Looks like an interesting idea, I'll give it a try.

My first thought is this a perfect concept for family planning type stuff. Not planning TO HAVE a family, but planners FOR families or small groups or whatever. It's a perfect place to drop things like vacations or other stuff that will happen in a few months, but we all need to know about.

Could use something like "This Weekend" in that list as well. Maybe between "Today" and "Tomorrow" and before "This Week" or maybe after?

OK, tried it out already (because I'm procrastinating). Good concept I like it, simple and clean. I don't love the colors. Also when I go to add something to one of the things I'd rather just click in the lines rather than have to hit the big + at the bottom of the screen.

Really wanted to second the idea of a “this weekend” and “next weekend.” Having very full weeks, that’s sorta how things get broken down for me. Stuff I can sneak in during the week, but really, stuff I’ll spent time on Saturday doing. And with the US’s normal “Saturday is this week, Sunday is next week,” I’m not sure where I should put things.

Even if it was a thing I could turn on for me as a bonus timeframe. Or not. I like software with opinions. :) Nice work!

Thanks for the feedback! Really like the idea of This Weekend.

Btw are you suggesting different colors or just fewer colors overall?

Maybe a different color scheme, keeping the option for color and contrast you currently have.

I actually think this could be valuable for you:

I'm really unsure about the colors, other than I don't love them. I'm bad color suggestions! I also don't hate them, but I did notice them right away, they just don't look great.
