  • Use the [SHIFT + ] shortcut on tasks in the Unplanned lane to plan them for today.

  • Use the [SHIFT + ] shortcut on tasks in the Planned lane to postpone them by 1 day.

  • Use the [SHIFT + ] shortcut on tasks in the Planned lane to unplan them.

Time Blocking

You can register tasks as events on the calendar to plan their start and end times.

  • Drag tasks to the calendar to schedule them as events.

  • Click and drag the bottom of the calendar event to adjust the end time.

    • You can also modify the task end time in the calendar popover.

Tasks scheduled on the OFFLIGHT calendar are also scheduled on the linked Google Calendar.

  • When you complete a task in OFFLIGHT, a checkbox emoji (✅) is added to the Google Calendar event title, marking it as completed.

  • If you only want to use time planning without registering on Google Calendar, you can change the settings.

    • Settings → Calendar:

      • Method 1: Turn off the 'Block time for scheduled tasks on Google Calendar' setting.

      • Method 2: Change the sharing options as follows:

        • Booking availability: Free

        • Calendar visibility: Private

      • Method 1 ensures the event is not registered on your Google Calendar. Method 2 registers the event on your Google Calendar but keeps it private from others.
