to see your full day from 5 AM to midnight? Set it. Prefer a tight 8 AM–6 PM view so the calendar isn’t cluttered with hours you’ll never touch? Do that instead.
- Work starts and Work ends — the hours that get the subtle business-hours highlight on the calendar, so you can see at a glance which blocks are inside your working day and which aren’t.
The settings apply everywhere the calendar appears: the main calendar view, the time-blocking workspace, and even your focus session calendar. No more fighting a default window that doesn’t match how you actually work.
A Cleaner Event vs Task Toggle
When you create something on the calendar, is it an event (a meeting, an appointment, a fixed commitment) or a task (work you want to do during that block)? It matters — events show up on your calendar but stay out of your task lists; tasks pull double duty.
The calendar add and edit modals now have a simple two-pill Event | Task toggle, right where you’re already deciding what kind of block this is. The same toggle is on the zen task card too, replacing a hidden picker that lived behind a ”…” overflow menu where most people never found it.
Defaults are sensible: new calendar blocks start as Events, since that’s usually what you’re scheduling. One click to flip.
Pick Which Calendar a Task Syncs With
If you have both Google Calendar and Outlook connected, you now get to choose where a new task lands. A small Google | Outlook picker appears next to the Event/Task toggle in the calendar add modal — defaulting to whichever provider you’ve set as your default for new events, so single-provider users see no change.
For users juggling personal Google and work Outlook (or any other combination), this means you can finally direct each task to the calendar that should hold it, without having to move it after the fact.
Calendar Edits Show Up Instantly
Previously, editing notes, deadline, x-factor, or bucket on a calendar event would save correctly — but the on-screen calendar block wouldn’t reflect the change until you reloaded. Same with tasks freshly dragged onto the calendar: they’d open with blank notes and missing pills.
That’s now fixed. The full task details flow through to the calendar immediately, so what you see is what’s actually there. (This was the same class of bug behind a similar calendar-event glitch in mid-May, and we’ve documented the pattern so future calendar fields won’t repeat it.)
Smoother Outliner and Inbox Sorting
Two friction-reducers for the keyboard-driven users:
- Backspace works correctly on indented blank lines. If you created an indented sub-task and then changed your mind, pressing Backspace used to silently do nothing. Now it cleanly removes the line — and on a non-blank indented line, Backspace merges your text back into the parent without dropping the task’s sync identity.
- Keyboard sorting your inbox stays in your inbox. When you press
l(or any bucket shortcut) to move a task out of your inbox during a sorting session, the view no longer scrolls down to reveal where the task landed. Your eye stays on the next task to sort. (Card-based moves in zen view still reveal the destination — only the keyboard sorting flow changed.)
How This Helps You Level Up
The thread here is fit. A calendar that shows you hours you don’t use, business-hours shading that ignores when you actually focus, a calendar provider chosen for you, a hidden Event/Task picker — all of these are small mismatches between the tool and how you actually work. Each one is tiny. Stacked, they’re the difference between a calendar that supports your day and one you have to work around.
Your day isn’t generic. The calendar that runs alongside it shouldn’t be either.
