Calendar and meetings

Lettuce can mirror your calendar into the vault, so your days, meetings, and the people in them become notes you can link, annotate, and prep against — all in plain Markdown.

Calendar mirror

Your macOS Calendar already bridges Google, iCloud, and Exchange accounts. Lettuce mirrors it into a Calendar/ folder — one note per day — giving you an agenda you can annotate inline.

Enable it in Settings → Calendar (a one-time permission prompt). Mirroring runs while Lettuce is open.

Write-back (optional)

With write-back on, the day note isn’t just a read-only mirror:

Write-back is conflict-safe and never deletes events. Recurring and all-day events are read-only — edit those in Calendar itself.

Detail notes

Wikilink an event in a day agenda to promote it to a dedicated note. Lettuce creates Calendar/Events/<title>.md, a place to hold the agenda, notes, and outcomes for that single meeting — and it backlinks to the day it came from.

Recurring → rolling notes

A recurring series gets one rolling note instead of a note per occurrence. Each time the meeting recurs, Lettuce prepends a new dated section at the top and carries unchecked - [ ] action items forward from the previous occurrence — so nothing falls through the cracks between weekly syncs.

Meeting prep

Detail and rolling notes list attendees as [[wikilinks]]. That connects the meeting to each person’s People/CRM note, so you arrive with context on who’s in the room. Combined with the carried-forward action items and the visible history of prior occurrences, the note becomes a genuine prep surface — open it before the call and you have agenda, people, and open items in one place.

Today note

Your Today note (the daily note) brings it together: opened fresh, it transcludes the day’s agenda above a live rollup of tasks due today (and overdue), with room to write below. It’s a real note — see Core concepts/10 Tasks and to-dos.

The morning briefing

Your default Morning digest doesn’t make a separate note — it folds a short AI briefing (what changed across the vault, plus a gentle suggestion) into a ## Briefing section at the top of your Today note, above the agenda and what’s due. So one note is your whole morning, and the toolbar’s Open button shows a dot when a new briefing has landed. The merge never touches your own ## Notes. Named, folder-scoped digests still write their own dated note. See the automation docs to schedule it.
