The household calendar

The household calendar shows every member's events in a single view — colour-coded by person so you can see at a glance who has what on. Connect your existing Google, Apple, or Outlook calendar and Orbrey imports your events without modifying anything in your calendar app.

Connecting Google, Apple, or Outlook

Go to Settings → Integrations → Calendar and choose your provider. You will be redirected to a consent screen. Grant Orbrey read and write access so new events you create in Orbrey sync back to your calendar. Each household member connects their own calendar separately.

Orbrey requests the minimum necessary scopes. It reads your existing events and writes new Orbrey-created events back. It does not modify, delete, or read the contents of existing events beyond the title, time, and attendees.

Creating events

Tap any time slot in the calendar to create an event. You can set a title, date and time, location, and attendees (other household members). Events created in Orbrey sync back to the connected calendar of the member who created them.

Colour-coded member views

Each household member gets a distinct colour in the shared calendar. You can toggle individual members on and off using the member chips at the top of the calendar view to reduce clutter when you only need to see certain people's schedules.

Importing a school calendar or PDF

School calendars are often distributed as PDFs or ICS files. To import an ICS file, use the calendar settings import option. For a PDF, you can use the Orbrey Claude Code plugin or your connected AI assistant — upload the PDF and ask it to import the events into Orbrey, and it will parse the dates and create the events for you.

Calendar conflict detection

Orbrey flags scheduling conflicts when two events overlap for the same member, or when there is insufficient travel time between back-to-back events at different locations. Conflicts show as a warning badge on the calendar tile. The calendar-conflict-finder AI skill provides a detailed conflict report across all members for any date range.

Two-home shared view

For co-parenting households, each parent creates their own Orbrey account and household. Shared custody days, pickups, and drop-offs can be created as events with the other parent as an attendee, so both households see the same schedule. Neither parent needs to be in the same Orbrey household — the shared event appears in both calendars via the attendee invite.
