Say it once. Skip the form. It's fantastic.

An event starts as a sentence. "Dentist next Thursday at ten." "Standup every weekday at nine." "Rent, last day of the month." You already have the whole thing in your head, in order, done.

Then most calendar apps make you take it apart. Title in this box. Tap the date field. Spin a time wheel. Open a second screen labeled "Repeat" and hunt for the right radio button. You arrive knowing exactly what you meant and leave having filled out a form about it. KashCal's Quick Add just reads the sentence.

Type it the way you'd say it​

Open Quick Add and type one line. KashCal pulls the pieces out as you go and shows a live preview, so you watch it get things right before you save:

  • Dates, however you phrase them: tomorrow, next Friday, March 15, 3/15/2027.
  • Times, exact or spoken: 3pm, half past 3, 2pm to 4pm, or just morning.
  • Location after the word at: Lunch at Olive Garden files the place, not the title.
  • Tags with #: Deep work #focus keeps the tag and drops the rest into the event.

Nothing to tap through. The sentence is the form.

The repeats that used to need a dialog​

Recurring events are where "just fill out the form" gets especially tedious, so this is where typing pays off most. KashCal now understands the awkward ones:

  • every weekday, every 2 weeks, monthly until December
  • 2nd Tuesday of the month for the meeting that never lands on the same date
  • last Thursday of the month, the one your old calendar could not express without a calendar of its own
  • last day of the month for rent, whether that month ends on the 30th, the 31st, or a nervous 28th

Say it plainly and KashCal sets the repeat. No radio buttons were harmed.

A place for the part that isn't scheduling​

Sometimes the event carries a thought that is not a time or a place. Add it after a space and //, and everything past it becomes the note:

Call plumber tomorrow 3pm // ask about the leak under the sink

KashCal only reads the part before the // for the schedule, so words in your note never quietly move the event. Paste a link like https://... and it stays put, because the space before // is what marks the note.

It looks and works, well, fantastic​

Typing your events instead of tapping through pickers is the trick a certain famous iPhone calendar showed off for years, and Android users have asked for it for about as long. KashCal does it, on Android, for free, with no account and nothing leaving your phone. Type a sentence, watch the preview, save. That is the whole feature, and it feels a little bit magic every time.

Say it once. We got it.
