v1.3.3・2026-07-21

Compact Calendar — 12 Months on One Page

Features

  • Compact Calendar View: Introduced a brand new Compact Calendar layout that displays all 12 months on a single page in a dense, space-saving table. Each row represents one week, with month labels and ISO week numbers for easy reference — perfect for planners, bullet journals, and year-at-a-glance printing.
  • Printable Notes Column: Added a toggleable ruled-lines column on the right side of the compact calendar for handwritten notes, reminders, or important dates next to each week. Available via Display Options.
  • Compact Display Options: Added dedicated controls for the compact calendar, including toggles for showing holidays and ruled lines, following the same pattern as other calendar views.
  • Dedicated Compact Page: Added /compact as a dedicated calendar page with year navigation controls, breadcrumb, full SEO metadata, and structured data — matching the pattern of all other calendar views.

Improvements

  • Weekend Detection by Date: Weekend styling in the compact calendar uses actual date-based detection (Saturday/Sunday) rather than column position, ensuring correct rendering regardless of the user's week-start preference.
  • First-of-Month Highlight: The 1st day of each month in the compact calendar is subtly highlighted with a light background for quick visual scanning.

  • Geo-Based Recommendations: Added IP-based geo detection with a non-intrusive recommendation banner that suggests relevant templates (e.g., Bi-Weekly Planner for North American users, Quarterly Calendar for EU users) without forcing a switch.
  • Consistent Export Watermark: All exported PDFs and PNG images now carry a unified site footer watermark for consistent branding across every template.

Improvements

Improvements

  • Date Architecture Upgrade: Completely migrated the underlying date engine from dayjs to @internationalized/date. This ensures robust, immutable date math and eliminates edge-case timezone issues.
  • State Persistence: Migrated Pinia state management from localStorage to Cookies. This ensures that your custom settings (like fonts and layout preferences) are properly read during server-side rendering, providing a much smoother initial page load.
  • Share Modal UX: Refined the Share Calendar modal to require a manual click for generating images instead of auto-generating them, and added a quick "Copy Link" feature for easier sharing.

Improvements

  • Discoverable Tooltip: Added a cursor-following tooltip showing "Click to add a note" to help users discover the new note-taking capability.

Bug Fixes

  • Click-to-Edit Fix: Resolved a bug where clicking on a date to add notes would fail after hovering over the calendar, by properly using the disabled attribute instead of conditional rendering.
v1.2.1・2026-05-09

Perfect Printing & Export Improvements

Improvements

  • WYSIWYG Print: Replaced PDF generation with native browser print dialog, ensuring perfect fidelity between screen preview and printed output including margins, orientation, and page breaks.
  • Print Isolation: Browser extension floating buttons (e.g., translation plugins) are now automatically hidden during print to ensure clean output.
  • Font Embedding: Custom Google Fonts now correctly render in downloaded PDFs and shared images by fetching fonts as Base64 and passing them via html-to-image's fontEmbedCSS option.

Bug Fixes

  • Share Modal: Fixed null element errors when capturing calendar images by adding DOM presence validation before html-to-image processing.
  • PDF Export: Resolved left-side blank area issue in generated PDFs by explicitly passing bounding rect dimensions and style overrides to html-to-image.
