An event can be as simple as "Dinner 7pm" or as detailed as a meeting with a location, link, notes, reminders, and participants.
Title, date, and duration
- Title is what you'll search for most, so keep it short and recognizable.
- All day events have no time (great for birthdays, deadlines, travel days).
- Timed events have a start and end time.
Calendar and color
Every event belongs to a calendar (like "Work" or "Personal").
Tip: If you use multiple calendars, pick strong, distinct colors so overlaps are easy to spot.
See: Calendar colors and visibility
Location and meeting link
You can add:
- A location (address, room name, or a URL), and
- A meeting link (Zoom/Google Meet/etc)
NimbleCal can also open non-URL locations in your preferred maps provider.
Notes (description)
Use the description field for anything you want to keep with the event:
- Agendas
- Checklists
- Dial-in info
- Anything you might need later
Reminders and recurrence
Two common "make it stick" tools:
- Reminders: Reminders and notifications
- Recurrence: Recurring events
Participants and invites
Add participant emails when you want to send an invite and collect RSVPs.
Privacy note
Invites are designed to be private, but they are different from normal encrypted sync. An invite link can reveal event details to anyone who has the link. Keep invite links private.
