# Calendar Sync and Planning

> Keep an Orrique Diary calendar updated, choose privacy details, and plan a fragrance for an upcoming event without saving a wear early.

Calendar Sync writes saved Diary wears to an **Orrique Diary** calendar. Calendar Planning separately reads selected upcoming events and suggests a wearable scent from your collection.

Pro

> **Pro: Orrique Pro.**
> Automatic Calendar Sync, Calendar Planning, and diary calendar-file export require Orrique Pro. Full backup, restore, and CSV tools remain available to everyone.

## Sync saved wears to Calendar

1. Open **Settings**, then **Calendar & Planning**.
2. Turn on **Sync diary to Calendar**.
3. Allow full Calendar access when the device asks.
4. Choose **Names and diary details**, **Scent names only**, or **Private title**.
5. Tap **Sync Now** when you want to push the current Diary immediately.

Each saved Diary entry becomes an all-day event in the Orrique Diary calendar. Deleting a known Diary entry removes its synced event. Use **Advanced**, then **Reset Calendar Sync** if the Orrique Diary calendar was removed or needs to be rebuilt.

## Plan a future wear

1. In **Calendar & Planning**, turn on Calendar Planning.
2. Choose the calendars and wearable formats Orrique may use.
3. Add ignored event words when titles such as pickups or rota entries should not produce suggestions.
4. Open an upcoming suggestion from Settings or the **Calendar ahead** deck on Today.
5. Review the selected scent, alternates, event evidence, and optional mood intent.
6. Tap **Plan Wear**.

A future event keeps one planned wear for that event occurrence. When notifications are allowed, Orrique schedules a reminder with **Log Wear** and **Dismiss** actions. Planning does not add anything to your Diary until you save the later log.

When an event has already started, the planning sheet offers **Log Wear** instead. The draft uses the event date and carries the event title into the moment field.

## Privacy and device behavior

- The privacy level controls how much of the saved Diary entry Calendar can display.
- Planning reads event title, date, source, and location text when your device provides them.
- Weather uses the forecast for your current device area. Orrique does not geocode the event location. The suggestion sheet credits the forecast provider (Apple Weather, with a link to Apple's data sources page, or Open-Meteo).
- Mood intent is an optional planning score. It is only saved if you later save a Diary entry.
- Calendar and notification permissions are granted separately on each device, even when supported preferences sync through iCloud.

If full Calendar access is denied, unavailable, or limited to write-only access, planning cannot read upcoming events. Orrique explains the missing permission in Settings.

## Export a manual calendar file

For a one-time snapshot, open **Settings**, **Backup & Export**, then use Calendar Export. Choose all-day, logged-time, or fixed-time events, select the privacy detail level, and export the `.ics` file. This does not keep future Diary changes in sync.

> **Moved or canceled events.**
> A moved event updates its planned wear. A canceled or deleted event removes the associated plan when Calendar refreshes.
