One Box Entry



Type your events in the One Box and press Add.

Try a few samples:

* lunch thursday 1pm
* meeting 1/19 2-3pm repeat weekly (bring laptop)
* run sunday 10am repeat weekly

We will turn your statements into events on your calendar.

For example, you have a birthday party this Sunday at noon. You want to remember to bring a gift. You can type:

* Birthday Party Sunday 12pm (bring a gift)

In general, we suggest using a rough format of:

* event date time (notes)

Adding Events

Prioritize an event by adding an asterisk in the One Box. This will add a star icon Star and put it at the top of your event list.

Example:
* big meeting * (be on time)

Adding the word "private" to the One Box will mark an event with a lock icon Lock and the event is not shared with anyone unless you send an invitation for that specific event.

Example:
* doctor's appointment private

Simple repeats of weekly, monthly, and yearly will be recognized.

Example:
* Run sunday 10am (meet at park) repeat weekly
* rent due repeat monthly

Repeats can have an end date too!

* Yoga 4/2 repeat weekly until 6/1
* poker night every thursday through 4/6

To get reminder notifications type the keyword remind and then a space. You will get a drop-down menu.

Example:
* meeting 1pm remind in 15 minutes

Add by email! From a registered email address you can forward any email to: add AT 30boxes.com and we'll use the subject as your One Box entry and then attach the body of the email to that date. Great for things like airline reservations.

Easter Eggs and Hidden Functionality

If you type the word birthday and variants in the One Box, you will be asked if you want that event to repeat yearly.

Using certain tags can let you change the color of your events. In the One Box typing tag blue will make that event text blue. Other acceptable colors are: navy, maroon, purple, green, red, teal, magenta, olive, lime, orange, aqua, yellow.
