2013
Simplified the look and improved the calendar sidebar. It even scrolls more fluently. The new fixed header at the top displays the topmost month and weekdays. And as an extra tip, you can click that header to scroll back to the current month.
Added a setting to change the start of the week to Sunday, Saturday or any other day you prefer. I suggest Wednesday — then you’ve got a weekend in the middle of the week. :-)
Improved a large part of Monday’s user interface internals for more robustness and future flexibility.
Further simplified Monday’s visual look and improved the look and feel on the iPad.
Fixed a small visual issue with buttons that only affected the latest Chrome browser version.
Monday no longer automatically capitalizes the activity title.
You can now change your email address in Monday’s settings.
Stef Gonzaga over at Web.AppStorm reviewed Monday and wrote a very nice piece titled “Monday: The Clean and Elegant Calendar To Start Your Week Right”. She even gave Monday 9/10 points. :-)
View Settings
Everybody's got their own way to work — some want the details, some the broad
picture. Now you can tweak each of Monday's calendar views to your liking,
hiding or showing activities, birthdays and social events.

Set up each of Monday’s calendar views to your liking now with view settings. That also gives you the ability to see all activities on the month view — you’re no longer limited to just those with times. Read the article for more info.
Fixed an issue where very rapid completing and uncompleting of a single activity failed to save the last state. Ironically the problem was precisely in the part of the code that was meant to handle such rapid changes. :-)
Fixed a minor visual glitch on the month view and another minor issue with going back to the month view from the week view.
You can now add durations to timed activities by just appending the end time with a dash: “1pm-3pm Meet Alice”.
New improved and simpler look for the month and week view that brings out your activities much better. Less borders, boxes and other unnecessary visual elements to distract. Check it out.
Monday’s server had an hardware issue around 9am UTC today and was unavailable for 30 minutes. So sorry! Your data was safe the whole time, but I’m still looking into how to better protect Monday from availability issues in the future.
Very quick key combinations to finish activity editing are handled more
robustly. For a while, pressing Return or Escape within 100ms after typing
the last letter caused it to be missed. Now it’s rock solid!
Automatically positioning an activity by time now waits until after you’ve finished editing that activity. In some rare cases it interfered with typing before.
Clicking on today’s date in the month view now always opens the matching day in week view.
Disconnecting from Facebook or Google now instantly removes the activities and events from view. Previously in some cases you had to refresh the browser before the activities from the disconnected service disappeared.
You can now set durations to activities and change those set via Google Calendar. That includes setting activities to last all-day, many days or even weeks.
Removing a time from an activity (thereby turning an event to a task) now properly removes it from Google Calendar.
Quick taps on activities on the iPad are now handled more robustly.
Rhys Thomas wrote a great review of Monday titled ”Not all Mondays are bad”.
Monday now handles more Google Calendar edge cases. For example, such as all-day activities being reported to last 0 days.
You can now drag and drop activities on the month view.
Monday had a moment of technical trouble related to its domain server (DNS) provider and was unavailable briefly. Sorry! Switched to hosting them ourselves so it won’t happen again!
Monday now shows timed activities and social events always based on the time zone of your computer. This makes it easier to use Monday when traveling.
Fixed a rare issue with displaying a particular weekday right around daylight savings switch date. A miscalculation even after taking a single shorter day into account. :-)
Activity details sidebar now also understands free-form time.
The datepicker is also now much more convenient to use on tablets.
Monday now loads your activities and days much faster.
Get a superb overview of many weeks at once with month view.
Monday now handles Google and Facebook syncing edge cases even better. For example, cases like locked or read-only Google events.
See events from your subscribed Google calendars in Monday below your days.
