Dashboard

Choose which calendars and widgets your dashboard shows, on desktop and on your phone.

Dashboard

Open Dashboard from the navigation, or press ⌥1, to see your widgets on one page.

Choose the calendars

Use the calendar filter above the widgets to choose which calendars they draw from. The choice is separate from the calendar you were viewing. Archived calendars are not listed.

Arrange widgets

A new Dashboard puts Mini calendar and Upcoming events on the left, Today in the center, and Drafts, Timezone clock, and Time progress on the right. The desktop columns start with aligned bottom edges. Add, move, and resize widgets to build your layout. The layout saves automatically. See Choose and arrange widgets.

To restore the starting layout, open Add widgets, choose Reset to default, and confirm. This replaces the widgets, their arrangement, sizes, and settings. Your calendars, events, and notes stay unchanged.

On your phone

Each widget shows as a card with a quick look at what it holds, such as what's left of today or the next few events. Tap a card's name to open the full widget. Small widgets, such as the clock, sit two to a row.

The bar at the bottom holds the calendar filter and Widgets. Open Widgets to add a widget, or choose Edit widgets to reorder or remove them: drag a widget by its handle to move it, and tap Done when you're finished. Your phone keeps its own order, so arranging widgets there doesn't change the desktop layout.

Ask the When agent

Type a question or a change in the chat field to send it to the When agent. The suggested prompts under the field, such as Recap my week and When am I free?, send right away; the ones ending in “…” start the message for you to finish. On a phone, the chat opens in a sheet over the page. See Use the When agent.
