By default, this app operates offline enabling you to create events manually or import them from ICS files & receive reminders/notifications. Most Calendar services like Google Calendar, Outlook, and Nextcloud offer CalDAV syncing to push/pull events to & from your calendar. A third-party sync app, [*DAVx5*](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/at.bitfire.davdroid/), is needed to handle the synchronization with whatever service you are using. ## Calendar views To change the time scale on how the calendar is displayed, tap on the square icon made up of 9 dots.
