Google Calendar

Atlas integrates with Google Calendar so your events appear in your daily notes, you can ask about your schedule in natural language, and you can create or delete events through conversation.

Note

Google Calendar integration requires a Talk plan or active free trial. Atlas uses standard OAuth2 for authorization — your Google credentials are never stored by Atlas.

Connecting Your Google Account

1. Open Settings and scroll to the Google Integration section
2. Click Connect Google Account — a browser window opens asking you to authorize Atlas
3. Select the Google account you want to connect and grant the requested permissions
4. Once authorized, return to Atlas — you’ll see “Connected as [your email]” and your calendars will load

Note

Atlas uses OAuth2 tokens to access your calendar. These tokens are stored locally on your machine and are never uploaded to the Atlas cloud. Your Google password is never seen or stored by Atlas.

Calendar Sync Settings

Once connected, you can configure how Atlas syncs your calendar events to your daily notes.

Calendar Selection

Choose which Google calendar to sync from the dropdown. If you have multiple calendars (Work, Personal, etc.), pick the one you want events pulled from.

Auto-Sync Daily Note Tasks

Default: Off

When enabled, Atlas automatically syncs your calendar events into your daily notes. Events appear in a ## Events section in each day’s note file.

Default Reminder

Choose how far in advance Atlas reminds you about upcoming events:

• None: No reminders
• 5 / 10 / 15 / 30 / 60 minutes: Reminder before each event

Sync Interval

How often Atlas checks Google Calendar for new or changed events while the app is running:

• Every 5 minutes: Most responsive — good if your calendar changes frequently
• Every 15 minutes (default): Good balance between freshness and API usage
• Every 30 / 60 minutes: Less frequent checks

Sync Range

How far into the future Atlas syncs events:

• 3 months (default): Covers the near-term — good for most users
• 6 months: Plans further ahead
• 12 months: Full year of events synced to daily notes

Tip

Longer sync ranges mean more daily note files are created with event data. If you prefer a lean vault, stick with 3 months.

Sync Now

Click Sync Now to immediately pull events from Google Calendar and write them to your daily notes. This is useful after first connecting or after changing your sync range.

Checking Your Schedule

Once connected, ask Atlas about your calendar in conversation:

• “What meetings do I have today?”
• “Check my calendar for tomorrow”
• “Do I have anything on Friday afternoon?”
• “What’s my first meeting this week?”

Atlas queries your Google Calendar and returns real event data — times, titles, descriptions, and attendee information.

Calendar-Aware Briefings

You can set up a scheduled morning task that asks Atlas to summarize your day, including upcoming meetings. A prompt like:

“Check my calendar and tasks for today. Give me a morning briefing with what’s scheduled, any tasks due today, and anything I should prepare for.”

…produces a personalized daily brief every morning. See Scheduled Tasks to set this up.

The Calendar View

The Calendar panel in Atlas shows a month or week view of your events alongside task indicators from your daily notes. Click any day to open or create that day’s note.

Creating and Managing Events

You can also ask Atlas to manage events:

• “Schedule a meeting with Sarah tomorrow at 2pm and add it to my calendar”
• “Create a calendar event called ‘Team sync’ on Friday at 10am for one hour”
• “Delete my 3pm meeting on Thursday”

Atlas will confirm before making changes.

Tip

After creating an event via Atlas, it appears in both your Google Calendar and the Atlas calendar view immediately.

Disconnecting Google Calendar

To disconnect, go to Settings > Google Integration and click Disconnect. This removes the stored OAuth tokens from your machine. You can reconnect at any time.
