+description: KashCal 2026.07.02 adds exact-minute times to the time picker and cuts the download to roughly a third of its old size. Here's what changed.

+
+Dispatch from the lab, best known (of all things) for a calendar.
+
+We keep meaning to invent something important. Then July 22 rolls around, the annual Pi Approximation Day party starts (the one where 22/7 gets to cosplay as π and nobody files a complaint), someone gets ideas, and we end up improving the calendar again. Here is what escaped this time.
+
+{/* truncate */}
+
+## Exact minutes, finally
+
+The 5-minute time wheel is lovely right up until you need "3:47," at which point it just shrugs. So there is now a keyboard button on the time picker: tap it, type any minute you please.
+
+Events already sitting on an odd minute show the exact time as tappable text instead of quietly rounding themselves to the nearest five while you looked away. Your 8:52 standup stays 8:52.
+
+## A lighter download
+
+In honor of 22/7 being a wonderfully compact stand-in for something infinite, we went hunting for fat to trim and found the app hauling a crate of packing peanuts. We cleaned house. KashCal is now roughly a third smaller to download and install. Same calendar, less luggage.
+
+## Everything in this release
+
+- **Type an exact minute.** A keyboard button on the time picker lets you enter any minute instead of snapping to the nearest five. Odd-minute events now show their real time as tappable text.
+- **Roughly a third smaller.** Trimmed redundant packaging so the download and install footprint shrink, with no change to what the app does.
+
+Still just a calendar. Now a slightly better one. Happy (approximately) Pi Day.
+
+KashCal is free and open source. [Get it on F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/packages/org.onekash.kashcal/) or read [the docs](/docs).

+description: Where to change KashCal's appearance, event defaults, sync, and privacy options, and what each setting does.
+---
+
+# Settings
+
+Most of KashCal works without touching a single setting. But when you want to change how the week starts, how times show up, or how far back sync reaches, it's all in one place.
+
+Open the navigation drawer (swipe from the left edge, or tap the menu icon) and tap **Settings**. The screen is grouped into sections, described below in the order they appear. You can also search settings from the top of the screen.
+
+## Calendars
+
+- **Calendar Accounts:** connect iCloud or a CalDAV server, and manage the accounts you already have. See [Sync & Accounts](../sync/index.md).
+- **Birthdays & Anniversaries:** show birthdays and anniversaries from your contacts. See [Birthdays](./birthdays.md).
+- **Calendar Feeds (ICS):** subscribe to holiday, sports, or school calendars by URL. See [Calendar feeds](../sync/ics-subscriptions.md).
+- **Device Calendars:** show calendars from other apps already on your phone. See [Device calendars](../sync/device-calendars.md).
+
+## Appearance
+
+- **Event Emojis:** when on, KashCal shows an emoji next to an event based on its title (a cake for a birthday, a plane for a flight). Turn it off for a plainer list.
+- **Time Format:** 12-hour, 24-hour, or follow the system. The row shows a live example of the current format.
+- **Start Week On:** whether your week begins on the system default, Monday, Sunday, or Saturday. This changes every calendar grid at once.
+- **Week Numbers:** show the ISO week number alongside the month grid.
+- **Show declined events:** keep events you've declined visible, shown dimmed with a strikethrough, instead of hiding them.
+- **Widget Event Limit:** how many events each day shows in the home-screen widgets. The default is 5.
+
+:::note Light and dark mode
+KashCal follows your **system** light/dark setting, so it switches automatically when your phone does. There's no separate in-app theme switch. On Android 12 and newer it also picks up your **Material You** wallpaper colors.
+:::
+
+## Creating events
+
+- **Default Calendar:** where new events are created unless you pick another. Tap to choose from any of your calendars, grouped by account. This row shows up once you have at least one calendar.
+- **Default Event Length:** how long a new event runs before you change it. The default is 30 minutes.
+- **Default Alerts:** the reminder added to a new event automatically. The default is 15 minutes before.
+- **Quick Event Add:** turns on the natural-language capture box, so you can type "Coffee with Kash tomorrow 3pm" and get a real event. See [Quick Add](../events/quick-add.md).
+- **Suggest event titles:** offers title suggestions as you type in the event form. On by default.
+- **Notifications:** tap to grant notification permission so your reminders can actually alert you. See [Reminders](../events/reminders.md).
+
+## Sync
+
+- **Sync Lookback:** how far into the past and future to download events. The default is one year each way. Widen it if you need older history on the device.
+
+See [How sync works](../sync/how-sync-works.md) for what happens during a sync.
+
+## Backup & Restore
+
+Export your local events to an `.ics` file, back up your settings, and import or restore them on a new device. See [Backup & restore](./backup-restore.md).
+
+## Privacy
+
+- **App lock:** require your fingerprint, face, or screen lock to open KashCal. Off by default. See [App lock](./app-lock.md).
+
+## Related
