A diary, a leave spreadsheet and a wall of cards are three calendars.

Notion can fake a calendar. Asana can show a timeline. ClickUp can show everything. None of them is the week: your meetings, the team’s leave, and the note you pinned to Thursday.

I do not need another place that shows every task as a bar. I need to know who is off, what is on my own calendar, and which note I meant to deal with on Thursday. The board already has dates. The timer already has hours. Putting all of that on one grid is how a calendar becomes a junk drawer.

ShellStack’s calendar is one page and three tabs. My Calendar is the signed-in person’s connected calendars. Leave Calendar is everyone’s leave. My Notes is that person’s own memos. Task dates stay in Tides. Tracked time stays in TurtleTime. We tried showing all of it here. It made the week harder to read, so we stopped.

Leave is a tag, not a project

• Month only. A leave entry is a compact tag: colour, avatar, name, and the type with the duration.
• Drag a type onto a day, or drag your own row to move it. Full day or half day. Planned, vacation or sick.
• You can see the team. You can only create, move, edit or remove your own leave.
• Open a day when you need the list. The grid stays a month, not a second inbox.

Meetings and notes stay personal

My Calendar reads the calendars you connected, for the range you are looking at, and it ignores everyone else’s connections. My Notes shows your dated memos from Kraken. Undated notes stay in the notebook. Click a record when you want the full title, and open it in the app that owns it. The calendar does not become the editor.

A calendar that shows every task is a board that forgot it was a calendar.

Use the suite calendar for the week a person actually has. Use the board when the question is the work. Use the timer when the question is the hour.
