Spot busy stretches, find free time, and see how everything fits without flipping through months. Events appear as coloured bars across the days they span. Tap any one for the details. Four Ways to See Your Year Horizontal (months as rows) or vertical (months as columns, like a wall planner), each with two day arrangements: - Linear: days align by weekday, so overloaded days stand out. - Regular: days align by date (1–31), every month's 1st in the same column. Edit Right on Your Calendar (New in 2.0) Create, edit, and delete events without leaving Lineár: times, locations, notes, reminders, and full repeating events. Your first 10 edits are free. Lineár Pro then unlocks unlimited editing as a one-time purchase, no subscription. Viewing always stays free.
