The Timebox
Drag tasks directly onto your calendar
In Ellie, timeboxing is the act of adding tasks onto the calendar to plan your day.

Tasks timeboxed onto the calendar
Unlike many apps that support timeboxing, Ellie doesn't require you to connect your actual calendar to use it.
So if you are someone who just wants to timebox, but don't want tasks to appear in your Google/Outlook/Apple calendar, Ellie is perfect.
However, for those that do want tasks to appear in their Google calendar, we do offer a Google calendar integration. You can learn more about it here 👇
For Apple calendar users, we allow you to overlay Apple calendar events on the iPhone/iPad app (web/Mac coming soon). You can learn more about it here 👇
Outlook/Office 365 support is coming in the future, if you would like to see this come sooner and get updates, please upvote this feedback item 👀
If you want to display multiple calendars on your timebox, you can do so by clicking the calendar icon in the bottom right of the timebox.
You can toggle calendars on/off by clicking the name directly

Calendar toggle in the Ellie timebox
If you prefer to view your entire week at once in the Timebox, you can switch to "Calendar" view which makes the Timebox the focus of the app rather than the Kanan. The Ellie Kanban is moved to the right side and only displays a single day.
You can drag tasks directly onto this calendar as well.

Week view in Ellie
Month view (along with a number of other views) is currently being worked on. You can upvote this feedback item to get an email update once its released
There are a few calendar settings that you can update to further customize the timebox/calendar experience in Ellie:
- 1.Change the week start day (default is Sunday, but some users prefer Monday)
- 2.Ability to hide weekends
- 3.Ability to hide declined events
- 4.Ability to change the time increment in the calendar (helpful if you need more granular increments when timeboxing)
