KeptMind + Google Calendar: voice capture that lands in your calendar

Google Calendar is where your commitments live; KeptMind is where new commitments are captured. The integration closes the gap between the thought and the calendar slot. Voice → AI parsing → calendar event appears, all in under 15 seconds. The fastest path from "I should remember this" to "the calendar holds it" available on the platform.

How the integration works

Connect Google Calendar in KeptMind settings. Tasks you mark with a due date and time sync to your Google Calendar as events. The flow: speak the task by voice → KeptMind parses the date and time → the event appears in Google Calendar automatically.

Existing Google Calendar events also appear in KeptMind's Today view as context — so you can see upcoming meetings alongside your tasks without switching apps.

The OAuth flow is one-time. After authorization, sync is automatic and continuous — events created in KeptMind appear in Google Calendar within seconds, and changes propagate both ways within the next sync window.

ADHD use cases

Mid-walk realization: "I need to call the dentist Thursday at 10." Speak it into KeptMind. It lands in your calendar without opening a second app or unlocking your phone to tap through a calendar interface.

Deadline awareness: tasks with deadlines in KeptMind appear as time blocks so your calendar represents your actual obligations, not just invited meetings. Low-energy days show fewer calendar blocks — KeptMind hides non-critical tasks to prevent the guilt of a full calendar.

For ADHD adults whose calendar already shows everyone else's expectations (work meetings, family events), adding personal task blocks via voice is the missing piece. The calendar starts to represent your full bandwidth, not just the demands placed on it.

Setup and requirements

Google Calendar sync is available on KeptMind Plus and above. Connect via the Integrations tab in settings — takes under two minutes. No browser extension or third-party connector required.

Two-way sync means changes in Google Calendar (moving a meeting, cancelling an event) update the linked task in KeptMind. You manage your schedule in one place and the other stays in sync.

Privacy and data handling

KeptMind reads only the calendar(s) you explicitly grant access to. We do not read other calendars or attached file metadata. The OAuth scope is minimal — read events from selected calendars and write events to your KeptMind calendar.

Disconnecting at any time stops sync. Existing synced events remain on the calendar (we do not retroactively delete) but new tasks stop syncing. Your KeptMind data and your Google Calendar data are kept separately; the integration is a bridge, not a merger.

For users with sensitive calendars (medical providers, legal cases, restricted contexts), the per-calendar selection during setup means you can sync with personal calendars only and keep work or sensitive calendars excluded.

Common workflows that work well

Capture by voice → automatically scheduled → see in calendar. The speak-to-schedule flow handles 70% of new commitments for ADHD adults: medical appointments, deadlines, social plans, kids' events. The friction reduction matters because adult ADHD users typically lose tasks at the moment of impulse, not at the moment of acting.

Pair with energy match: sync only on high-energy days if low days are survival mode. Or sync everything and let the calendar reflect the full picture — both modes are configurable. The system does not impose a single workflow; it supports the one that matches your relationship with calendars.

For users in sales, consulting, or creative agency work where calendar density is high, the integration becomes the primary value driver. The sub-15-second voice flow replaces multi-minute calendar entry on iOS or Android — across a typical work week, the time savings compound noticeably.

Frequently asked questions

Does KeptMind sync with Google Calendar for free?
Google Calendar sync requires a Plus plan or above. The free tier covers voice capture and task management without calendar sync.
Does it work with Google Workspace accounts?
Yes — both personal Google accounts and Google Workspace (business) accounts are supported for calendar sync. Some Workspace administrators restrict third-party app access; if connection fails, ask your IT admin to allow KeptMind in Workspace admin console.
What happens to recurring events?
Recurring Google Calendar events appear in KeptMind's Today view on their scheduled days. KeptMind does not duplicate or modify recurring events — it reads them as context for your day. Recurring tasks created in KeptMind sync to Google Calendar as recurring events using standard RRULE notation.
Can I sync multiple Google accounts?
Yes — connect each account separately and choose which calendars from each account participate in sync. The system tracks events by calendar ID, so the same event in two synced calendars is not duplicated.
What if I edit an event in Google Calendar after KeptMind created it?
Edits propagate back to KeptMind within the next sync window. Time changes update the linked task; title changes are reflected; deletion in Google Calendar marks the KeptMind task as cancelled. The two-way nature is genuine — both sides remain authoritative for their domain.
