Calendar Navigation

Browse journal entries across day, month, and year scales. Each scale shows progressively more context.

Day View

The default writing surface for a single date.

• Header arrows move ±1 day
• Date in the breadcrumb opens the picker
• The editor shows that day's entry; sidebar panes show schedule, tasks, AI connections (per your settings)

Month View

A grid of squares — one per day — with intensity reflecting entry length.

• Click any square to jump to that day
• A short preview pops on hover for non-empty days
• The current day is outlined

The heatmap uses raw word count, normalized within the visible month, so a quiet month doesn't look identical to a busy one.

Year View

Annual statistics for the focused year:

• Entries per month
• Total words
• Longest streak (consecutive days with entries)
• Words-by-month sparkline

Useful for end-of-year retrospectives.

Date Picker

Available from:

• The breadcrumb in any journal view
• The picker icon next to the date

Picks any date, switches to that view if needed.

Day Panel Integration

The Day Panel on the right has its own monthly grid. Clicking a date in the day panel sets focus across the journal — both the panel and the journal page navigate together.

Streak

If you write something every day, the year view shows the streak count. memrynote doesn't gamify streaks beyond displaying them — there are no notifications, badges, or pressure.

Gaps

Empty days are visualized but not editable as "no entry". Just open the day; if it's empty, memrynote creates a fresh entry seeded with your default template the moment you focus the editor.

Sync

Calendar views read directly from local data. Newly synced entries appear after the next pull cycle.
