FAQ
How can I adjust my calendar start day?
Currently, the day on which a week begins in the calendar view isn’t customizable from within the app’s settings.
For the iOS, Mac, and Android apps, the calendar start day will align with your device’s locale settings. On these apps, you can set your device language to one that designates Monday as the start of the week, such as English UK, to achieve the desired start day.
For the web app, there is no way to adjust the start day. It will always be Sunday.
How can I adjust the image for a day?
If your entry has several images in it, you can choose which one shows on the calendar on Mac by right-clicking an image and clicking Favorite. The same can be done on iOS by long-pressing on an image in an entry to then tap Favorite. Android will use the first image added to an entry, and does not have the Favorite feature that can be used to adjust the image for a day in the Calendar view.
