Your day,
always in view.

TimeLion floats a thin timeline of today above every window on your Mac: your routine, your calendar events, and a red line for now.

This is TimeLion, on your clock. Drag across it to plan, drag a block to move it.

the problemYour day hides in Calendar, a window you have to go and open.

with TimeLionA thin line of today floats above every window, on every Space.

A red line walks it, minute by minute. The status line says what’s on and what’s next.

Time runs down instead of across, and the red line walks with it.

Questions

Which calendars does it show?

Every calendar set up in macOS Calendar: iCloud, Google, Exchange and more. TimeLion reads them through macOS and needs no account of its own.

Where is my routine kept?

In a file on your Mac, not in your calendar. Each day is kept as its own file beside it, so changing today never touches the routine.

Does it change my calendar?

Only when you do. Moving, resizing or editing an event on the bar changes it in its calendar. For a repeating event, dragging changes only that occurrence.

Will it get in my way?

It is a thin strip that fades while the pointer is away. Pick its thickness and how faint it gets, or hide it from the menu bar icon.

What do I need?

A Mac with macOS 15 or later.
