Calendars for different purposes

When you first log in to the Yandex Calendar app or site, the system creates your default calendar. You can plan all your events in this calendar, or you can create multiple calendars for specific purposes. For example, one for friend meetups, another for workouts, and a third for your study schedule. You can choose any calendar to be your default one, and new events will always be added to it.

You can view events from selected calendars or all calendars at once. To make them easy to tell apart, select a color for each calendar. For example, set meetings to blue, workouts to purple, and study sessions to yellow.

5. Set up reminders: tap Add notification, then select the time and delivery method. For example, you can receive an email 15 minutes before the event and a push notification on your phone 5 minutes before it starts.
6. If you would like to share your calendar with others, such as your colleagues, but still want to keep adding your personal meetings to it, you can set the visibility of your events. Enable the Participants only option so that only the invited participants can view the event name and details. Other users will only see that you're busy at that time.
