Calendar YTD:
the year at a glance.

Every day this year on one grid. How to spot streaks, dead patches, and the week you took off.

12 months, 365 cells. A heat-grid of every day of the current year. Each cell is one date, coloured by gross revenue (or EBIT — toggle at the top).

The calendar YTD view collapses your whole year into one screen. It's the most useful big-picture view in nouz — patterns that take weeks to feel in the day-to-day jump out at a glance.

01 How is the calendar grid laid out?

The calendar YTD is a heat-grid of twelve rows (one per month) by 31 columns (one per day), so the whole year fits on one screen. Days that haven't happened yet show as blank outlines. Days you logged appear as coloured cells, shaded by gross revenue or EBIT, while days you were closed are drawn as dashed cells.

02 What do the cell colours mean?

  • Dark green — your top revenue days. The 90th-percentile and above.
  • Lighter greens — average to above-average days.
  • Light grey — below-average revenue (still open).
  • Dashed outline — closed or not yet logged.

The toggle at the top switches the colour mapping between gross revenue (default) and EBIT. EBIT view is useful for spotting days that were busy but didn't actually pay.

03 What should I look for in the grid?

  • Streaks of dark green — your peak season. Helpful for planning the same period next year.
  • Light or dashed patches — slow weeks, holiday closures, periods worth investigating.
  • Day-of-week stripes — vertical bands of similar colour across months indicate stable weekly patterns.

04 Can I compare year over year?

A future enhancement (not in v1 today) is overlaying last year's grid. For now, the calendar is current-year only. If you want year-over-year context, the monthly P&L export from the P&L tab is the better tool — you can compare August 2026 against August 2025 by exporting both.
