Creating & editing events

KashCal new event form
The event form, with everything in one place.

When you want to set every detail yourself, the event form is where you do it. Tap the + button to create an event, or tap an existing event and choose to edit it. Everything lives on one screen, no digging through menus.

What you can set​

  • Title. As you type, KashCal can suggest titles from events you've created before (see title suggestions).
  • Location. An address, room, or meeting link. KashCal suggests places you've used before.
  • Notes. Free-form details for the event.
  • Calendar. Which calendar the event belongs to. New events go to your default calendar unless you change it.
  • Start and end. Pick the date and time, or switch on All day. The time picker's wheel steps in 5-minute increments; to set an exact minute like 3:47, tap the keyboard button and type it. Events already on an odd minute show their exact time as tappable text instead of rounding.
  • Time zone. Events use your device time zone by default, but you can set a specific one.
  • Repeat. Make the event recurring. See Recurring events.
  • Color. Give the event its own color. See Event colors.
  • Tags. Label the event with colored chips like #focus or #dentist, with suggestions from tags you've used before. See Tags.
  • Alerts. Add reminders. See Reminders.
  • Availability. Mark the event as Busy or Free, which controls whether it blocks your time for others.
  • Attendees. Invite people. See Scheduling & invitations.

Title suggestions​

If you turn on Suggest event titles in Settings, the title field offers matching titles from your past events as you type, ordered by how often and how recently you've used them. Tap one to fill it in. This makes recurring activities ("Standup", "Gym", "Dentist") fast to re-enter.

All-day events​

Switch on All day to create an event with no specific time, such as birthdays, holidays, trips, and deadlines. All-day events have their own reminder options, like "9 AM day of event" (see Reminders).

Editing recurring events​

When you edit or delete an event that repeats, KashCal asks how much of the series you mean to change: just this one, this and everything after it, or all of them. See Recurring events for the details.
