longbook

The calendar and bookmarks

The calendar

The Calendar shows every payment on its day, twelve months back and twelve ahead.

  • Each day with a payment shows how many, with up to three dots in category colours.
  • A transfer, such as a card bill, has its own mark and isn't counted.
  • Step by month with the arrows or a swipe. Today returns to the current month.
  • Tap a day to list its payments and transfers with their amounts. Each has Mark Paid from today on. Show in Commitments opens the full list for that day.

The calendar is drawn inside longbook. Nothing is written to Apple Calendar or Google Calendar, and money in is not shown on it.

Bookmarks

A bookmark saves a commitment to one short list, so the ones you check most stay together.

  • Swipe right on a row on iPhone, or right-click on Mac, and choose Bookmark.
  • Bookmarks opens the list. It is in Settings on iPhone, and is the bookmark icon at the foot of the Mac sidebar.
  • Bookmarked Only in the Commitments filters narrows the list to them.

A bookmark changes nothing about a commitment. It is a display setting saved in the longbook folder, so it shows on iPhone and Mac when both open the same folder. Your AI can't see bookmarks.

Questions

Does longbook remind me before a payment?

Yes. The next payment stays in view on the iPhone widget and in the Mac menu bar.
