Mini-month picker
Click the date label in the toolbar to open a 6×7 month grid. Today is highlighted, days with bookings dotted, prev/next chevrons walk months. Click any day to jump the main view.
Most date pickers in operations software have you clicking through weeks one at a time. The toolbar’s date label opens a small, opinionated month picker that lets you jump anywhere fast.
Opening it
Click the date label in the toolbar (the long-form date string, e.g. Tuesday, 5 May 2026). A 280-px popover opens below the button.
What it shows
- Header — month name + prev/next chevrons. Click a chevron to walk months without closing the popover.
- Day-of-week row — Sun/Mon/…/Sat in monospaced uppercase, starting from your week-start preference (Sun / Mon / Sat).
- 6×7 grid — every visible day for the month, padded with the prev/next month’s days at edges so the grid is always full.
Visual states
| Day type | Visual |
|---|---|
| Today (not selected) | Accent-coloured ring around the date number |
| Selected | Filled ink (dark) with white text |
| In current month | Default text colour |
| Out of current month | Muted text colour |
| Has appointments | Small accent dot under the date number |
So at a glance you can see which days this month already have bookings, distinct from the today/selected highlights.
Click → jump
Click any day in the grid → the main calendar view jumps to that date and the popover closes. If you were in Day view, the new selected date becomes the day. If in Week view, the week containing that date.
Closing without selecting
- Click outside the popover
- Press
Esc - Click the date label again (toggle)
What it isn’t
- Not a date range picker — single-date select only.
- Not a year navigator — to jump multiple years, use the chevrons (each click = 1 month). Year-jump is a planned addition.
- Not a recurring-event editor.
Keyboard
The mini-month picker doesn’t have its own keyboard nav yet.
Use T to jump to today, ← / → to step day-by-day with the
popover closed.
