If you use calendar sync (and you should!), you've probably noticed that every meeting, dentist appointment, and travel block shows up in your task lists right alongside your actual work. That's noise. Not every calendar event is something you need to do — many are just time commitments. This update teaches MakeTimeFlow the difference. **Released:** Monday, March 2, 2026 ### Calendar Events Stay on Your Calendar MakeTimeFlow now automatically recognizes tasks that came from your calendar and marks them as **events** — a distinct task type separate from your normal tasks. Events are hidden from your task lists by default, so your Today list, Outliner, and planning views show only the work you need to do. Your calendar panel still shows everything, of course. Events aren't gone — they're just in the right place. When you look at your task list, you see tasks. When you look at your calendar, you see your full schedule. Each view does what it's best at. Existing tasks that were created by calendar sync have been automatically reclassified as events, so you'll notice a cleaner task list right away. ### Show or Hide Events With a Click Every view now has a simple inline toggle to show or hide events: - **Hidden (default):** `○ events` — muted text, tucked into the view header - **Showing:** `✓ events` — click once to reveal events in your task list The Focus view also has a `completed` toggle that works the same way, replacing the old three-dot options menu with something you can reach in one click. These toggles are global — change it once and it applies everywhere. When you're planning your week and want to see the full picture including meetings, toggle events on. When you're executing and want to focus on real work, toggle them off. ### Change Any Task's Type Open any task's card and you'll find a new type selector in the overflow menu. Every task can be set to one of four types: - **Normal** — your regular tasks and work items - **Event** — calendar commitments and meetings - **X Block** — focused deep work blocks - **Marker** — section dividers (from last week's update) This gives you full control over classification. If a calendar event is actually work you need to track, change it to Normal. If you put something on your calendar but it's just a time commitment, mark it as an Event so it stays out of your task list. ### Smarter Calendar Sync When you delete a calendar event, MakeTimeFlow now handles it intelligently: - **Event-type tasks** (created by calendar sync) are automatically cancelled — since the source of truth is gone, the task should go too - **Normal tasks** (your own work that you timeblocked) just lose their time slot — the task stays because you still need to do the work This means calendar sync respects the direction of flow: your calendar manages events, MakeTimeFlow manages tasks. ## How This Helps You Level Up The core insight behind this update: your task list should show things you need to *do*, not things that will *happen to you*. A dentist appointment at 2pm isn't a task — it's a time commitment. A team standup isn't something you complete — it's somewhere you show up. By separating events from tasks, your planning views become a clearer reflection of your actual work. You spend less time mentally filtering through calendar noise and more time choosing the right task to work on next. Combined with [[Update 20260302 Focus In See Only What Matters|Focus In]] from earlier today, your views now show exactly what matters — nothing more, nothing less.
