A desktop-first, local-first spatial calendar where time is an infinite canvas. Zoom out and the desk is an annual planner; move closer and it becomes a month, a week, and finally a day that behaves like a notebook page. Events share the paper with sticky notes, handwriting, images, tasks, and highlights.
No account. No cloud. Your desk lives on your machine.
The workspace is one continuous, GPU-rendered world (PixiJS 8): every month of every year has a fixed place on the desk, zooming changes the level of detail, and navigating time is just panning. The Deskbound design supplies every color, type role, and control.
- Infinite spatial canvas — pan (space-drag, wheel, or the Pan tool) and zoom (Ctrl/⌘ + wheel around the cursor) from a whole year down to a single day; the Day/Week/Month/Year control applies zoom presets onto the same world.
- Progressive detail — year tier shows month structure and density dots; month tier shows numerals, event chips, tasks, ranges, handwriting, and photos; week/day tiers add metadata lines.
- Real month navigation — any month of any year, with the date navigator following the viewport focus; Today, search, and palette jumps center and flash the target day.
- A lived-in month — events (timed, all-day, tentative, recurring, completed), tasks, multi-day ranges, handwriting, and taped photos on a September 2026 sample desk.
- Desk objects — sticky notes (with checklists), images, file attachments, and freeform text: drag to move, southeast handle to resize, arrow keys to nudge, Delete to remove, double-click to edit (DOM editor over the canvas), double-click empty paper to write.
- Universal undo/redo — every mutation is a command; a drag or resize commits exactly one history entry (⌘Z / ⇧⌘Z).
- Selection & inspector — hit-testing runs through a spatial index; the contextual inspector edits paper color, geometry, event schedule, and image captions.
- Search & command palette — search events, notes, handwriting, and files; ⌘K opens the palette.
- Light & dark themes — the PixiJS scene reads its palette from the Deskbound CSS tokens, so both themes stay single-sourced.

The full decision record lives in docs/Infinite-Desk-Calendar-Architecture-Decisions.md. The short version:
| Layer | Choice |
|---|---|
| Application UI | Angular 22 (signals, zoneless) |
| Spatial renderer | PixiJS 8 (packages/canvas — layered scene, month culling, spatial index; design record in docs/design-canvas-renderer.md) |
| Desktop shell | Tauri 2 (upcoming) |
| Local data | SQLite + filesystem attachments (upcoming) |
| Design system | Deskbound (packages/deskbound) |
| Tests | Vitest + Playwright (later) |

Two rules keep the codebase honest: Angular owns chrome, the canvas owns spatial content, and every persistent mutation is an undoable command — pointer handlers never write state directly.
Requires Node ≥ 20 and pnpm (corepack enable pnpm).
pnpm install
pnpm dev # serve the app at http://localhost:4200
pnpm build # production build
pnpm test # package tests (Vitest) + app testsTry it: press N for a sticky note, drag it somewhere better, double-click it to
rewrite it, then Ctrl+Z your way back.
See ROADMAP.md — next up are the Tauri shell and SQLite persistence (milestone 3), then editing depth: recurrence, handwriting, and attachment import.
