Feature Request: Cross-Account Calendar Grouping

Title: Enable Custom Calendar Groups for Enhanced Organization

Problem:

Users with multiple calendars across various accounts (e.g., Google, Outlook, Apple) struggle with cluttered sidebars and inefficient context switching. Manually toggling many individual calendars to focus on "work," "personal," or specific projects is time-consuming and lacks a higher-level organizational structure.

Proposed Solution:

Introduce a "Calendar Groups" feature allowing users to:

1. Create Custom Groups: Define groups like "Work," "Personal," "Client X," "Project Y."

2. Assign Calendars Flexibly: Add any connected calendar (from any account) to one or more custom groups.

3. Toggle Group Visibility: Easily show/hide all calendars within a group with a single click in the sidebar.

4. Enhance Workflow: Integrate group selection into event creation and potentially quick filters for focused views.

How it Works:

Users would access a new section in settings or the calendar sidebar to create, name, and populate these groups with their existing connected calendars. Toggling a group would affect the visibility of all assigned calendars simultaneously.

Benefits:

  • Superior Organization: Reduces clutter and improves navigation

  • for users with many calendars.

* Efficient Context Switching: Quickly switch between different "modes" (e.g., work focus, personal focus) with one click.

*

Streamlined Management: Simplifies event creation and filtering by organizing calendars logically.

* Increased Adaptability: Better supports complex setups with multiple accounts and diverse responsibilities.

* Enhanced Focus: Provides clearer, more relevant calendar views when needed.

Example Use Case:

A freelancer manages a personal Google Calendar, a client's Outlook calendar, and a project-specific Apple calendar. They create groups like "Personal" (Google, Apple) and "Client Work" (Outlook, specific Apple calendar) to instantly view relevant events without manual toggling.

    Can I have this version of my request deleted? For some reason the renderer on the mobile site (at least on Brave) is broken but doesn't render the content of the text box properly.
