Organize your day in time blocks

Hours are derived, not decreed

You set one anchor: your wake time. Each block's start time is computed by adding up the durations of everything before it. Reorder blocks or change a duration, and every hour on the rail updates instantly — nothing to recalculate by hand.

Fixed times when you need them

Some things really do happen at a set hour — a call, a class, a train. Give any block a Fixed time and it anchors there; the flowing sequence resumes after it.

A beginning and an end

Set your Bed time and the timeline shows a Day close marker at the bottom: how much free time remains before bed — or by how much your plan overshoots it. Wake and bed times carry forward automatically to the following days, until you change them.

Add a block

Click Add a block and choose Block (a titled span of time: deep work, sport, lunch…) or Tasks block (a window on your day's tasks — see below). Give it a title and a duration, done. The new block slides into the earliest free slot big enough for it — not at the end of your plan (see "Blocks find their place" below).

Everything opens in place

Click a block and it unfolds right inside the timeline — the rest of your day stays visible around it. Adjust the title, duration, fixed time, mark it done, or delete it, then press Close (or hit Enter in the title field).

Reorder by drag & drop

Grab any block and move it. While you drag, the hours on the rail recompute live for the order you're hovering — you see the landing time of every block before you drop.

Cards sized by duration

A block's height is proportional to its length: a 15-minute block is a slim line, a 2-hour block is a tall card showing a preview of its content. Your day's shape is visible at a glance.

New blocks fill the first gap that fits

Wake up at 6:15 with a fixed block at 9:00? A 45-minute block lands at 6:15, the next hour-long one at 7:00 — and a 3-hour block, too big for the remaining morning gap, goes right after the 9:00 block instead. Add a 1-hour block next and it plugs the 8:00–9:00 hole. On today's timeline, new blocks are placed from the current time, never in the past.

Too big for the gap? It slides after

A flexible block that can't fully fit before the next fixed block slips to just after it — no overlaps, ever. The remaining gap stays visible as a Free time separator with its duration, so a block that "jumped" always explains itself.

Drop a block after a fixed block — it stays there

Dragging a flexible block right after a fixed one means "this comes after": it docks to the end of the fixed block and follows it if it moves, instead of drifting back into the morning's holes. Drag it before the fixed block and it returns to the first free slot. Your drop position is the instruction.

Resize a block, it finds its new spot

Grow a block past its gap and it re-places itself after the next fixed block; shrink it back and it returns to plug the hole. This only happens while the block still sits where automatic placement put it — once you've dragged it by hand, its position is yours and Keepsake won't touch it.

Give your tasks a time budget

Drag the tasks block anywhere in your day and give it a duration — "my tasks get 90 minutes, after sport". You can rename it and set a fixed time like any other block.

Several task slots per day

Create more than one tasks block to split your task work — one slot in the morning, one late afternoon. Active tasks always live in the current slot.

Unfinished tasks carry over

When a slot's window ends, whatever isn't done moves to the next slot automatically — the bullet-journal migration, at the scale of a single day. A past slot keeps showing what you completed during it (struck through): the visible trace of an accomplished day.

Set a time on a task

In the task's editor (or the calendar popover for quick edits), fill the Time (optional) field and, if you like, a duration. The time shows next to the date on every task list.

Clear the time to unplan

Use Remove time and the task returns to the tasks block. The time is a planning gesture, not a commitment — nothing else about the task changes.

Overdue tasks don't anchor

A task from a past day keeps its time for reference, but it won't pin itself onto today's timeline — it waits in the tasks block like any other overdue task.

“Where am I?” — the now line

On today's timeline, a thin red line marks the present moment — inside the current block, proportionally to its progress, exactly like the "now" line of a calendar. It refreshes on its own.

“When am I free?” — the next free slot

After the last block, the rail shows the time your plan ends, with a Free time separator — your next available moment, visible without scrolling or computing anything.

“Does it all fit?” — the day close

The Day close marker at the bottom shows the free time remaining before bed, or the overshoot if your blocks run past it. It's the honest answer to an overstuffed plan.
