Talk into your phone. KeptMind listens, sorts your thoughts into clear next steps, and nudges you only when it matters.
KeptMind calendar sync bridges sorted tasks to Google or Apple calendars when executive function returns. You are not forced to drag blocks before the thought is saved. One-directional by default: tasks become events, calendar events do not become tasks unless you opt in.
Speak or brain-dump first, review Today, then push selected tasks to calendar. This reverses the Sunsama order that assumes you already know your blocks. For ADHD brains where capture is the bottleneck, calendar sync should follow capture, not precede it.
Two-way awareness without two-way commitment. Calendar events can inform nudges (so we know not to escalate during a meeting) without becoming the primary inbox you must groom daily. The toggle is per direction — opt in to either independently.
For users who want full bi-directional sync, the option exists. But the default is uni-directional because that matches how most ADHD users actually work — adding to two systems is double maintenance.
Adults with time blindness who need external time anchors after capture. The ADHD brain often experiences time as a flat present; an event on a calendar at 3pm provides the structural anchor that makes the task concrete.
Users in calendar-heavy work environments (consulting, sales, creative agencies) where commitments live in Google or Apple Calendar. Sync removes the duplicate-entry tax — capture in KeptMind, see it on the work calendar without manual transcription.
Pair with energy match — sync only high-energy days if low days are survival lists only. Or sync everything and let the calendar reflect the full picture; both modes are configurable.
Connect Google Calendar in Settings → Integrations. Tasks you schedule with a due date and time push to the calendar as events. The reverse — calendar events appearing in KeptMind Today — is opt-in via a separate toggle.
Existing Google Calendar events appear in KeptMind's Today view as context (not tasks) — so you can see upcoming meetings alongside your tasks without switching apps. Nothing creates new tasks unless you explicitly convert an event into a task.
Apple Calendar uses the iOS EventKit framework and requires permission at first connect. The same uni-directional default applies.
If your calendar is already a graveyard of half-relevant events. Adding more obligations to a stale calendar makes both worse. Clean the calendar first; sync after.
For internal-only task lists. If a task does not need to live on the calendar (because it is captured in KeptMind and Today is enough), do not push it. Sync is a tool, not a requirement.
In the first two weeks of using KeptMind. Connecting calendar sync before you have a stable capture habit creates a half-populated calendar that looks like a system but is not. Build capture muscle first; sync after.
For users on shared family calendars where adding personal tasks would clutter someone else's view. Use a private secondary calendar (Google supports multiple) and sync there only — keep the shared one for genuinely shared events.
