Calendar & time

Calendar

One calendar for your events, your connected Google or Outlook calendars, and any database with a date field.

Calendar is a surface in the sidebar. It shows three kinds of things on one grid: events you create in Snoze, events from calendars you connect (Google Calendar or Outlook), and records from any database that has a date field. Drag any of them to reschedule.

Create an event

  1. Open Calendar from the sidebar and click +.
  2. Fill in the event. Give it a Title, pick which Calendar it belongs to, and set the time. Tick All day for a date without a time.
  3. Add detail if you want it. Recurrence (Does not repeat, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly), Location, Attendees, and a Conference URL.
  4. Create.

Events on the Snoze calendar save immediately. Events on a connected calendar show a syncing state until the provider confirms the write.

Times are stored in your time zone at the moment you create the event, so a 9:00 meeting stays at 9:00 wherever you open it.

Connect Google Calendar or Outlook

  1. In the calendar sidebar, click Connect a calendar. This opens Workspace settings → Connected apps.
  2. Sign in with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 and allow calendar access.
  3. Your calendars appear under Calendars in the sidebar. Toggle each one on or off.

Sync runs both ways:

What moves between Snoze and a connected calendar, in each direction

Into SnozeCalendar names and colours; events with title, description, location, times or all-day dates, recurrence, attendees, conference links, and status (confirmed, tentative, cancelled).
Out to the providerEvents you create or edit on a connected calendar: title, description, location, times, recurrence, and attendees.

Google pushes changes to Snoze as they happen. Outlook is checked on a schedule. If a write to the provider fails, Snoze retries it; the calendar shows retrying until it lands, and reconnect required if the connection itself has lapsed.

Events marked private on the provider show as Busy with their details hidden.

Put a database on the calendar

Any database with a Date field can appear on the calendar.

  • In the calendar sidebar, add the database as a source and choose which date field places each record. Add an End date field to show ranges.
  • Records without a value in that field stay off the calendar.
  • Dragging a record to a new day writes the new date back to the record, as long as you can edit it.

This is the same projection a database’s own calendar view uses; the difference is that the Calendar surface shows several databases and your events together.
