Changelogs

Follow new updates and improvements to archcalendar.

Search & Calendar Multi-select

You know it's in Arch somewhere. The dentist appointment you booked last month, the article you saved to Notes, the task you pushed to "someday." Until now, finding it meant scrolling back through weeks of calendar or digging through your Inbox. Now you can just search for it.

Search everything, from anywhere

Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) or click the new search button in the bottom bar, and start typing. Arch looks through the titles and notes of your tasks, events, and notes as you type, and shows each result with its date and Space. Pick one and Arch takes you straight there: scheduled blocks open right on your calendar, and everything else opens in its detail view.

Before you type anything, Recently Viewed brings back the blocks you opened last, along with shortcuts to jump to other views.

Move a whole afternoon at once

A meeting runs over, and now the rest of your afternoon needs to shift. Until now, that meant dragging each block one by one. With calendar multi-select, they move together.

Hold Shift (or ⌘/Ctrl) and click the blocks you want. Mix tasks, events, and breaks, even across different days. Then drag any one of them: everything moves together, and the time between blocks stays exactly as it was. You can also:

  • Press Delete to remove them all at once

  • Right-click to change the Space, priority, or done status of every selected block

  • Drag selected tasks into your Inbox to unschedule them

Changed your mind? One Undo (⌘Z / Ctrl+Z) puts everything back where it was. For recurring blocks, changes apply only to the occurrence you selected.

Other Improvements

  • Faster loading for big calendars — If your calendar holds years of imported history, it now opens noticeably faster.

  • Space picker in Inbox — When you type # to pick a Space, keep typing to filter the list, then press Enter to choose the highlighted one.

  • Keep typing when you switch types — Switching between Task, Event, and Break in the detail view keeps your cursor in the title.

Arch Calendar is now available on iPad.

Your iPad lives somewhere between your desk and your pocket. It’s big enough to lay out a whole week, and light enough to grab the moment an idea comes to you. Until now, Arch Calendar had no version made for that screen. Starting today, it has one.

The best of desktop, the ease of mobile

We wanted the iPad app to have both: the full experience of our desktop app and the ease of our mobile app. The quick way to build an iPad app is to stretch the phone app onto a bigger screen, but that only gets you half. So we modeled the iPad app on our desktop app. Your Inbox and Calendar sit side by side with room to see your week, and any task can be dragged straight into the time you want to give it.

And the ease of mobile is still there. There’s no laptop to open and no desk to sit at. Pick it up on the couch or between meetings, shape your day with a few taps and drags, and set it down again.

Web, desktop, mobile, and now iPad

Arch Calendar now runs on every platform: in your browser, on Mac and Windows, on iPhone and Android, and on iPad. Everything stays in sync, so the week you sketch on your iPad carries over to your laptop, and a task you add on your phone shows up everywhere else.

Download Arch Calendar from the App Store on your iPad and sign in. Everything you’ve planned is already there.

Server Infrastructure Migration Complete: Please Reinstall the Desktop App

Our server infrastructure migration is complete. If you use the desktop app, please read to the end.

To make Arch Calendar more stable and faster, we've moved it to new server infrastructure, and that work is now complete. Thank you for your patience during the maintenance.

If you use the desktop app, please delete it and install it again

First, we're sorry for the trouble. We made a mistake during this migration, and because of it, the desktop app currently on your computer can't switch over to the new servers on its own.

We know it's a hassle, but to keep using Arch Calendar on desktop, please delete the app and download it again from https://www.archcalendar.com/download.

  1. Quit Arch Calendar and delete it. On Mac, move it from Applications to the Trash. On Windows, uninstall it from Settings > Apps.

  2. Download the latest version from https://www.archcalendar.com/download.

  3. Install it and log in with the same account you've been using.

Deleting the app doesn't delete your data. Your tasks, events, and notes are stored in your account, and they'll be right there when you log back in.

We're sorry again for asking you to take a step you shouldn't have had to. We'll be more careful with future updates so this doesn't happen again. Thank you for your understanding.

On the web and on mobile, the migration has been completed without any issues, so you can keep using Arch Calendar just as you always have.

Thank you.
