Keep your schedule close without leaving your Momentum dashboard with Calendar :calendar:. See what's coming up, stay aware of your next meeting, and jump into video calls when it's time, all without interrupting your workflow.
Connect your Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar to bring your upcoming events into Momentum and make it easier to plan your time around what's next.
💡 Why use Calendar? Your schedule stays visible where you already plan and focus, helping you stay aware of upcoming commitments without repeatedly checking another tab or app.
Calendar is available to all Momentum users.
Turn Calendar on or off
Keep your upcoming schedule within easy reach by choosing whether Calendar appears on your Momentum dashboard.
- Open Settings :settings-2:
- Select Calendar from the side menu.
- Toggle Calendar on or off.
💡 Looking for Calendar settings? Calendar has its own section in Settings :settings-2:. You don't need to go through General to turn it on or manage your calendars.
Connect your calendar
Connect your calendar to bring your upcoming schedule into Momentum. You can connect Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, or both at the same time, depending on where you keep your events.
- Open Settings :settings-2:.
- Select Calendar.
- Under Manage your calendars, select:
- Follow the prompts to choose and connect your calendar account.
- Turn on the individual calendars you want to display on your Momentum dashboard.
Once connected, your Google and Outlook calendars appear together under Manage your calendars. You can choose which individual calendars from each account you want Momentum to display.
💡 Use a different calendar account: Your connected Google or Outlook account doesn't need to use the same email address as your Momentum account. You can connect a different work or personal calendar while staying signed in to your existing Momentum account.
Show your next event in the center
Keep your upcoming schedule visible below the center of your dashboard so you can see what's next without opening your calendar.
- Open Settings :settings-2:
- Select Calendar.
- Make sure Calendar is turned on.
- Select Show next event in center.
- Choose Calendar as your center display.
Your next event appears below the center with its event name and scheduled time.
If you have more than one upcoming event, Momentum also shows how many additional events are coming up. For example, you'll see +1 more when there's one additional event or +2 more when there are two.
Manage your Calendar experience
Once your calendar is connected, Momentum gives you a few convenient ways to stay on top of upcoming events and get where you need to go without leaving your dashboard.
Keep track of your next meeting
Your next scheduled meeting for the day appears in the upper-right corner of your dashboard, helping you keep track of what’s coming up while you work.
The reminder shows the time remaining until your closest upcoming meeting. As the meeting gets closer, the countdown updates from hours to minutes.
Once the meeting starts, the reminder changes to Now and displays a progress :loader-circle: to show that the event is currently in progress.
See additional upcoming events
When you have multiple upcoming events, Momentum keeps your next event visible in the center and indicates how many additional events are coming up.
For example:
- +1 more means you have one additional upcoming event.
- +2 more means you have two additional upcoming events.
This gives you a quick sense of what else is coming up without needing to open your calendar.
Focus until your next meeting
Have some time before your next meeting? Use Focus until [time] in the center of your dashboard to make the most of the time you have available.
Momentum automatically calculates the focus session to end 5 minutes before your next meeting. For example, if your meeting starts at 1:30 PM, you'll see Focus until 1:25 PM.
To use Focus until, make sure Focus Mode is turned on:
- Open Settings :settings-2:.
- Go to General.
- Turn on Focus Mode.
- Return to your dashboard.
- Select Focus until [time].
Momentum starts Focus Mode with a countdown set to end 5 minutes before your meeting. When the countdown finishes, Focus Mode automatically ends and returns you to your main dashboard.
💡 Focus Mode needs to be on: If Focus Mode is turned off in Settings :settings-2: → General, the Focus until [time] button won't respond.
Learn more in Focus Mode.
Join an upcoming meeting
When your calendar event includes a supported video meeting link, Momentum gives you a quick way to join directly from your dashboard.
5 minutes before the meeting starts, the Join meeting button appears in the center of your dashboard.
Select Join meeting to open the call directly. This works with the following when the meeting link is included in the calendar event or invitation.
- Zoom
- Google Meet
- Microsoft Teams
Make sure the meeting link is included in the calendar event or invitation so Momentum can provide the Join option.
Select Join meeting to open the call directly from your dashboard.
Open Calendar settings from the dashboard
When Calendar is displayed in the center, you can quickly jump back to its settings without opening the main Settings menu first.
- Click ••• next to the Calendar display.
- Select Calendar settings.
This opens the same Calendar settings available from Settings :settings-2: → Calendar, where you can manage your calendar connections and display options.
Manage your connected calendars
You can manage your Google and Outlook calendar connections anytime from Settings :settings-2: → Calendar → Manage your calendars.
From here, you can choose which connected calendars you want Momentum to use.
Disconnect a calendar
To remove a connected calendar:
- Open Settings :settings-2:.
- Select Calendar.
- Under Manage your calendars, select the connected calendar.
- Choose Disconnect.
Your events from that calendar will stop appearing in Momentum. Disconnecting a calendar doesn't delete any events from Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar.
Fix calendar sync issues
If your events aren't appearing or syncing as expected:
- Open Settings :settings-2: → Calendar.
- Make sure Calendar is turned on.
- Under Manage your calendars, confirm the correct Google or Outlook account is connected.
- Make sure the individual calendar you want to see is selected.
- If needed, disconnect the calendar and reconnect the correct account.
