Weeklender

Plan your week.

Weeklender is a Mac app for writing your week in Markdown while keeping Calendar and Reminders in view. Each day gets its own file (yyyy-MM-dd.md). You choose where files live, including iCloud Drive or Dropbox, so your notes stay portable and easy to back up. A scratch file holds notes until you move them to a day.

It suits journaling, weekly reviews, and notes that mix bullets with times and appointments. It is not meant to replace a full calendar suite or a heavyweight task system.

Three views

• Daily (⌘1): focus on one date.
• Weekly (⌘2): see the whole week.
• Scratch (⌘3): an inbox for snippets before you file them.

Sidebar and calendar

The sidebar shows the week (and optionally a month calendar in preferences). Events and reminders come from Apple's apps, filtered by the lists you choose.

Times in text

Type times such as @3pm or @15:30. With Calendar sync on, Weeklender can create matching events on a calendar named Weeklender (about one week past through one month ahead).

Markdown

Supports ordinary bullets and task checkboxes (- [ ] / - [x]).

Quick add

Use the toolbar or ⌘⇧N to parse plain language (for example Lunch tomorrow at 12pm) into calendar events or reminders.

Light calculations and timers

Lines can assign values and simple sums; timer rows can run a stopwatch or countdown, with an optional menu bar readout.

Focus mode

⌃⌘F hides extra chrome so you can concentrate on writing.

Dock and menu bar

Optional Dock icon with date, badge counts for today's tasks and reminders, and a menu bar peek at upcoming items.

Themes and typography

Several editor themes and fonts; adjustable sizes.

Backups

The app keeps local snapshots so you can recover recent versions if something is deleted by mistake. You can clear old backups in Preferences → Storage.
