Calendar
Calendar brings Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook and ICS feeds into one event workspace. Use an agenda or a full Week or Month grid, inspect meeting links and attachments, see what moved, and let Zimac use the same merged schedule for questions, reminders and meeting prep.
One schedule, without flattening its sources. Events merge into a single view but keep their calendar, color and provider identity. You can tell where an event came from, open its original context and apply only the actions that source supports.
▣ Four source types
Apple, Google, Outlook and subscribed or imported ICS calendars in one view.
▣ Agenda, Week, Month
Search upcoming events or navigate backward and forward on visual grids.
▣ Change awareness
See recently added, moved, updated and cancelled events instead of rediscovering them.
▣ Time intelligence
Review meeting load, focus runway, recurring cost and clean free-time suggestions.
/calendar, or choose Calendar from Studios.What it is#
Calendar is Zimac's visual workspace for the events you already keep with your calendar providers. The home view shows today's load, focus potential, conflicts and next event; event pages bring together the time, guests, location, meeting link, notes and attachments that arrived with the invite. The same merged event store powers schedule questions, reminders, conflict checks and 1:1 preparation elsewhere in the app.
Calendar sources#
Connect any combination of the supported sources:
- Apple Calendar reads Calendar on your Mac after the macOS permission prompt. It is available in the macOS app.
- Google Calendar uses Google sign-in and merges the calendars you select.
- Outlook uses your existing Microsoft 365 connection; disconnecting this calendar source does not disconnect Mail, Teams or files.
- ICS supports a refreshing
httpsorwebcalsubscription and a one-time.icsfile import.
Source controls in the studio show what is connected, let you choose individual calendars and refresh or remove a source without clearing the others.
Views, search & chat#
Agenda searches event titles, guests, places and notes over a 7-, 14- or 30-day range. Week and Month provide navigable grids with a wider history and future window; use the arrows or jump back to Today. Opening any event keeps its occurrence distinct, including recurring meetings.
You do not need to open the studio for a schedule answer. Ask about a day, a person, a conflict or an open block and Zimac reads the same connected calendar data.
What changed#
Each refresh compares the new snapshot with the one already on your device. The What changed feed shows additions, cancellations, time moves and meaningful updates from the last 48 hours — for example, “Design review moved to 3:00 PM.” Selecting a change opens that event. Calendar also refreshes in the background so reminders and the visible agenda do not depend on a manual reload.
Meetings & time ledger#
Calendar is the backbone of meeting prep. It can open linked documents, surface a meeting URL, check conflicts and find buffered weekday slots inside working hours. For a proposed event, Zimac hands the final creation to Google Calendar, Outlook or an .ics file so you review it in the calendar you use.
The Time ledger is computed locally from the merged schedule. It compares four weeks of meeting and solo time, shows daily focus runway and short fragmented gaps, identifies expensive recurring series by attendee-hours, and summarizes who has occupied the most calendar time.
Access & editing#
Every source is opt-in and can be disconnected independently. Apple Calendar uses the permission granted by macOS; Google and Outlook use their authenticated connections; ICS content is read from the feed or file you supplied. Synced events are held in Zimac's local stores for the studio and its meeting features, protected by at-rest sealing when active.
Only an existing Apple Calendar event can be edited directly in Zimac, through a chat proposal whose exact changes you click to apply. That path can retime, rename, relocate or change notes for one occurrence or a series; it does not create, delete or change attendees. Google, Outlook and ICS events remain read-only in the studio. New-event creation stays provider-owned through a Google or Outlook hand-off, or an .ics file. When access is missing or a source is unavailable, Zimac reports that state rather than treating the calendar as empty.
