Changelogs

You open Arch Calendar every day, but until now it looked the same for everyone.

Now you can make Arch yours in a few clicks. Theme comes with a set of curated presets, each a color and texture already balanced for you. Pick Graphite, Ocean, or Lavender, or one of the softer and more vivid options like Blue Hour and Cherry, and the whole app follows. Dark and Light stay free for everyone. Color themes are part of Pro.

Space Color brings the same idea to your Spaces and schedule. Choose a palette (Neon, Mute, Pastel, Ocean, and more) and every Space shifts to match, so your calendar reads the way you want at a glance.

And on desktop, you can even change the App Icon. Swap in a new look for your dock or taskbar, and it updates the moment you pick it.

Other Improvements

• Navigation: Calendar and Analytics used to sit in the sidebar, where Analytics was easy to miss and switching views took effort. They now live in a Navigation bar on the calendar itself. Jump between Inbox only, Inbox + Calendar, Calendar only, and Analytics instantly, with shortcuts from Ctrl + 1 to Ctrl + 4 (Alt + 1 to Alt + 4 on Windows).

• Show past events dimmed: You can now choose to show past events and completed tasks dimmed, so your focus stays on what is still ahead.

Arch Calendar Pro is now $6/month, or $4/month with an annual subscription, down from $8 and $6.

Arch Calendar is one simple calendar you use every day: a minimal place to manage your tasks, events, and notes together. We believe a daily tool should leave little room for wondering whether to keep it. $6 is a price that eases that hesitation, and at the same time, one that lets our team keep building Arch Calendar for the long run.

The new pricing takes effect today. If you're already on Pro, no action is needed. Starting from your next billing date, you'll automatically be charged the lower price.

Your Inbox has always been for tasks, things you'll actually do later. But not everything you capture is a task. Articles to read, links to revisit, ideas to keep. Until now, they all had to live as tasks, cluttering your list and blurring that sense of completion.

Meet Notes, a new tab in your Inbox for things you want to keep, not do. Save notes and links to Notes, and when you're ready to sit down with one, drag it onto the calendar. It becomes a task with its own time block. You can also convert any task into a note and back with a right click or from the detail menu, keeping the title, Space, links, and notes intact.

Capturing got easier too. Press Option + Space (Ctrl + Space on Windows) from any screen, even outside Arch, to quickly jot something down. The capture window now has a Notes tab, stays open when it loses focus, can be dragged anywhere on your screen, and automatically attaches the URL of the page you're looking at.

Other Improvements

• Multi-select: Select multiple blocks at once in Inbox, Today, and Notes. Time-block them together, reorder, delete, or apply right-click actions like done, priority, and Space to all of them in one go.

• Haptic on Mac: Dragging, creating, and resizing blocks now comes with a subtle trackpad response on macOS. You can turn it on or off in Settings → Preference.

Mobile

• Notes on mobile: The new Notes tab is on mobile too. Save notes and links on the go, and convert them to tasks whenever you're ready.

• Monthly Widget: A new large widget shows your month at a glance, right on your home screen.

• Lock Screen Widget: Check your schedule without even unlocking your phone.

• Space management: Create, edit, and delete Spaces directly in the app.

• Faster performance: We fixed an issue where recurring blocks slowed down the first load. The app now opens and runs noticeably faster.

You've been planning your days in Arch Calendar. But how do you actually spend your time — across a whole year?

Analytics now opens to a Summary tab that answers exactly that. At a glance, you'll see your Total Time planned, Total Count of scheduled blocks, and Task Completion rate for the year. And below that, a Streak graph shows every day of the year as a colored tile: the more you planned, the brighter it glows.

AI can automate your work, but it can't make your day feel well spent. In the end, what matters is working with ownership of your time. Today Zero is a small ritual for exactly that: the moment you complete everything you planned for today, Arch Calendar celebrates the end of your day with a single photo.

You'll also see how your day added up: the total time you planned, and where it went. Add more tasks and finish those too, and the celebration comes back.

Other Improvements

• Break - The third block type for time that doesn't need a "done." Log lunch, a walk, or a nap without forcing it into a task. Breaks count toward Analytics, so you can finally see the balance between work and rest.

  

• Complete All Overdue Tasks at Once — Overdue tasks have a way of piling up, and checking them off one by one takes time. Now you can mark them all complete in a single action — a quick way to reset and move on.

• Accurate Start Times from Notifications — When a block is due, a desktop notification lets you start it with one click. Now the moment you click Start or Complete becomes the block's start time, with the end time shifting to match — so your calendar reflects when you actually began, not just when it was planned.

For a long time, Arch Calendar's desktop app was Mac-only. That changes today — Arch Calendar is now available as a native desktop app on Windows.

Everything you'd expect from the desktop app is here: Quick Capture (Ctrl + Space), native menus, and the always-on feel of a real desktop app. Just download it from our website and pick up exactly where you left off.

Other Improvements

• Duplicate & Move with Option(Alt) + Drag — Copying a block to another time slot used to mean duplicating first, then dragging. Now, just hold Option(Alt) while dragging any calendar block — it duplicates and moves in one motion, and the new block opens for editing right away.

• Recurring events, Guests, and Notes — now editable on mobile — Until now, recurring events, guests, and notes were read-only on the mobile app — to edit them, you had to switch to desktop or web. No more. Set up recurring schedules, add or remove guests, and write notes directly from your phone.

You don't always have Arch Calendar open. Maybe your phone is in your pocket, or you're tied up in another app. Either way, your next deadline shouldn't catch you off guard.

This update brings two ways to stay on top of your day from your mobile — home screen widgets and start & end notifications.

Two new Upcoming widgets show what's next on your calendar at a glance, no taps required. They're not just for looking, either. Tap any task to mark it complete, or hit the + button to add a new task on the fly.

Notifications now ping you exactly when work starts and ends. You'll get a heads-up before a task or event begins, and another before it wraps. Completed tasks won't bother you. From Settings → Notifications, you can choose how far in advance you want each reminder and toggle notification sounds on or off.

Other Improvements

• Reorder tasks in Inbox — You can now drag tasks in the Inbox to set your own order. Plan your day in the priority that actually makes sense to you.

• Faster mobile experience — We've optimized the mobile app's performance under the hood. Everything from launching the app to scrolling your calendar feels noticeably snappier.

Every time you created a block in Inbox or Calendar, you had to pick a Space. If you always reach for the same one, that's a lot of unnecessary clicks.

Now, set a Primary Space and every new block you create in Inbox or Calendar is automatically assigned to it. Just right-click any Space in the sidebar and click Set as primary — that's all it takes.

Other Improvements

• All-Day Area: Expand & Collapse — When you have 3 or more all-day blocks on a single day, a toggle button appears. Collapsed shows up to 2 rows (with a "+more" count); expanded shows all blocks at a glance.

• 5-Minute Time Intervals — The calendar now snaps in 5-minute increments instead of 15. You can also type the time directly into the input field for more precise scheduling.

• Calendar View Filter — A new filter panel lets you individually toggle Show weekends, Show declined events, and Show completed tasks. You can also set visible hours to hide time slots you don't need, or zoom the time grid in and out to your preferred density.

• Calendar-Only View — A new view mode that hides the Inbox panel and shows just the Calendar — perfect for when you want to focus on your schedule.
