Pro Workflow

Hybrid Calendar Model

Use a combination for Full Note (for recurring and other detailed events) and Daily Note Calender (daily events stored compactly). Also check out Advanced Categorization and its event naming convention, to unleash the full power of this plugin and supercharge your workflow!

Master the FCR Command

For the fastest experience, skip the buttons and use the FCR Command (NLP Orchestrator). Open it with via the command palette Ctrl/Cmd + P (or add custom keyboard shortcut for direct access) and type naturally: "Team sync tomorrow at 3pm" or "go to next week". It's the "brain" of the plugin and the most efficient way to get things done QUICK.

Task Integration

Seamlessly merge your task management and calendar planning using TaskNotes or the Tasks Plugin integrations.

Installation

BRAT (Recommended)Manual Installation

First-Time Setup

When you open Full Calendar for the first time, you'll be prompted to add your first calendar source.

It's recommended to start with a local calendar type, as these are editable directly from the plugin.

• Full Note Calendar: The most powerful option. Each event is a separate note in your vault.

• Daily Note Calendar: Store events as checklist items in your daily notes, in a efficient and compact way.

• Remote & Integrations: Connect your existing schedules with Outlook, Google Calendar, or CalDAV. Or sync your scheduled tasks directly onto your calendar with TaskNotes.

Opening the Calendar

You can open the main calendar view in two ways: 1. Click the Calendar icon in the Obsidian ribbon (the left-hand bar). 2. Run the command Full Calendar: Open Calendar from the command palette (Ctrl/Cmd + P).

Sidebar Calendar

For quick reference, you can open a more compact version of the calendar in the sidebar. Run the command Full Calendar: Open in sidebar.
