Day Timeline · a Widgetscape widget
Your calendar as a timeline along the edge of your Mac’s screen.
Day Timeline docks today’s calendar to a screen edge as a radio-tuner dial. Events are the stations, the glowing needle is now, and the next event is tuned in with a countdown. Hover a station to see what’s on, scroll along the dial to tune ahead, and click Join when a call starts.
Try it: point at a station on the dial, scroll or drag along it, or focus it and use the arrow keys.

How Day Timeline works
Most calendar widgets are a box with a list. Day Timeline is a strip of fine tick marks on your wallpaper, along the left, right, top or bottom edge of the screen — no card and no frame, with a soft halo so it reads on any wallpaper.
- Stations are events. Each event sits on the dial in its calendar’s colour, at its time. The next one is “tuned in”, with a countdown.
- The needle is now. It moves through the day on its own; a running Focus Timer session shows on the ruler too.
- Hover to read. The ticks magnify under the pointer like the Dock, and a card opens with the event’s title, time, place and calendar, and a Join button for video calls.
- Tune ahead. Scroll or drag along the dial to look through the day, or use the arrow keys. After a few idle seconds the needle returns to now.

Which calendars it reads
Day Timeline shows the calendars you use in Widgetscape: Apple Calendar on your Mac (macOS asks for Calendar access the first time), and Google Calendar or Microsoft 365 accounts you connect in the app, read-only. Events are read on your Mac and go nowhere else — nothing passes through our servers.
Day Timeline and the rest of your desktop
Day Timeline is one of 31 Widgetscape widgets. Put the Calendar or Agenda widget next to it for a month view or a list, and the Focus Timer to see your focus sessions on the dial. Like every Widgetscape widget, it lives on the desktop, behind your windows.
Day Timeline is part of Widgetscape Pro — €9.99 + VAT, one-time, for up to 2 Macs. Every download includes a free 14-day trial of all widgets, and the Calendar widget stays free forever.
