The calendar client (v2)

Web calendarDay, week, and month at /calendar. In the browser, no install, any operating system
Multiple calendarsEvery calendar you grant, each in its own colour, shown or hidden as you like and saved on the free tier
EditingCreate, edit, drag to move, drag to resize, delete. A drag writes only the times, never the rest of the event
Repeating eventsRFC 5545 RRULE via rrule.js, described in plain English with the next dates previewed. Generated in the event's own zone, so a 9am meeting stays 9am across a daylight-saving change
SyncGoogle incremental sync tokens, automatic resync when a token expires or its window runs out, and the last sync time shown to you
Natural languageA language model reads the phrase. A vague time ("in the evening") is ASKED about, never silently assigned. If the model is unavailable a simple pattern reader takes over and says so
GridFullCalendar 6.1.19 (MIT), pinned by exact version and subresource-integrity hash

Standing instructions (v2.1)

Say it oncePlain English rules: keep Friday afternoons clear, no meetings before 9am, nothing after 6pm on weekdays, keep meetings under 90 minutes. Each is restated back so you can check it was understood
Prevent (automatic)A rule becomes real busy time on your booking page, enforced both where slots are shown AND where a booking is confirmed, so a direct request cannot walk through it. No message is sent to anyone
Surface (never automatic)Meetings already on your calendar that break a rule are listed for you. Cachet never declines them and never writes to the organizer
Who else has thisOnly Microsoft Copilot, which is new and needs an M365 seat. No personal calendar client has it, and none can do the prevent half, because none of them also runs the booking surface
