TimeParagon

Easily manage and track your life with a single app. It is designed to minimize friction and improve life satisfaction.

I really love this app. If you're interested in using it, it requires a bit of setup and it's only meant to be used with KDE Plasma Linux and Android. Also, it's a 150,000 SLOC vibe-coded monstrosity.

Tour

Docked mode is the feature that I love the most. Your day is always at a glance. You can still hover over and view information about events and tasks:

But you'll typically plan the day within the larger panel:

Editing details for events, tasks, time blocks, and more is done within a popup overlay:

Of course, there's also week, 2-week, and month views:
