dayrippleDesktop app · Calendar mode / Planner mode
Find your way around the desktop app and drag to move
Like the phone app, the desktop app has a calendar mode and a planner mode. Pick what to see in the sidebar on the left, and drag events with the mouse to another day or list.
Choose what to see
Step 1. Switch between Calendar and Planner at the top center of the window
The rounded button at the top center of the window switches modes. Calendar mode is the calendar you share with your space members. At the top of the sidebar on the left, pick the Calendar, To-do or Anniversaries screen, then click the space you want to see in the ‘Spaces’ list below.
Planner mode is where you plan your own day. The sidebar has Today, Next 7 days, My lists and Personal day counters. In the Calendar mode group at the bottom, click Shared events or Anniversaries to show or hide them on the planner screens.
Open Settings from the bottom of the sidebar. In the planner, click the row with your name. In calendar mode, click the gear next to your name.
Step 2. In the planner, choose Day, Week, Month or ‘List’
The buttons under the planner title change how much you see. Day shows one day, Week shows 7 days starting today, and Month shows a month calendar. ‘List’ gathers the items in the list you picked, grouped by date. Use ← and → on the keyboard to move a day at a time, and click Today to come back if you're on another day.
The column on the right is the Inbox, where things without a date collect. If the window is narrow, this column folds away, and you can open it with the ‘Inbox N’ button at the top.
Make the window wide enough and a ‘View with calendar’ button appears in the title bar. Click it to see your planner day and the calendar side by side.

Step 3. Press an event and drag it onto another day
On the calendar in calendar mode, press an event chip, drag it to another day and let go. While you drag, a small tag shows how many days you're moving it. When you drop it, ‘Moved to Oct 15’ appears. Click Undo to send it back to its original day. Press esc while dragging to cancel.
The planner works the same way. Drag an item on the Day, Week or Month screen, or in the Inbox, onto another day to change its date. Drag it within the same day to change the order. Drop it on a list in the sidebar to move it to that list.
Step 4. Press an empty spot on the calendar and drag to create a multi-day event
On the calendar in calendar mode, press an empty spot on the first day, drag to the last day and let go. A new event window opens with that date range filled in.
Double-click a date to open a new event window for that day. Click it once to open a panel with that day's events.
Good to know
- Repeating events can't be dragged to another day. If you try, you'll see ‘To change a repeating event, edit it instead’. Open the event and change its date.
- Events from the Mac calendar can't be dragged. Change them in the Mac Calendar app.
- Dragging starts only once you move the mouse a little. If you press without moving, the event's details panel opens.
- The window can't be made very small. A wider window lets you use the inbox column and ‘View with calendar’ together.
