Plan your day ☀️

Scaffold calendar in Week view: habits such as Read 20 pages in the all-day row, a repeating Team standup every weekday, Coffee with Ana, Lunch with Rin and a Focus block, with the Inbox panel on the right.
Scaffold on a phone: the Today page with the greeting and a timeline of the day, Team standup and 1:1 with Sol each showing a Join button.

Your plans are still just files

An event is a note with a few lines of frontmatter. No hidden database, nothing locked in: open it in any editor and it still makes sense.

A nudge at the right time 🔔

Add remind: 10m to an event and Scaffold tells you, on Windows and on Android. Snooze it for 10 minutes, or open the note in one tap. Missed a few while the app was closed? They arrive as one tidy card, not a pile.
