If you have linked your calendar with awork, you will see your appointments in Times and the Calendar. Your appointments are also automatically used to calculate your workload in the Planner.
You can integrate as many of your own calendars as you like, as long as they are from Microsoft 365, Apple iCloud or Google.

The calendar integration makes it possible to view your appointments in the timeline within the My Day view under Times. Clicking on an appointment lets you easily create times from it.
Set up Apple iCloud Calendar integration
If you are using an iCloud calendar, another window will open in awork. Here you enter your Apple ID.
You now need to go to https://appleid.apple.com and follow the instructions in the awork popup:
Navigate to security section > select App-Specific Passwords.
Generate a new app password there.
First, confirm in awork that you have followed the steps.
Then enter the password in the text line in awork.
Now all appointments from all integrated calendars are displayed in awork. The icons in the appointments allow you to distinguish between the different providers.
Edit a calendar integration
Where you set up the calendar, you can also edit the settings. In the settings you can first select which of your calendars should be displayed in awork. You can simply select and deselect them in the list. Only subscribed calendars are not selected at the beginning.
At the bottom of the window you will find the following settings:
Share scheduled time with other users
With this switch button you can choose if the linked calendar should be included in the workload calculation, as well as if your appointments should be shown in the planner's calendar.
Show names of non-private appointments
With this setting you can enable whether the appointments should be displayed in the planner with plain names, or simply without names. This applies to all appointments except those marked as private. Their names are never revealed.
Synchronize scheduled tasks to your calendar
🚨 Unfortunately, the sync is not available for the Apple iCloud calendar.
