The board swapped out the tree, and the agenda and the calendar were overlays over it, each with a key to open and a key to close. They are now three tiles of one special workspace, as the desktop keeps its scratchpad: the board on the left, the agenda over the calendar on the right. S puts it up and away from anywhere. b, t and C go straight to their tile, and put the workspace away when that tile already has focus. Alt-h/j/k/l move the focus between the tiles, f gives the focused one the porthole, and the tiles without focus keep their cursors, dimmed. A digit switches space as everywhere, and the board follows; the board's head names every space that has one. Enter on an agenda card goes to it on the board beside. A space without a board says so in the board's tile instead of refusing. The rail offers the three tiles as doors, so a phone, which shows one at a time, can walk between them. The help, the README, the wiki and the screenshots say how it works now.

The diary
The space with the diary role is a journal. Each document in it is an entry, filed under the day it is about.
T(or:today) opens today's entry, and starts it when there is none.[dand]dstep to the entry before or after the one open, by date.:date 2026-10-01files the open entry under another day.:new 2026-10-01starts an entry for a day that has passed.
Days are counted in WORKSPACE_TIMEZONE, the same as the evening reminder, so
an entry written after midnight on a trip still lands on the right day.
The calendar
C (or :cal) shows the diary a month at a time, in the
special workspace under the
agenda.
| key | what it does |

h / l |

A dot marks a day with an entry. A number says how many when there are more than one.
The day template
When the diary has a templates folder with a document called day in it,
every new entry starts from it: from T, o, the calendar, or a
capture to the diary. For example:
## {{weekday}}
### What happened
### What I am thankful for
See Writing for the placeholders. The templates are not entries: they are not on the calendar and do not count as having written today.
On this day
The agenda ends with what you wrote on the
same day in earlier years. j walks into them and Enter opens one.
The reminder
With mail set up, an evening reminder arrives at WORKSPACE_REMINDER_AT
(20:00 by default) when nothing was written in the diary that day. See
Backup and mail.
