Recent updates: Notes AI, Calendar week view and other changes

At Start.me, we roll out updates several times a week. Most of them are small fixes and improvements that make things run more smoothly.

This time, we’ve focused on four areas: the Notes widget, moving widgets around your page, the Calendar, and the To-do widget.

Here’s what’s new:

Improve your Notes with AI

We’ve added a new magic wand button to the Notes widget.

Here’s how it works:

1. Select some text, or press Ctrl-A to select everything.
2. Click the wand to choose one of these options:

• Improve writing – We’ll suggest a clearer version of your selection.
• Fix spelling & grammar – We’ll correct any mistakes we find.
• Make shorter – We’ll summarize your selection.
• Make longer – We’ll expand on your text.

After you choose an option, we’ll start updating your text. This might take a few seconds, depending on the length. When it’s ready, you can Accept the changes or Undo to return to your original text.

New Widget DnD

You’ve always been able to move widgets around your page — to another column, or just up and down. You could do this from the widget menu (Move), or by clicking Organize widgets.

Now there’s a new way: Drag and Drop. Just click and hold the header of a widget to pick it up. You’ll see a live preview that helps you drop it in the right spot, without losing context.

The original methods still work too, if you prefer those.

Calendar: week view

Our Calendar widget just got a solid update. We’ve added a Week view, so you can focus on your schedule without the clutter. The Monthly and Running views are still there, of course.

You’ll also notice more color options for calendars added by URL. And if you’re using Google Calendar, we now mirror the same familiar colors you use there.

Behind the scenes, we’ve made it faster to load and fixed some bugs—especially around time zones and recurring events.

The Calendar widget is part of our PRO subscription. Want to try it out? Upgrade and take a look.

Todo widget

And finally, we’ve made a few small but helpful improvements to the To-do widget:

You can now mark all tasks as done with a single click. And once they’re done, you can remove them just as easily.

Tidying up your to-do list has never been this quick.

What’s next?

Most of these updates began as user requests. If you have ideas to make Start.me better, drop them in the comments. We’re listening!
