The Calendar view in My Time shows your time entries in a weekly layout, making it easy to see how your time is distributed across the week.
To access it, go to Time > My Time and select Calendar from the view options in the top right.
Adding a Time Entry
Click any time slot in the calendar to open a new time entry. Select the project, budget or deal, and service, enter the duration, and add a note if needed.
📌 Time in Productive is always tracked against a service in a budget or a deal. Make sure you select the right one before saving.
You can also add entries using time-tracking suggestions in the left panel — choose from pinned services, scheduled services, recently tracked services, or events from your connected calendar.
📌 If a service is already pinned, it won't appear in Scheduled or Recent to avoid duplication. Calendar events appear in a separate section and are not affected by pinning rules.
Time Entry Layout
The Calendar view is split into two sections:
Top section — entries without a defined time of day.
Bottom section — entries with specific start and end times, shown as blocks on the calendar grid.
📌 If a timer has been started and stopped multiple times on a single entry, that entry appears in the top section because it has multiple time ranges. You can drag it down into the calendar grid once you're done.
Managing Time Entries
Click any time entry block to open its details, where you can edit, duplicate, view timer logs, or delete it.
You can also adjust entries directly on the calendar:
Resize — drag the top or bottom edge of a block to change its duration.
Move — drag the center of a block to a different time slot or day.
📌 Entry blocks are colored based on your Color entries by setting: project colors, budget colors, or no color.
Additional Options
Work log
Selecting the Work log opens a sidebar window with an overview of all your activities for the selected period logged in Productive.
This shortcut can be very useful if you need a reminder of all your activities, helping you make time entries smoother.
Customizing the Calendar View
Select the gear icon (⚙️) in the top right to customize your calendar view:
Hide weekends: removes Saturday and Sunday from the view.
Include Absence in Total: adds any time-off bookings to the day's total hours.
Color entries by: choose how time entry blocks are colored: Project colors, Budget colors, or No color.
Show calendar events: shows or hides events from your connected Google or Outlook calendar. Only visible if you have a calendar integration active.

Calendar Integration
If you have a Google or Outlook calendar connected, your events appear in the Calendar view alongside your time entries.
You can convert events into time entries directly from the calendar.
