Plan your ideal work day with visual time blocks. Paint deep work, shallow work, meetings, and breaks across 30-minute blocks. See your Maker Score and export to .ics calendar file.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Maker Score?
The Maker Score measures the percentage of your day spent in deep work blocks of 2+ consecutive hours. Research shows that uninterrupted deep work blocks are essential for complex creative and technical tasks. A higher Maker Score means more focused, productive time.
How does the .ics export work?
The export creates a standard .ics calendar file that can be imported into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, and most other calendar apps. Consecutive blocks of the same type are merged into single events.
What are the day templates?
Three templates are included: Maker Schedule (6 hours deep work in two long blocks), Manager Schedule (mix of meetings, shallow work, and shorter deep work periods), and Blank Day (start from scratch).
What is the difference between deep work and shallow work?
Deep work requires sustained focus and produces high-value output — coding, writing, design, strategy. Shallow work includes email, admin tasks, and quick responses. Both are necessary, but protecting deep work time is critical for productivity.
