Yes - but with an important difference compared to traditional calendars.

AnnuCal is not an hourly or time-based calendar.
It is a 12-month planner designed for long-term planning, not for scheduling appointments by the hour.

How events work in AnnuCal

  • Each calendar can contain one event per day

  • Events represent topics, phases, or blocks of time

  • There is no hourly or minute-based scheduling

This is intentional and helps keep the yearly overview clear and readable.

Why this is different from Google or Apple Calendar

Traditional calendars are built around:

  • Hours and minutes

  • Multiple appointments per day

  • Daily or weekly views

AnnuCal is built around:

  • Days, weeks, and months

  • Long-term structure

  • A single, clear yearly overview

Because of this, you can’t stack multiple time-based events inside the same calendar on one day.

How to handle multiple events on the same day

If you want to represent different events on the same day, simply use multiple calendars.

Example:

  • Business calendar → Meeting

  • Private calendar → Birthday

  • Travel calendar → Flight

  • Project calendar → Milestone

Each calendar can have its own event on the same day, and all of them remain visible together.

Best practice

Think of calendars in AnnuCal as layers:

  • One calendar = one storyline

  • Multiple calendars = multiple perspectives on the same year

This keeps your planning clean, readable, and stress-free.
