Done Cal

A little more done.

A calendar holds your plans. Done Cal adds a way to see what happened. Checkmarks, colour and a quiet Focus timer bring progress back to the events themselves.

One calendar.
Five small changes.

The website keeps the same calendar in view while the story cards move past it. Each card highlights as its state appears, so the visitor can follow a change without having to find their place again.

  1. 01 / A familiar day

    Four example events. One already done. Names and times stay in view.

  2. 02 / Check it off

    Studio time fills with colour. Its tile checks off, and the day becomes 2/4.

  3. 03 / Make time

    Focus counts down for Read a chapter. At zero, the event is still incomplete.

  4. 04 / Move a plan

    Reading moves to tomorrow inside Done Cal. Today becomes 2/3; tomorrow gets that one event.

  5. 05 / Change your mind

    Undo brings reading back. Today returns to 2/4. The original calendar stays unchanged.

One checkmark.
Visible progress.

Tap either checkbox, then tap again to undo. The event, its matching tile and the count change together. Two events, two tiles: each mark means something you actually did.

Check an event. Tap the same checkbox to undo.

Your day, in two tiles

The colour keeps each event recognizable.
The checkmark makes completion explicit.

Interactive close-up adapted from the website. Fictional events; nothing is saved.

Focus / Native interface study

Make time.
Leave room.

The native Focus screen gives the event and remaining time room to breathe. A fine elapsed ring starts at twelve o’clock and grows clockwise, lightening toward its advancing edge.

  • Elapsed time is visible without a busy display.
  • The timer reaching zero opens a decision. It never checks off the event for you.
  • Completing, taking a break and finishing without completion are explicit choices.

Illustrative web adaptation of the current SwiftUI design, with fictional content. The six-second preview compresses the last 7½ minutes of a 25-minute session.

Native Done Cal Collection screen: an earned Folio style and a dated mark for Friday, 4 September, with 1 of 3 events complete. Other days show no record.

A record of your days

A mark with
a memory.

The collection pairs a dated mark with an exact count. Earned styles remain available after undo, and days without a record stay unknown.

It gives progress a place to live without turning every empty day into a failure.
