Your history by month

Try it

Click Calendar under History in the sidebar.

It shows a month at a time. Each day is shaded green by how much of what was due you worked on, and a dot marks a day with notes. Click a day to see what you logged effort on and what you wrote. ‹ and › change the month, and Today comes back. The context pills work here too, so you can look at one part of your life at a time.

Apple Calendar

Try it

1. Open Settings: menu bar › Excellence Is a Habit › Settings, or ⌘,. On iPhone, it’s the gear at the top of the sidebar.
2. Find Calendar Integration, turn it on, and click Allow when asked.

Two switches appear.

Your Excellent Agenda in Apple Calendar adds an “Excellence” calendar and keeps one event per day on it, listing the habits due that day. Today’s title counts what you’ve done out of your active habits, as in “Your Excellent Agenda (2/5)”. Each event links back into the app — today’s opens Active, a future day’s opens Scheduled at that day. Remove Excellence Calendar takes it away again.

Events in Active and Scheduled goes the other way: your own calendar events appear inside the app. Today’s sit in Active, and each future day’s sit in that day’s section of Scheduled, so the day you’re planning shows both what you meant to do and what is already booked. Calendars chooses which ones to include.

Either switch can be off. The integration only reads the calendars you pick and only writes to the calendar it made.
