Recording from your calendar

Daisy can show your upcoming meetings and start a recording pre-filled with a meeting's title, attendees, and a tag. It reads calendars through read-only ICS (iCal) links, so nothing about your calendar leaves your machine except the fetch to your provider.

Subscribing to a calendar

  1. Open Settings and go to the Calendars section.
  2. Enter a Name (for example, Work or Personal).
  3. Paste a read-only ICS URL from your provider:
    • Google Calendar: Settings → "Secret address in iCal format".
    • Microsoft 365 Outlook: Share → Publish → ICS link.
    • Apple Calendar: a calendar.icloud.com share link.
  4. Click Add subscription.

For each subscription you can toggle whether it is Enabled, pick a Color, and choose an Auto-tag. Recordings started from that calendar's events are automatically tagged with the auto-tag.

Viewing and recording events

Open the Calendar view to see upcoming events:

  • Use the Window selector to choose how far ahead to look: Today, 3 days, 7 days (the default), 14 days, or 30 days.
  • Click an event to start a new recording pre-filled with its title, attendees (as participants), and the calendar's auto-tag.
  • A meeting that's happening right now is flagged with a ● Now badge.
  • Dismiss an event with the × button to hide it from the list. The dismissal persists across syncs.

Reminders

If a subscribed meeting is about to start, Daisy pops a small always-on-top window titled Meeting starting with the event's title. Click Open to bring Daisy forward and start a recording pre-filled from that event, or Dismiss to close the reminder. Reminders are skipped while you're already recording.

Keeping events current

Daisy refreshes subscribed calendars on its own about every 10 minutes, so the list stays reasonably current on its own. To pull the latest events immediately, click ↻ Sync in the Calendar view or ↻ Refresh now in Settings → Calendars.
