Moving, protecting, and checking things off

Dragging blocks, the long-press menu, what protection means, and which categories a twist can move.

Moving something

Press and drag a block. It snaps to five minute steps, a terracotta time badge follows your finger so you can see where it will land, and the timeline scrolls on its own if you drag past the edge. Your phone gives a small tap when it lands.

Drag a calendar appointment and it will not move. You get a short buzz instead, because plottwist does not change your calendar.

Checking something off

Tap the circle on the left of a block. That is also the moment its drops are spent: planning a heavy day does not empty your Cup, finishing it does.

Completing a Me time task does the opposite and puts a drop back in your Cup, whatever its energy setting says.

Protecting something

Long-press a block and choose Protect, or use the switch in the Edit task sheet. A protected task will not be moved by a Plot Twist. Anything that came in from your calendar arrives protected already.

What a category protects, even without the switch

  • Locked. Work, anything protected, anything already done, and anything from your calendar. A twist will not touch these.
  • Anchors. Kids, Meal, and Routine. A twist works around them rather than pushing them off the day.
  • Flexible. Errand, Admin, Me time, Fitness, and Event. These are what a twist offers to move.

Work is the only category that renders as one plain grey block. That is deliberate: the job gets one bar, and the rest of the day is yours.

Sending something to another day

Long-press a block and choose Move to Another Day, or use the same button in the Edit task sheet. It goes to the Shelf, where nothing is late.
