Calendula — Roadmap

v0.x — Pre-Release

Version	Milestone	Status
v0.1	Foundation & CI	complete
v0.2	Data Layer & Permission Flow	complete
v0.3	Month + Week + Day views, view switcher	complete
v0.4	Event Detail (S4) + humanized recurrence	complete
v0.5	Calendar filter (M3) + Settings (M4)	complete
v0.6	Full event read — surface every readable field	complete
v1.0	First public release — polish pass, F-Droid	complete

Delivery ran ahead of the original table: Day view (S3) shipped in v0.3 and Event Detail (S4) in v0.4, so the Filter/Settings milestone became v0.5.

Jump-to-date (the date-picker half of M2) was cut from scope and will not ship. The "Today" half of M2 already shipped in v0.5 (drawer entry).

v0.6 — Full event read

Round out the read-only model so a detail view shows everything the system actually stores, before write support starts. Scope = CalendarContract columns we don't yet read/display:

• Reminders (VALARM) — read CalendarContract.Reminders, list lead times
• Status — Confirmed / Tentative / Cancelled (cancelled shown struck-through)
• Availability (TRANSP) — Free / Busy chip
• Attendee extras — role (required / optional / organizer) + the user's own SELF_ATTENDEE_STATUS
• Timezone (EVENT_TIMEZONE) — shown only when it differs from the device zone
• URL — tappable link card cut: CalendarContract exposes no Events.URL column (only CUSTOM_APP_URI, an originating-app deep-link). URLs are instead surfaced by linkifying the description text
• Access level / class (private / confidential) — small chip (optional, trivial)

All of the above shipped in v0.6.0 (2026-06-11).

Deliberately out of v0.6:

• Recurrence exception / modified-occurrence badges — Instances already resolves correct per-occurrence times for display; this only matters for editing, so it folds into v2
• CATEGORIES, ATTACH — not reliably exposed by CalendarContract (provider limitation, not our choice)

v1.0 — First Public Release — shipped 2026-06-11

All V1 features shipped, polished, on F-Droid. Read-only calendar. Cut directly after v0.6 (full event read) plus the onboarding-screen polish pass.

Polish backlog (pre-1.0)

• Redesign the initial grant-access (permission) screen — done (Material 3 Expressive onboarding, shipped in v0.6.0 / v1.0.0)

v2.0 — Write Support (complete, shipped 2026-06-11)

Delivered in four releasable slices (plan: docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-11-03-write-support.md). The V1 spec is a guide here, not a contract — scope per slice is decided as we go.

Version	Milestone	Status
v1.1	Write foundation — WRITE_CALENDAR, read-only-calendar detection, delete (series + single occurrence)	complete (shipped 2026-06-11)
v1.2	Create event — form, FAB, last-used-calendar preselect	complete (shipped 2026-06-11)
v1.2.1	Form polish after on-device review — card design system, optional fields + settings defaults, OptionCard dialogs, expressive motion	complete (shipped 2026-06-11)
v1.3	Edit event — shared form, scoped recurring writes (this / following / all), recurrence picker	complete (shipped 2026-06-11)
v1.4	Reminder notifications — see below	complete (shipped 2026-06-11)
v2.0	Conflict dialog, polish pass (store copy refresh, F-Droid screenshots), release	complete (shipped 2026-06-11)

v2.0 scope was re-cut on 2026-06-11, after v1.4:

• Occurrence edit already shipped early, in v1.3.
• Quick-add is cut from scope: the full form already opens prefilled (visible day, last-used calendar, optional fields hidden), so the sheet would only save one screen transition while adding a second create-surface to maintain. Revisit only if real-world feedback says creation feels heavy.
• Calendar switching while editing moves to the v3 backlog (sync-adapter minefield: CALENDAR_ID is sync-adapter-owned, AOSP locks the field; an honest implementation is copy+delete like Google Calendar, with sync-identity and attendee side effects).
• Conflict dialog stays (plan 03, decision 5): on save, compare against the row as it was when the form loaded; on external change, ask overwrite / discard. Closes the silent-clobber gap on synced calendars.

v1.4 — Reminder Notifications

Essential, not nice-to-have: Calendula targets users for whom it is their only calendar app, so reminder delivery can't be delegated to Google/OEM Calendar. The calendar provider schedules reminders and broadcasts android.intent.action.EVENT_REMINDER, but it does not post the visible notification — a calendar app must. We become that app (the Etar model).

Scope:

• Manifest-registered BroadcastReceiver for EVENT_REMINDER (data scheme content://com.android.calendar) — wakes us at reminder time, no foreground service.
• Read CalendarContract.CalendarAlerts / Reminders, filter to METHOD_ALERT / METHOD_DEFAULT (skip METHOD_EMAIL); post on a dedicated notification channel; tap opens event detail.
• POST_NOTIFICATIONS runtime permission (API 33+) — requested in onboarding.
• Onboarding step: (a) request POST_NOTIFICATIONS, (b) in-app reminders toggle, default ON, with copy warning that a second calendar app with notifications on will cause duplicate reminders. Mirrored into Settings (reversible).

Deliberately deferred (add only if needed):

• Snooze / dismiss notification actions (Etar has them)
• Battery-optimization exemption prompt for delivery reliability

v3.0 — Power-User Features

• Home-screen widget
• Full-text search
• Tablet / foldable layouts
• Optional: ICS file import (drag-and-drop)
• Optional: move event to another calendar (copy+delete model with a consequences warning — deferred from v2.0, see above)

Order is indicative — community feedback after V1 may re-prioritize.
