Recurring events

Some things come back around. A daily habit, a Friday standup, the second Tuesday of every month. KashCal handles all of them, so you set the pattern once and forget about it.

Setting up a repeat​

In the event form, tap Repeat and choose how often the event recurs:

  • Daily, Weekly, Biweekly, Monthly, Yearly, or a custom interval (for example, every 3 weeks).
  • For weekly events, pick which days of the week it lands on.
  • For monthly events, choose on a day of the month (like the 15th) or on a weekday position (like the second Tuesday).

You can also set when the repeat ends:

  • Never repeats indefinitely.
  • On a date stops after a date you choose.
  • After a number of times stops after a set count of occurrences.

You can also create recurring events directly with Smart event add, for example "Standup every weekday at 9am".

Editing or deleting one occurrence vs. the whole series​

When you change or delete a repeating event, KashCal asks what you mean. The exact wording depends on what you're doing:

  • Editing: "This event", "This and all future", or "All events".
  • Deleting: the same scope choices, with "All events" styled as the destructive option.
  • Dragging to reschedule: "This event", "This and all future", or "All events". For events from a device calendar, only "This event" and "This and all future" are offered.

This lets you move this week's meeting without disturbing the rest of the series, or change the time for every future meeting at once.

How a single-occurrence change is stored

If you change a single occurrence of a repeating event, KashCal records it as an exception to the series and keeps it linked to the original, so the rest of the series stays intact and continues to sync correctly.

The edit also stays a single edit. It's sent to your server as a change to that one occurrence, tagged with the date and time of the occurrence it replaces, so it doesn't turn into a duplicate or a separate new event the next time you sync.

It works in the other direction too. If you delete that changed occurrence from another app or another device, the next sync removes KashCal's copy as well, once the server marks the occurrence as excluded from the series, instead of leaving a stray event behind.
