Free time is not only about your primary calendar. A shared work calendar, a partner’s calendar, a public-holiday calendar: each one you subscribe to can hold commitments Pensova should plan around.

Open Settings and find Calendars checked for conflicts. Every calendar your Google or Microsoft account subscribes to is listed. A checked calendar counts as busy; an unchecked one is ignored. The starting point is whatever you have visible in your calendar.

What counts as busy

  • Any event on a checked calendar, including ones you have not accepted.
  • Calendars shared with you so that they show only when someone is busy. Pensova cannot see the titles, and does not need to.
  • All-day events, which block the whole working day. A public holiday on a subscribed holiday calendar keeps that day clear of tasks.
  • Time you block off in Settings, which is added to your calendar as a repeating event.

What does not count

Events on an unchecked calendar, and events marked free in your calendar. Pensova’s own blocks count as busy too, so two tasks never get the same time.

Change a check and Pensova moves your task blocks straight away, out of the way of a newly counted calendar.
