Show HN: Tweek Calendar – A minimal weekly planner and to-do list
- tomschlick 4y agoNice! Seems like a beefed up version of https://teuxdeux.com/ https://teuxdeux.com/
- randomluck040 4y agoSeems like that, yeah. The thing that I’d need, which is what bugs me with teuxdeux as well, is an option to add some notes or more elaborate text on the entries. Sometimes it’s just not enough to have a few words to describe what I want to do. Maybe it’s not the purpose of the app and I’m looking for something else which is already there but my current method is calendar blocking.
- indiantinker 4y agoNice and clear design! All the best.
- OriginalPenguin 4y agoWhat did you write it in?
- sfaruque 4y agoThe web view looks great, with a "week planner" feel to it. I instantly got it and started adding some items to it. But with the mobile and Mac app (haven't tried the iPad app yet), it shows a "list type" view (not sure if that's the correct term). Are you considering adding a "week planner" view to at least the Mac app?
- bberenberg 4y agoI currently use cron.app but I expect that will die since Notion acquired them. One feature you should consider adding to the premium plan is calendar blocking across calendar. That way if I add multiple calendars, and I am busy on one, it auto blocks that time on others. This is a surprisingly complex tech problem to solve, but if you can do it, that's a meaningful feature for power users of calendars. Best of luck with Tweek!
- mmcclure 4y agoDon't put that out in the universe! I also use Cron, and personally really enjoy it so I'd be really bummed if it totally died. I had hopes the acquisition would mean more investment in Cron, but it's pretty noticeably slowed in velocity recently. :(
- superchink 4y agoDoes Cron have that feature?

- airstrike 4y agoLove the idea but my data having to live on someone else's servers makes it an unfortunate non-starter for me
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- dwlfrth 4y agoTotally agree. The idea, design, UX, everything is awesome. What would make it even more awesome would be a way to run it on our own infra.
- tonypham 4y agoTweek/Teuxdeux works great as a minimal weekly planner. If you want a more feature-rich Monthly/Weekly/Daily planner, check out https://upbase.io/ https://upbase.io/ I'm the founder of Upbase, and it was on Show HN just a few days ago.
- imwillofficial 4y agoI love upbase, but I’d say it’s bad form to go on somebody else’s announcement to promote your own product, despite the fact that they both fill very different roles. Thoughts?
- KaoruAoiShiho 4y agoIMO not bad form since it's useful for the average HN reader to have more choices. As a customer I want to see competition between vendors, that's always a good thing.
- tonypham 4y agoUpbase is a PM tool and not a direct competitor of Tweek, so I think giving people more choices is not so bad. Anyway, shame on me for this promotion.
- Void_ 4y agoLet the votes decide!
- imwillofficial 4y agoI’m tossing out upvotes like Halloween candy tho
- revskill 4y agoThanks for the launch. This will be my idea for my new project.
- s3r3nity 4y agoSorry, nope. This looks exactly like Teuxdeux, and even borrows some very similar product marketing imagery. (https://teuxdeux.com/ https://teuxdeux.com/) Also Weektodo: https://weektodo.me/ https://weektodo.me/ There are so many hard & interesting problems out there - software & otherwise - and this space doesn't need yet another re-skin with one or two tweaks.
- haliskerbas 4y agoSame with the toothpaste aisle, pasta sauce aisle etc. Sometimes personal preferences are part of the value prop.
- s3r3nity 4y agoCool - doesn't mean everyone with a reskinned app gets a participation trophy. Sometimes people need to hear tough feedback...lest you become one of those people that quit their jobs and audition on American Idol or something.
- yunwal 4y agoBut also at a certain point adding another choice that’s barely different from the last one leads to decision fatigue and ends up propping up the status quo. If you asked me which bespoke calendar app was right for you I’d have no idea and probably just suggest gcal.
- iamben 4y agoThis feels unnecessarily harsh. So what if you don't think it's a 'hard and interesting' problem? Couldn't you have applauded the effort and offered some constructive criticism regarding your preference in look and feel? If everyone just bums everyone out it ends up taking monumental confidence to try and achieve anything. Be better.
- s3r3nity 4y agoThere’s a balance being positive for effort vs giving everyone participation trophies. Sometimes tough but fair feedback is appropriate and needed. Let’s not pretend that the vectors for “effort” and “impact” should be orthogonal.
