Calendar 📆

Lists are great for "what's on my plate." The Calendar answers a different question: when. It lays your due-dated tasks and events out on a real calendar so you can see the week at a glance — and, if you connect Google, it quietly pushes your tasks to your phone so they nudge you even when Mochii isn't open.

Your tasks and events laid out on the calendar.

What the Calendar shows

Open it from Calendar in the sidebar. It brings these together in one view, each with its own colored dot in the legend:

• Task due dates — tasks assigned to you, or that you collaborate on, that have a due date. No due date, no spot on the calendar — so this doubles as a gentle reminder to date your work.
• Projects — the start and due dates of the projects you can see.
• Personal — events you keep on your Personal page.
• Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar — your own meetings, once you connect either one (see below).

The Calendar is a read-only view. You don't create or drag items here: change a task's due date on the task, and add personal events on your Personal page.

Getting around

• Day / Week / Month / Year — switch how much you see. It opens on Month. Day is great for "what's today," Week is the everyday workhorse, Month and Year are for spotting the busy stretches before they sneak up on you. In Year, click a month to open it.
• Today jumps to today's Day view; the ‹ › arrows step back and forward by one day, week, month or year.
• Legend filters — click a source in the legend to hide or show it. Google and Outlook stay greyed out until they're connected.
• Click a day to list everything on it in the details panel below the calendar, then View this day to open it in Day view. Click an item to see its details and open the task, project or event.
• Request time off — if your role can request time off, the button sits next to the view switch.

See your Google and Outlook meetings here

Connect Google or Microsoft (Outlook) in Settings → Integrations and your own calendar events appear next to your Mochii dates, in their calendar's color. They're read-only in Mochii: click one to see its details or open it in Google Calendar or Outlook. Until you connect one, a banner at the top of the Calendar links you to Settings.

Send your tasks to your phone with Google

This is the part worth setting up. When you connect your Google account, Mochii creates two dedicated, clearly-labeled spots in your Google account and keeps them in sync for you:

Why bother? Because once your tasks live in Google Tasks and Google Calendar, you control the reminders from your devices — the iPhone Reminders/Tasks pop-ups, the calendar alerts on your Mac or PC, the buzz on your watch. Mochii doesn't have to be open for a deadline to find you.

How to connect

1. Go to Settings → Integrations.
2. Open the Google tab and click Connect (you'll grant access in a normal Google sign-in window).
3. That's it. Mochii provisions your Mochii calendar and Mochii task list, then starts syncing.

What actually syncs

To keep your Google calendar from turning into noise, Mochii only sends across the tasks that are truly yours and time-bound. A task shows up in your Mochii calendar and Google Tasks list when all three are true:

• it's assigned to you,
• it has a due date, and
• it isn't deleted.

Complete it in Mochii and it gets checked off in Google. Remove the due date, reassign it, or delete it, and it quietly disappears from Google. No cleanup on your end.
