Overview
A Google Calendar-style interface inside Obsidian. Reads events from daily notes, tasks, and external ICS feeds (Google, Outlook, iCloud) in weekly or monthly views. It helps when dated notes or events need a calendar view inside the vault. The practical value is a repeatable workflow that remains visible in ordinary Markdown or Obsidian's own interface, rather than an isolated feature added without a plan.
How to Install Full Calendar
- 1Open Obsidian Settings, select Community plugins, and confirm Restricted mode is disabled.
- 2Search the community catalog for Full Calendar, install it, and enable it.
- 3Open the plugin settings and review its defaults before using it on existing notes.
- 4Test the workflow in a copied note or disposable vault, then inspect the resulting files.
How to Use Full Calendar
Start with a local calendar and one event source. Create an event, confirm which note and properties were written, then add read-only external calendars only when you understand how each source is represented.
When Full Calendar Helps
It helps when dated notes or events need a calendar view inside the vault.
A Safe First Workflow
Start with a local calendar and one event source. Create an event, confirm which note and properties were written, then add read-only external calendars only when you understand how each source is represented.
Limits and Checks
- External calendar behavior depends on the configured source, and a calendar view should not be treated as the only copy of important scheduling data.
- Keep a recoverable vault backup before enabling automation or bulk changes.
