Zoom Out. See the Bigger Picture. Lineár shows your whole year in a single view: all 365 days at once. 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. Scroll Through the Years (New in 2.1) Keep scrolling past December into the next year, or back into the last one. No switching, no page breaks, just one continuous timeline. 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 and free time stand out. - Regular: days align by date (1–31), every month's 1st in the same column. Edit Right on Your Calendar Create, edit, and delete events without leaving Lineár: times, locations, notes, links, reminders, and full repeating events. Move events between calendars and choose a default calendar for new ones. Your first 10 edits are free. Lineár Pro then unlocks unlimited editing as a one-time purchase, no subscription. Viewing always stays free. Your Calendars, Your Way Works with iCloud, Google, Exchange, and subscribed calendars in their own colours. Tap a calendar in the toolbar to show or hide it, long press to see only that one. Drag calendars in the sidebar to set which events come out on top, and give any calendar your own colour. Clean Design, Full Control Choose a preset (Yellow, Green, B&W, High Contrast) or customise colours, fonts, and layout. Pin the header or left column while scrolling, like freezing panes in a spreadsheet. Compact mode fits row heights to your events. Filter out timed or single-day events, and show week numbers and event times. Made for Every Screen Lineár runs on Mac, iPad, iPhone, and iPhone Duo. On Mac, hover over events for a quick preview and use keyboard shortcuts. On iPhone and iPad, pinch to zoom. An online manual is available from the app. Print It. Share It.
