Amplenote's Apple Calendar Sync

Apple Sync is now available for Amplenote to integrate your Apple Calendar tasks and events.

How does Apple Calendar work in Amplenote?

Amplenote allows you to sync Apple Calendar and its existing Google and Outlook sync.

This means everyone using the built-in Apple calendar to add events from emails or schedule their time can now import this information into their Amplenote account. You can still import events from calendars or push events created inside Amplenote into all connected calendars.

Amplenote's Calendar Colours

Colour coding for calendar events inside Amplenote is now available.

How do calendar colors work in Amplenote?

Calendar views inside Amplenote have also received a fun new update. You can now use colors to visualize tasks and add a new dimension to time management. Coordinating tasks using colors is great for quickly scanning your calendar and seeing the types of tasks in store for that day.

For internal calendar events, the color of the task background is determined by the tag you give to the task. When creating a new tag, you can choose different colors. For example, if your task is for work, you can make a hashtag #work and color code it in blue.

These colors will be automatically imported from your existing calendar for external calendar events. For example, the colors you use for tasks inside Google Calendar will be used in Amplenote. You can change this in the settings to use your colors inside Amplenote.

Feature Focus

Using Readwise with Amplenote

Can I connect Readwise with Amplenote?
