What it does
Once you’ve connected a calendar, beanies can give you a gentle heads-up when a family activity lands at the same time as something already on that calendar — a work meeting, an appointment, anything beanies can’t otherwise see. It’s a subtle nudge on the planner, not an error or a blocker.
It reads only when, never what
To find a clash, beanies asks your calendar for just the start and end times of your events — using a request that lists times only and leaves out the title, notes, location, and guests. None of that content is ever requested or read, so it never reaches beanies. The check runs from your device straight to your own Google account, never passes through a beanies server, and nothing is saved.
beanies also recognises its own synced activities and skips them, so it never warns you about a clash with itself. Events you’ve marked as “free” (like some birthdays or public holidays) don’t count as a clash either.
Quieting an overlap
Some overlaps are completely expected, and you don’t need to be reminded every time. Open the activity and tap “This is OK” — the warning shrinks to a small quiet mark, and that choice is remembered for your whole family across devices. Changed your mind? Open it again and tap Undo. Nothing is ever deleted: because a clash is worked out from live calendar data, beanies keeps the mark so a real conflict can never be hidden for good. And if you later reschedule the activity to a new time, the warning quietly comes back — so a brand-new overlap still gets your attention.
Turning it on or off
The warning is on by default once a calendar is connected. Turn it off any time in Settings → Google Calendar — the warnings disappear and beanies stops reading your event times.
beanies never writes anything to your calendar. The clash warning is read-only and reads only your events’ times, never their content — a heads-up, nothing more.
