Overview
Sectograph is a unique visual time management tool that displays your day as a circular planner — like a 12- or 24-hour clock face — with calendar events mapped onto it. This innovative approach makes time blocking, time management, and developing a clearer sense of time much more intuitive.
Visual Design Philosophy
Circular Timeline
Sectograph transforms your daily schedule into a circular, clock-based view where:
- Each sector width matches the event duration (creating a true pie-chart schedule)
- You can see gaps and free time between events at a glance
- The time from "now" to the next event is immediately visible
- Events are color-coded for easy categorization
Time Blocking Made Visual
Unlike traditional linear calendars, Sectograph's circular approach helps users:
- Understand time proportions visually
- Identify scheduling conflicts quickly
- Balance their day more effectively
- Combat "time blindness" (particularly helpful for ADHD)