- rayrag 4y agoWeektodo is a similar app, it has web version and apps for all OS. And it's open source. https://weektodo.me/ https://weektodo.me/ https://app.weektodo.me/ https://app.weektodo.me/ https://github.com/manuelernestog/weektodo-web https://github.com/manuelernestog/weektodo-web
- avtar 4y agoFrom the repo’s read me: “For now the WeekTodo it is a Freeware application and not open source.”
- xrayarx 4y agoCan confirm, not open source
- epsteinisntdead 4y agoI'm kind of a privacy nut, but it's hard to take anyone seriously who says, "We're not open-sourcing this, but you can totally, 100% trust us."
- nacs 4y agoFrom that github link: "The code of this repo belongs to the app landing page and not to the application" So it's not open source at all as others have mentioned.
- bevenky 4y agoYou may want to redo your video voiceover with https://wellsaidlabs.com/ https://wellsaidlabs.com/
- airstrike 4y agoOK, color me impressed. I knew a few years back that this was going to be possible and easy a few years down the road, but didn't realize we were there yet. Amazing
- adlpz 4y agoI don't see any pricing in their site. What's the average cost per word?
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- prafulmunikumar 4y agoFound it here, https://help.wellsaidlabs.com/how-much-does-it-cost https://help.wellsaidlabs.com/how-much-does-it-cost Starting at 49 USD per month.
- droobles 4y agoThat's pretty cool! Love the design.
- barbazoo 4y agoThis is beautiful, congrats!!!
- dsp_person 4y agoLove seeing the live app come up first thing without needing to register, log in, etc.
- FredPret 4y agoI tried upgrading four times with two credit cards. Now one of them is blocked.
- r3trohack3r 4y agoThis is an absolutely amazing onboarding experience. Drops you right into the product and you "get it" almost immediately. Then context pops up and describes what you just saw with the option to continue playing before signing up. Love the call to action in the sample too "remember to save :point_up:" - but that wording threw me off a bit. Why save and not "save by logging in"? Does saving not happen automatically after every change?
- Promyvion 4y agoThis is a stunningly beautiful app! The thought and care put into the user experience really shows, and works particularly well for my brain. I’d love to see support for more of a week-agnostic format. That our weeks traditionally start on Monday or Sunday means nothing to me. If it’s Friday or Saturday and I’m mapping out my next five days, I’m stuck with the jarring experience of having to navigate back and forth between two arbitrary groups of days. I’m imagining a layout option where of the 7 days, day 2 is always today, perhaps with some sort of smooth-scroll snapping capability that lets me granularly travel forward or backward through days as needed.
- ghewgill 4y agoHave a look at https://teuxdeux.com https://teuxdeux.com. It's similarly laconic as Tweek, and the default view is "now and the next few days".
- lawgimenez 4y agoWill it sync to iCloud calendar?
- nikkey80 4y agoZapier (coming soon ..)
- lab14 4y agoHeh, this mirrors my current Workflowy setup.
- jordanmorgan10 4y agoHmmm, really cool idea - I could get behind it. But on iOS, the app does not feel native. The transition timing is off, some of the animations are super stiff - some tell tale signs.
- flappyeagle 4y agoWould pay if it had bidirectional google calendar sync. Right now it’s only google calendar into tweek My CC is ready
- TIPSIO 4y agoAbsolutely stellar. Will definitely give it a try. Great job and thanks for sharing
- tcmb 4y agoI really like it, and it's funny because I had just started using a very similar system a few weeks ago. I was using Trello with eight lists (Mon thru Sun and a 'backlog') as a sort of proof of concept. One 'feature' I was using myself was a 'rolling week': The leftmost column is always today [1]. At the end of the day, I'd make a point of clearing out all items that were not checked off: They either move to one of the upcoming days or back into the backlog. At first I thought I would want some automatic behavior, like always moving unchecked items to the next day, but it's actually become a useful end-of-day ritual for me to see what I did not do, whether it is still important and if and when I want to do it. Then, when everything out of 'today' is either checked off or moved elsewhere, the day moves to the end of the rolling week, so that on each day of the week I always have a visible window of seven days. Another feature I started using regularly was the 'copy' functionality that Trello has built in: it's just practical to be able to quickly duplicate items and in the process define into which day they should go. [1] Actually the second col from the left, because I had the backlog as the leftmost one Edit: I should clarify that I wasn't using this as a _calendar_ but rather as a Todo app/list. I'm still using macOS' regular calendar app for everything that is more than 7 days out.
