Calendar, reminders and timers

Your calendar

Ops → Calendar is Starfarer's own calendar: each person's, private to them (the Captain included). It works with no account connected; syncing with Google, Outlook and iCloud calendars comes later.

  • Pick a day to see it and add an event. An event can repeat every day, every weekday, every week, month or year; Remove just this day takes one day of it off without the rest.
  • Coming up, above the month, lists your next events with your timers, alarms and reminders; they also show on their days, in each one's own time zone.
  • Or ask: "put the dentist on my calendar Tuesday at 3", "what's on my calendar tomorrow?", "move the dentist to Friday", "cancel lunch with Kim" (cancelling asks first).

The AI tells you before an event starts (15 minutes before, or what you pick in Ready Room → You → Notifications).

Timers, alarms and reminders

Just say it:

  • "Set a timer for 10 minutes", "a pasta timer for 8 minutes"
  • "Wake me at 6:30", "set an alarm for 7 tomorrow"
  • "Remind me to call the dentist tomorrow at 9", "remind me every morning at 6:30 to take my vitamins"
  • "What timers do I have?", "cancel the pasta timer", "snooze"

A chip under the AI's reply shows what it set, with Cancel.

Where they ring

A timer, alarm or reminder rings:

  • in the room it was set in (on the Satellite or Shuttle there),
  • on your own devices and open Bridge pages,
  • and in the room Starbase last heard you in by your voice (in the last half hour).

Never the rest of the house. In the room it was set in and on your own devices, the AI says all of it ("Kim, time's up: pasta"); anywhere else only who and what kind ("Kim, your timer's done"). An alarm rings every few seconds for up to 10 minutes, a timer for up to 3, a reminder twice.

Anyone can stop it ("stop", "OK", "snooze") on any device it's ringing on, and stopping it anywhere stops it everywhere; if it wasn't yours, you're told who did, in the bell.

A Shuttle shows timers counting down under its clock, the next alarm, and anything ringing.

Timers and alarms always ring, even in your quiet hours.
