Roadmap

This page lists what is planned for gcal and is not in it yet. Read it before you build a workaround for a missing feature: it may already be on the way. The order is approximate and can change. To suggest something, open an issue on GitHub.

What works todayCopy Anchor Link

gcal signs in to your Google account and syncs the calendars you own into the local WireCat store, from a year back to three months ahead, then only what changed; a big sync goes on over several runs. You can list, show and search events by words and by meaning, see the people in them and their Drive files, all without the network, and search Google Calendar itself with search --backend server. calendars busy shows when people are taken and the stretches free for all of them. After session start --grant write it creates, changes and deletes events, repeating ones included, switches an event between timed and all-day, and answers invitations, each write asking first. gcal api reaches every Google Calendar API method by name. Every command is in the command reference.

NextCopy Anchor Link

• Moving an event to another calendar. Today: create it on the other calendar and delete the old one.
• Changing "this and all following" occurrences of a repeating event. Today a change applies to one occurrence or to the whole series (--series).
• Sign-in without your own Google client. gcal uses WireCat's shared Google app once Google has reviewed it for Calendar. Until then, make your own client.