- imilk 4y agoThe name makes it sound like a calendar for methheads. Which would probably be very useful, but I'm sure that's not the intended audience.
- intull 4y agoLove the design! Are there CSS libraries which offer a look and feel like Tweek? I've been wanting to adopt similar designs in some of my projects.
- benhurmarcel 4y agoIf you don't complete a task today, does it automatically gets moved to tomorrow?
- bulldog13 4y agoThe world can't have enough ToDo web apps !
- 28304283409234 4y agoPet peeve regarding all calendars everywhere: why do you think I have less todo during the weekend? No parties? No shopping? No family reunions? Please make the saturday and sunday as large as the weekdays. <3
- lawgimenez 4y agoWould love to try premium like for 30 days though. Or 7 days.
- iamdamian 4y agoThis looks amazing! Are you working on a privacy policy?
- maltalex 4y agoOne feature I always wanted calendars/todo apps to have is support for repetitive tasks. For example - say I need to service the car every year so I create a corresponding repeating event in my calendar. However, at some point I decide to service the car a couple of months sooner or later than planned. Now, the events are out of sync and I have to reschedule the whole series so it doesn't drift. Or, if I'm past the planned servicing time, I don't see the event at all and may forget about it. What I'd like to be able to do is to create a repetitive todo that pops up again a certain time AFTER THE LAST TIME I COMPLETED IT. I serviced the car a month ahead of time? I complete the task, and the next occurrence will also move up by a month. I was on vacation when the car had to be serviced? The todo is still there, and the next occurrence will also be pushed back.
- offsky 4y agoToodledo.com does this. I know because I made Toodledo, although I no longer own it.
- chazeon 4y agoThe only app that does this right I know is Things 3[1] by Cultured Code. [1]: https://culturedcode.com/ https://culturedcode.com/
- poprivet 4y agoTickTick does this, best todo app I've ever used.
- sxg 4y agoMany todo apps do this including Things 3 and OmniFocus. What you want is a task that recurs on completion as opposed to one that recurs on a schedule.
- Flimm 4y agoTodoist allows you to to create a repetitive tasks (that restarts the clock after task completion) by typing "every!" with an exclamation mark.
- Brajeshwar 4y agoFirst, let me clarify that I'm not against any tools and am always looking for that ideal one to lean on. I realized that most people are looking at the tools to solve their problems and hoping that it will somehow nudge/pressure/force/cajole them into doing their tasks. However, I believe that no external tool will be meaningful unless you develop a system or a pattern of acting on how to get things done. I was a very early user of teuxdeux.com, Fantastical, etc. and have subscribed for a while. I like the idea of Your Life in Weeks[1], so I'm currently subscribed to TimeStripe[2]. However, it looks like I'm better off just journaling and mind-mazing my future in plain-text[3]. If I need something, I might copy or design up something. Like the other comments, my take is, Tweek indeed looks beautiful and brilliant, and I will try it (signing up now). But then, with such tools, my usual outcome is -- hmmm, I believe I can do that without the tool(s). Here is how my current calendar/todo pattern works; - "Important and Urgent" ones are scheduled in the calendar. - "Urgent but Not Important" are delegated or sent to the right person. - "Important but not Urgent" are in a running plain-text (todo) that I might visit weekly or monthly. - The above may also have a "Maybe" list that is Neither Important NOR Urgent, which I might cancel, defer, or wait until it gets resolved. Once you have a system and can continue to tweak it, things become lot easier either with a tool or with something as easy and fast as pen/paper. 1. https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/life-weeks.html https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/life-weeks.html 2. https://timestripe.com https://timestripe.com 3. https://brajeshwar.com/2022/plain-text/ https://brajeshwar.com/2022/plain-text/
- euroderf 4y agoThis looks like your basic Eisenhower matrix. I'd suggest that "Important but not Urgent" is the quadrant where subtasks and project management live.
- stevage 4y agoSmall quibble, but I don't like the "17.11" formatting of dates. It doesn't look like a date to me. Suggest just "17th", since the month name is written in big above anyway.

- r0b05 4y agoWhy does the live demo of your app require me to sign up?
- aabbcc1241 4y agoInteresting to have a workable demo right in the home page without asking people to signup. It works better than screenshots
- xmonkee 4y agoThis is the "new tab" page I've been looking for all my life
- webjac 4y agoThis has been around for yeeears. Why is it news now?
- onlytrash 4y agocan it be linked to outlook.com?
