Part of Calendar + Reminders (2027) from The Motherload Planner

Your 2027 Phone Calendar

The reminder part of your planner, delivered to the calendar you already look at. Only the Look Ahead dates show up here, and you set the alerts. Always.

Heads Up Emails start in January 2027. They're tied to the same Look Ahead dates and land in your inbox ahead of time.

How it works

You subscribe once. Then, about a month before each big date, a single all-day note lands on your calendar, things like “Reminder: St. Patrick’s Day Look Ahead.” The actual holiday doesn’t clog your calendar. Only the thinking-ahead part shows up, which is the part that actually helps.

The calendar ships with no alerts baked in. That's on purpose: you choose if and when your phone buzzes (instructions below), and you can change your mind anytime.

Get it on your calendar

Apple Calendar (iPhone, iPad, Mac)

One tap. Your device asks you to confirm, and that's it.

Add to Apple Calendar

Google Calendar (Android, desktop)

One tap adds it straight to your Google account.

Add to Google Calendar

Outlook

  1. Sign in to Outlook on the web and open your calendar.
  2. Click Add calendar, then Subscribe from web.
  3. Paste the calendar link (copy it below) and hit Import.

On the Outlook phone app? Subscribe on the web first. It syncs to the app on its own.

Skylight, Hearth, and other family wall calendars

Copy the calendar link. In the Skylight app: menu, then Synced Calendars, then Sync new calendar, then paste. Same idea for any device that takes a calendar URL.

Just the file

Download the .ics to preview everything right now, or import it the old-fashioned way. (Imports don't update themselves. Subscriptions do.)

Set your alerts (the important part)

Google Calendar

  1. Find the calendar in your list (it's called “Motherload 2027 Phone Calendar”).
  2. Tap the three dots next to it, then Settings.
  3. Under Notifications, pick what you want: email the day before, a buzz at 9 AM, nothing at all. Your call.

Apple Calendar

  1. Open Settings, then Calendar, then Default Alert Times.
  2. Set "All-Day Events" to whatever you'd like, maybe 9 AM the day before.
  3. If you're already subscribed and change this later, remove and re-add the calendar so the new default applies.

Outlook

  1. After subscribing, open the calendar's settings.
  2. Choose your reminder default for that calendar.
