Connect your calendar
See your real schedule alongside your tasks. Google, Outlook, Apple iCloud or any calendar link. Read-only, nothing written back.
Connect your calendar
The Planner is more useful when it knows about your meetings. MonoDesk can show events from Google Calendar, Outlook / Microsoft 365, Apple iCloud Calendar, or any calendar that offers a subscription link (.ics / webcal).
Where to find it
Open the Planner and MonoDesk offers to connect a calendar the first time, or go to Settings → Feature settings → Calendar at any time. Each provider has its own card, and you can connect more than one.
Google Calendar
Click Connect on the Google card and sign in with your Google account. Then pick which calendars to show in the Planner.
Outlook / Microsoft 365
Click Connect on the Outlook / Microsoft 365 card and sign in with your Microsoft account. Personal (Outlook.com) and work or school accounts both work. Choose the calendars you want under Calendars to show.
Apple iCloud Calendar
Apple doesn’t offer a “Sign in with Apple” option for calendars, so iCloud uses an app-specific password, a separate password just for MonoDesk.
- Go to account.apple.com, sign in, and open Sign-In and Security → App-Specific Passwords.
- Create a new password (name it something like “MonoDesk”) and copy it.
- In MonoDesk, on the iCloud Calendar card, enter your Apple Account email and paste the app-specific password.
- Click Connect iCloud, then choose the calendars to show.
Your normal Apple password won’t work here; it has to be an app-specific one. MonoDesk stores it encrypted and only uses it to read your calendars. You can revoke it from your Apple Account at any time.
Any other calendar (subscription link)
Using Fastmail, Proton, Zoho, a booking tool, or a shared team calendar? If it gives you an .ics or webcal link, paste it under Calendar subscriptions → Calendar by URL and optionally give it a name. Subscribed calendars refresh periodically, so changes may take a little while to show up.
What it does (and doesn’t do)
- Events show read-only in your week
- Nothing is written back to your calendar; MonoDesk never creates, edits or deletes your events
- Tasks stay tasks, events stay events; you just see both in one place
- You can disconnect any provider from its card in Settings → Feature settings → Calendar
For what this looks like across MonoDesk, see Planner.
