Option to Show Daily Timeline to Scale
Add a layout option to show daily timeline to scale. It makes it hard for me to see how much available time I have in my day when gaps are truncated. For instance, a 30 min gap looks the same as a two hour gap. It would help me to understand my time better if I can visually see the gaps without reading the time labels between tasks. I could see more clearly if I’m over/under utilizing my time.

Growing up my mum would always set the clock forward and now my sense of time is skewed having a visual representation in scale would be a great help to me.
Leo - would you reconsider this? Thanks so much for all your hard work.

Absolutely please reconsider picking this up, it would be a wonderful feature to be able to turn off or on

Hi Dev team, Please rethink this rejected request, the current method to show the timeline is very confusing and a bit hit or miss when you really want to visualise available time slots.

This would be a game-changer for me to have this option added. My ADHD time blindness makes it very hard to estimate how much time I have between tasks.
If I could visually see a big break vs. a little break I would have a much better view of my day for planning purposes.
It is also very hard for me to conceptualize when I have multiple tasks at the same time bc they look sequential until I read the time stamps.

I know you don't want to just make another calendar app, but this would make it much easier to "visualize my day" which is currently pretty challenging

Agreed, this view would be really useful

The idea of Structured is to have a non-proportional timeline, but I could see this as an option in the future.

Aha! Because of the "visualize your day" slogan, I've been waiting for Structured to make a more proportional timeline and it just keeps not happening. It's genuinely helpful to know this is how you're thinking about it.
By the slogan, I thought you meant to help us see our time more concretely, to make it less abstract so we can more easily work with it. Like a Time Timer does.
But non-proportional timeline distorts our view of time (as does the way overlapping events are displayed, contiguous events having gaps displayed between them, etc) making it less concrete.
This is helpful to adjust my expectations for what Structured will and won't grow into.
