Recurring Events

You can set events to repeat automatically each year or on a custom schedule. The calendar supports:

• Yearly recurrence — Ideal for birthdays and anniversaries.
• Custom recurrence — For events like “2nd Saturday in August” or “Every other Wednesday.”

Event Categories

Categories help organize the calendar and apply consistent icons and colors. Common categories include:

• Birthday — 🎂
• Anniversary — 💍
• Holiday — 🎉
• Custom Event — ✏️

Editing an Event

After saving an event, you can update it at any time. Simply click the event on the calendar and choose Edit. You can change the title, date, description, color, or recurrence.

Deleting an Event

If an event is no longer needed, open it and click Delete. Deleted events are removed from the calendar immediately.
