Meet Kash, the fluffball who lives on your free days
While we were building KashCal, a small teal dot kept turning up on empty days. We didn't think much of it the first time. It came back the next week, and the week after that, and before long we were clearing our schedules just to see it. Free weekends made it rounder, and cancelled meetings made it rounder still. By 2026 it had ear tufts, a belly shaped like a calendar card, and strong opinions about naps.
It arrived properly on Halloween night, which helped: everyone thought it was a costume. With KashCal 2026.11.01 it moves onto your phone. Its name is Kash.

Where to find Kash
- The Month view. Tap a day with nothing on it, and Kash is there under the calendar.
- First launch. The screen that asks where your calendars are now has Kash on it, settling in and waving hello once.
- About. Tap your avatar, then About, and Kash is holding an armful of calendars.
Five lines, five poses
An empty day in the Month view has always come with a line of encouragement. There are five of them, and now each one has its own Kash.
A date always keeps the same line and pose, and the days next to it get different ones, so a free week shows you all five.
Kash knows its place
A mascot shouldn't get in the way of a calendar, so Kash follows a few rules:
- The line comes first. KashCal places the day's line, then gives Kash whatever room is left. On a short screen Kash gets smaller, and when there isn't room it stays out of the way.
- It's quiet for screen readers. Kash is decoration, so TalkBack reads the line and skips the fluff.
- It has a dark coat. In a dark theme Kash's fur is lighter, so it doesn't vanish into the background. It follows the theme you chose in KashCal, not your phone's.
- It keeps to itself, like the rest of KashCal. No account, no followers, and your plans stay between the two of you.
