Welcome to NimbleCal! Let's get you set up in just a few minutes.
1) Open NimbleCal

2) (Optional) Install it like an app

3) Learn the basics (views and navigation)
Before you add lots of events, it helps to know how to move around.
Next: Calendar views and navigation
4) Check your calendar
NimbleCal starts you with a default calendar (for example, "My Calendar").
- To rename or edit it: open the calendar ... menu and choose Edit calendar.
- To create additional calendars (work/personal, projects, etc.): that's a Plus feature.
See: Create and manage calendars
5) Set your timezone and week start
In the app, open Settings, then:
- Set Timezone so event times display correctly.
- Set Week starts on (Sunday/Monday/Saturday) to match your preference.
6) Create your first event
On desktop, click and drag on the calendar grid to select a time range, then create the event.
On touch devices, long-press on an empty spot on the grid to create an event.
Next: Create and edit events
7) Try Quick Add
Quick Add lets you create events in plain language (for example: "Dentist tomorrow 9am").
It runs fully on-device: your text stays local and is not sent to any server.
Next: Quick Add (natural language)
8) Learn the best shortcuts
If you like speed, this is the fun part.

If something feels broken
If you're stuck on a loading screen or actions are not saving, it is often a browser/extension issue.
