Tasks, Plan and Calendar

Switch between the three layouts

Chunk has three layouts, from all tasks to all calendar.

Tasks is your lists. When the window is wide enough, today sits beside them.

Plan keeps your lists in the sidebar beside the calendar, ready to drag onto it.

Calendar gives the whole window to the calendar.

1. Click one of the three icons at the top left: Tasks, Plan and Calendar, in that order.
2. Or press ⇧⌘← and ⇧⌘→ to step one layout left or right.

To open Chunk at a layout from any app, record a shortcut for Tasks layout, Plan layout or Calendar layout in Settings → Shortcuts.

Choose how many days you see

The Calendar range button, at the right of the calendar's date bar, shows the range in view, such as Week. Each layout keeps its own.

1. Click the range button and choose Day, 3 days, 5 days, Week or Month. Each shows its shortcut beside it.
2. For a single day, choose Timeline view or List view under Day as. The list shows the day's blocks as cards, in order.
3. To step back and forward, use the arrows either side of the date, or ⌘← and ⌘→. Click the date to pick one, or press ⌘T to go to today.

3 days runs forward from the day you pick. 5 days is Monday to Friday, and Week is the whole week from your week start.

The compact panel shows one day, with no range button or Calendars: click Widen panel or detach the window.

Open the hours outside your day

The calendar focuses on your day hours, 8 am to 8 pm unless you change them, and folds the rest into a band at the top and foot of the time column. Anything in those hours still shows, squeezed into the band.

1. Click the band at the top of the time column, labelled Expand early hours, to open the hours before your day.
2. Click it again, now labelled Collapse early hours, to fold them away.
3. The band at the foot does the same for the late hours.
4. To open both at once, click the range button and choose Full day, or press ⇧⌘F. Do it again to fold them both.

Full day needs a timeline, so it's greyed out at Month and on a day shown as a list.

Change your day hours

1. Open Settings → Date & Time.
2. Under Day hours, drag the two handles along the rail: the first sets when your day starts, the second when it ends.

Zoom the timeline

1. Point at the timeline.
2. Pinch on your trackpad, or hold ⌃ and scroll. The time under the pointer stays where it is.

Hide calendars from view

1. Click Calendars, beside the range button.
2. Under Show, click Calendar events, Chunk tasks or Reminders to hide or show that kind of entry.
3. Below, click a calendar to hide or show it. A filled dot means shown, a hollow one hidden.
4. To bring everything back, choose Show all at the foot of the menu.

While something is hidden, the button shows how many, such as Calendars · 2. To connect a calendar or stop one syncing, use Settings → Calendars.
