Radial hour heatmap
A week of hours around a clock.
Definition · Updated Nov 2, 2026
A radial hour heatmap wraps the hours of the day around a circle with one ring per weekday, shaded by volume, so daily and weekly rhythm show in one round shape. Use it for deliveries, orders or traffic by hour and day.
Pay once. Every update included.

hello@usechartory.comHours run around the circle (00, 06, 12, 18) and weekdays run from the inside out, starting with Monday inside.
The peak slot, the quietest slot and the weekend's share of volume.
One data object in the sample’s shape: a value per weekday and hour. The docs page lists every field and links its JSON Schema; the sample data comes with the component, so you can start from it and swap in your own.
Series take the preset’s data colours in order, and states such as up, down or warning take its status colours. Change the preset in Figma or in code to recolour every chart at once.
XS, S, M and L, in light and dark. Each size is laid out again from the data, so text and lines keep their size.
Yes. It plays in when it scrolls into view, and when the data changes every mark moves from its old place to its new one. With reduced motion on, it does not move.
Yes. The React component is free in the public registry in Hearth, no token needed; Signal comes with Code and Complete. The Figma component comes with Figma and Complete.
Ask for it by name. The MCP server tells the agent what data it needs and runs the same command: npx shadcn add @chartory/radial-hour-heatmap. You review the diff.
