Add an event in one line

Type one line the way you'd say it, like ‘tomorrow 7pm Dinner date’, and the date and time fill in for you.

Create an event in one line

  1. Step 1. Tap the + button and type your event in one line

    Tap the + button at the bottom right of the Calendar tab and an input box slides up above the keyboard. The chip above the box shows the date the event will go on. At first, it's the date you have selected.

    As you type, the words read as a date or time are highlighted, and the date chip above updates to match. The line below the box sums up the time, repeat, owner and reminder it read. When you're done, tap Add. To adjust what it read, tap Details. The edit screen opens with everything already filled in.

    For the date, type ‘today’, ‘tomorrow’, a weekday or something like ‘Oct 15’. For the time, type ‘7pm’ or ‘15:30’. For a repeat, add ‘every week’; for a reminder, ‘1 hour before’; and for the owner, a member's nickname or ‘together’. The words it reads are taken out of the title, and whatever is left becomes the title. Here are a few examples.

    • ‘next Friday 6:30pm family dinner’ → ‘family dinner’ at 6:30 PM next Friday
    • ‘Monday 9am workout every week’ → ‘workout’ at 9:00 AM on Monday, repeating every week
    • ‘Oct 3 to 5 camping trip’ → ‘camping trip’ running from the 3rd to the 5th
    • ‘today 3pm to 5pm meeting’ → ‘meeting’ today from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM
    • ‘tomorrow 7pm meeting Jake’ → ‘meeting’ tomorrow at 7:00 PM, owned by Jake

Use the time you type in the title

  1. Step 2. Type the same way in the title field of the add event screen

    On the Add event screen that opens when you tap Details, you can also type something like ‘tomorrow 3pm meeting’ in the title field. The date and time it reads fill the fields below, and the highlighted words are taken out of the title when you save.

    A date or time you've already picked yourself isn't overwritten.

Good to know

  • You can also touch and hold a date on the calendar to open the same input box. Hold and drag to open it for that range of days.
  • If you don't type a time, the event is added without one. Add am or pm to the hour, like ‘7pm’, so it's read as a time.
  • To always set a time, go to Calendar in the Settings tab and turn on Always use a time under Time defaults. Events with a time get a 30-minute-before reminder by default, and you can change that in Default reminder (with a time).
  • If a date you type without a year, like ‘Aug 14’, has already passed this year, it's read as next year. The date chip then shows the year too, so check it.
