Calendar connection

Connect Google Calendar or Microsoft Calendar, and your events appear on Mind Your Now's Calendar beside your scheduled tasks. Auto-scheduled tasks are placed around your events, and Kaia can plan around your day.

Connect a calendar​

  1. Go to Settings → Account.
  2. Under Calendars, click Connect Google Calendar or Connect Microsoft Calendar.
  3. Sign in to your account and allow access.

You can connect more than one account. To disconnect one, click Delete beside it.

Choose which calendars to use​

Click an account to see its calendars. Turn on Sync for each calendar you want: its events show on your Calendar, and your tasks are kept out of their time. Calendars with Sync off are hidden and ignored. Holiday and contacts calendars can't be synced.

For each account you can also:

  • Set Primary: make it your main account.
  • Refresh Calendars: look for calendars you've added since you connected.

If Mind Your Now loses access to a calendar, a note says so; click Reconnect to bring its events back.

The Calendar​

Open Calendar from the left-hand rail or the tab bar.

  • On a computer, switch between month, week, day, 3-day and list views. Your task list, the same zones as Now, sits beside the calendar: drag a task onto the calendar to give it a time, and drag a task's block to move it. Click an empty time, or drag across several, to create a task in that slot.
  • On a phone, use the day view or the list view.

On a computer, click an event to see its details, notes and attendees. From there you can set Your response to Going or Maybe, Link to Existing Task, or Create Task from Event.

On a computer, Filters in the calendar's toolbar chooses what the calendar shows, and Run the scheduler now places your auto-scheduled tasks again. To set when a task may be placed, see Schedules.

Calendar settings​

Go to Settings → Calendar:

  • What the calendar shows: Show completed, Locked only and Actionable only. The calendar's Filters menu changes these too.
  • Finished events: Hide finished events (and Hide after), Completion badges to mark finished events with a small check, and Dim finished events.

Shared tasks​

Tasks shared in your household can go on a calendar your family already shares. See Notifications and Task sharing.
