Calendar & reminders
One calendar for household events, plus tasks, payments, pets, and quick reminders that you choose to show on the calendar.
What’s on the calendar
Native calendar events always appear. Open tasks, subscriptions, pet care items, and quick reminders appear when Show on calendar is turned on (and they have a due / next date).
Views and colors
- Switch Month, Week, Day (by date, all people together), or List (grouped by person).
- Tap a day for the agenda. On phones, that day detail opens in a popup so the month grid stays usable.
- Color chips show each profile plus Household (shared / Everyone items). Tap a name to hide or show; tap the swatch to change color.
- Marks in the legend: T task, R reminder, P payment, B / A birthday and anniversary, paw for pets, and the Household color square for shared items.
Creating events
From Calendar, add an event with title, time or all-day, location, notes, repeat, visibility, and who to remind.
- On calendar for — yourself, a managed child/dependent, or Household (shared family events — yellow by default). Household events always use whole-household visibility and remind everyone. Ask Atlas keeps them on personal agendas so conflicts stay visible.
- Visibility can be whole household, private, or shared with specific people (locked to whole household when On calendar for is Household).
- Reminder offsets (minutes / hours / days) and who gets them (just you vs everyone who can see the event).
Occasions
Use Occasion for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, holidays, and other yearly dates. They are all-day, repeat on the same calendar day each year, and remind a week ahead plus on the day (in-app and push). All occasions lists each name and next date.
Quick reminders
Lightweight nudges (for example “call the plumber in 2 hours”). Manage them on Reminders: filter upcoming / past and on-calendar / private, complete when done, or edit.
Under Nudge other family members, choose Just me (default), Everyone, or Specific people. They get the same time and notify settings; only the reminder owner can edit or complete it.
Quick reminders default to off-calendar so they stay out of your month grid unless you opt in. You can also create them from Quick add or the calendar.
Opening tasks, pets, and payments
Tapping a task, subscription, or pet item on the calendar opens a summary, then takes you to the right module to edit — not the calendar event editor. Change the underlying task or pet visit there.
Dashboard week ahead
The home dashboard shows the same week’s calendar items in Day or Profile sort — including school assignments and other tasks that are set to show on the calendar.
