Just another question. In the old app, I could always pull up the calendar and quickly scroll to see if any dates were highlighted, as that signalled that there were some unconfirmed data for me to look at. It seems that the calendar in the new app doesn’t do this. Is this something on your radar, that you think might be restored in the new app eventually? I found it very helpful!
(Oh, and in the old app the calendar was a continuous scroll and so it was super easy to quickly scan through the years to catch a date where the app has unearthed some kind of unconfirmed data in the far past! The new calendar interface requires a tap to move from one month to the next, which would make it slower to scan through a large number of months, if this highlight feature comes back. A very small thing to be fair, and I have a feeling Apple has something to do with the changed design of the calendar interface!)
Yep! Definitely. It’s a popular request. I’ve got it filed for the next feature update (v1.1). Though whether it makes it into that update or not is uncertain. I’m basically dumping everything “feature” into 1.1, and everything “fix” into 1.0.2, and then the ones that make it in make it in, and the rest get bumped to 1.2 or 1.1.1.
But given this is a common ask, it’s already marked high priority, so it’s got a better chance than most.
Oh a little background: the reason why the current calendar nav widget doesn’t have the annotations is because it’s an iOS native widget that doesn’t support annotations.
iOS does have a proper calendar view that supports annotations, which I’ll be able to use for a new view that’s roughly the same as the old large one that continuously scrolled. So once this feature lands it will have that fast scanning again!
So the end result will be the current little nav widget for just plain nav, without taking over the whole screen, and then the separate full screen calendar view for the more heavy lifting, with annotations (and maybe some other niceties - I’ve got some ideas).
I decided to scan support to find out wether Calendar with Favourite days is coming to Arc 4.
I will stay on Arc 3 until that calendar comes to V4 and my Favourite days import from V3.

Replying here to your posts on both threads. An update on where things stand:
The full calendar view (BIG-19) is the single most-requested item on our whole list — your post just added to that tally — and it’s the view where favourite-day highlighting will live. Favourite days themselves are tracked as their own ticket (BIG-646), and its scope explicitly includes bringing your existing Arc Timeline 3 favourites across, not just adding the feature fresh.
No date to promise yet — but demand is what orders the feature queue, and the calendar work is at the front of it.
Meanwhile your years of favourites are completely safe. Arc Timeline 3 stores them in its own database on your phone, and they’re included in its backups too — so waiting on V3 costs you nothing on that front. The flags will be there whenever the import lands.
