What's built in.

VuCalendar doesn't make you assign exact times. Tasks live in time-of-day lanes — broad windows that match how you already think about your day. Three main lanes break into six sub-blocks: structure without rigidity.

• Three lanes — Early Day, Mid Day, Late Day — the natural rhythm of a working day
• Six sub-blocks refine placement: Top of Day, Before Mid Day, After Mid Day, Before Evening, After Evening, Night
• AllDay tasks sit in their own rail — errands, reminders, and loose todos
• No clock-watching. Your task sits where your energy sits.

Every task carries colour — and that colour comes from a cascading system. Super Groups colour Groups; Groups colour tasks. A single choice at the top propagates through dozens of tasks below. Structure that scales.

• Super Groups house Groups. Groups house tasks. Colour flows downward.
• Every view — DayVu, WkVu, MnthVu — respects the cascade
• Override at any level: a task can carry its own colour independent of its group
• Bulk Sets add a parallel colour dimension for batch-authored work

Every calendar view shares the same language — tap, swipe, long-press work identically everywhere. What changes is the scale of time. DayVu is execution. WkVu is planning. MnthVu is pattern recognition — and it uses a genuinely novel layout: weekdays run in rows, every Monday in one line, every Tuesday below it.

• DayVu — lane-based daily view. Portrait. Hyper-focused execution.
• WkVu — seven-column weekly grid. Landscape. The planning horizon.
• MnthVu — weekdays in rows, not a grid. Pacing becomes impossible to miss.
• Week Start Day (Sun/Mon) and Month Start Mode are yours to set

VuModal is the authoring core — and it's intentionally complete. Title, duration, time-of-day, sub-block, colour, group, regiment, tracking mode — all set in one place. No labels, no tags, no secondary screens. The task is the container for all its own context.

• Core fields: title, duration, TOD lane, sub-block, colour, group
• Tracking mode sets the task's lifecycle intent
• Regiment attachment adds step-by-step procedure lists
• No labels, no tags — the task itself is the organising unit

VuCalendar distinguishes scheduled tasks that sit in time-of-day lanes from AllDay tasks that float outside the lane structure. AllDay tasks are your loose todos — grocery shopping, take the car in, make the call. They get their own rail and join lifecycle tracking, but they never compete for lane space.

• Scheduled: lives in a TOD lane and sub-block, with duration and placement
• AllDay: lives in a separate rail — errands, reminders, open-ended todos
• Both join tracking modes, groups, and lifecycle intelligence fully
• Day-before reminders work for both

This is the core idea. Most apps make you keep habits in one tool and tasks in another. VuCalendar instead lets a single task carry an intent — and that intent reshapes its lifecycle, its action label, and how it's later read in HistoryVu. Set it once, on the task itself. The three intent modes are free for up to 20 active tracked tasks; no mode is always free and complete.

• Completion — finishable work. Action: “Complete.” Auto-archives after a 30-day grace.
• Practice — consistency work. Action: “Log.” Open-ended; idle notice at 60 days.
• Guide — stewardship work. Action: “Follow through.” No hard-failure framing.
• No mode — a simple scheduled task. Always free and complete.

Groups are colour-coded categories; Super Groups are containers that hold groups. A freelancer's “Work” Super Group might hold “Clients,” “Creative,” and “Admin.” A student's “School” holds “Classes,” “Study,” and “Projects.” Simple, but it scales to any level of life.

• Groups — colour-coded. Every task belongs to one.
• Super Groups — nest related categories together.
• Colours cascade Super Group → Group → Task
• Full batch management: move, recolour, reorganise at any level

When you need several related tasks with minor differences — a training schedule, a weekly review, a client onboarding — Bulk Sets let you author them together in one editor. Two are included free. Each task in a set stays independent after creation, carrying its own colour and schedule.

• Batch-create related tasks with shared structure
• Each task is independent once created
• Bulk Sets carry their own colour dimension
• Two included free — unlimited with the LocalVu unlock

TaskHub is a unified view that reflects tasks by their actual container — under their group, inside their bulk set, or unattached. The Inbox is where lifecycle intelligence surfaces: what needs attention, upcoming import reminders, and archived items, each in its own categorised lane.

• Reflects the real hierarchy: groups, bulk sets, unattached tasks
• Inbox categories: Attention (urgent), Upcoming (reminders), Log (archived)
• Lifecycle-driven — surfaces what needs your eyes, not what's loudest
• Search within TaskHub is included free

When a time-of-day lane can't hold what you're scheduling, VuCalendar tells you — while you're still editing. A chip shows the exact minutes (scheduled vs. capacity), a band appears above Save, and saving anyway brings a brief confirm. It's a passive layer: the system informs, it never blocks. (Acting on the overflow in place is ProVu's Overtime Resolution.)

• Warning chip with exact minute math (e.g. “Today · 285m/120m”)
• Warning band above the Save button
• Save-time alert: saves as-is — Cancel or Save Anyway
• Always free — you're never left in the dark about overload

With a live weather sky or a custom photo behind your tasks, text could easily wash out. Text Resolution automatically picks black or white per element against whatever's behind it — task titles, lane labels, navigation — with a WCAG contrast floor. It's corrective, system-level infrastructure, not a toggle, and it's free on every surface.

• Automatic black/white text against any backdrop
• Works with Weather Adaptive, curated, and personal backgrounds
• WCAG contrast floor with an optional manual override
• System-level — legibility without sacrificing atmosphere

A physics-informed animated sky rendered live on your device — not static images. VuCalendar reads real weather for your location (or a city you pick), via the OpenWeather API, and renders the conditions in real time, with controls for intensity, motion, and atmosphere. This is free, intentionally — the best first impression belongs in front of the paywall, not behind it.

• Live-rendered with SVG + Skia — never a static PNG
• Clear, cloudy, rain, snow, fog, thunderstorm, haze, and more
• Controls: Intensity (4 tiers), Motion (3 levels), atmosphere style
• Always free — an acquisition driver, not a paywall feature

Not everyone wants weather-driven backgrounds. Curated Collections are hand-designed gradient scenes that rotate through your day — four time-of-day variants each, with a unique animated signature. One collection (VuCalm) is included free. More are available individually from the Theme Store.

• Rotating gradient scenes — no weather data needed
• Four time-of-day variants per collection
• VuCalm included free; more in the Theme Store (~$1.99 each)
• Works with Text Resolution for consistent legibility

Intensity (Minimal → Cinematic) and Motion (Off / Reduced / On) apply uniformly across every background mode — and they're free. Want to go further? Personal Library sets your own photos as backgrounds, and the Theme Store adds more curated collections — both one-time unlocks, owned for good.

• Intensity and Motion controls are free across all modes
• Default Plane: a clean, OS-aware gradient — free
• Personal Library: up to three of your own photos (LocalVu unlock)
• Theme Store: more curated collections, owned individually
