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").

By default, events inherit their calendar's color. But you can also set a custom color for individual events, which can be useful for highlighting important items or color-coding within a single calendar.

Tip: If you use multiple calendars, pick strong, distinct colors so overlaps are easy to spot.

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.

See: Settings and preferences

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.
