Question 1

What is Smart Calendar and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Smart Calendar is an AI-powered personal assistant app for Android that combines calendar management, voice-activated reminders, automatic expense tracking, and location-based alerts into one unified interface. It uses advanced AI (OpenAI, Claude, or on-device Ollama) to understand natural language commands. Simply speak commands like 'Kiro, remind me to buy milk when I'm near the grocery store' or 'Schedule a meeting with John tomorrow at 3 PM' and the AI handles everything automatically.

Question 2

Is Smart Calendar free to download and use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Smart Calendar is completely free to download and use. The app offers a generous free tier with all core features including voice commands, calendar management, basic reminders, and finance tracking. Premium features are available through Pro ($4.99/month) and Family ($9.99/month) subscription tiers for users who want advanced AI capabilities, unlimited location reminders, and priority support.

Question 3

Does Smart Calendar work offline without internet?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Smart Calendar has robust offline capabilities. The custom 'Kiro' wake word detection works completely offline. When using Ollama for on-device AI processing, all voice commands and AI features work without internet. Calendar viewing, local reminders, and basic features are always available offline. Only cloud AI features (OpenAI, Claude) require internet connectivity.

Question 4

What platforms and devices does Smart Calendar support?

Accepted Answer

Smart Calendar is currently available for Android devices running Android 8.0 (Oreo) or higher. The app is optimized for both phones and tablets. iOS support is planned for Q2 2026. The app requires approximately 25MB of storage and works best with 2GB+ RAM for optimal AI performance.

Question 5

How does the voice assistant feature work?

Accepted Answer

Smart Calendar features a custom wake word 'Kiro' that activates the voice assistant hands-free. Once activated, you can speak natural language commands like 'Schedule a dentist appointment next Tuesday at 2 PM', 'Remind me to call mom when I get home', or 'How much did I spend on groceries this month?'. The AI understands context, handles follow-up questions, and provides spoken responses through text-to-speech.

Question 6

What are location-based reminders and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

Location-based reminders use GPS geofencing to trigger alerts when you arrive at or leave specific locations. You can set reminders for named places (home, work, gym), generic categories (any grocery store, any pharmacy, any gas station), or custom locations with adjustable radius. For example, 'Remind me to buy milk when I'm near any grocery store' will alert you whenever you're close to any supermarket. The feature is battery-optimized and respects your privacy.

Question 7

How does automatic expense tracking work?

Accepted Answer

Smart Calendar's AI automatically parses bank SMS notifications to detect and categorize transactions. When you receive a text from your bank about a purchase, the app extracts the amount, merchant, and category automatically. You can also add expenses via voice ('I spent $50 on lunch') or manually. The app provides budget tracking with customizable alerts (e.g., notify at 80% of budget), spending analytics, category breakdowns, and monthly reports.

Question 8

Is my data private and secure with Smart Calendar?

Accepted Answer

Privacy is a core principle of Smart Calendar. When using Ollama for on-device AI, all processing happens locally on your phone - no data is sent to external servers. For cloud AI options, only the specific command is sent for processing. Financial data from SMS parsing is stored locally and never uploaded. The app is open source, so you can verify the code yourself on GitHub. We don't sell user data or show ads.

Question 9

What AI models does Smart Calendar support?

Accepted Answer

Smart Calendar supports multiple AI backends: OpenAI (GPT-4, GPT-3.5), Anthropic Claude, and Ollama for local on-device processing. Ollama allows you to run open-source models like Llama and Mistral directly on your device for complete privacy. You can switch between AI providers in settings based on your preferences for speed, accuracy, privacy, or cost.

Question 10

How do I download and install Smart Calendar?

Accepted Answer

You can download Smart Calendar directly from our GitHub releases page. Download the APK file, enable 'Install from unknown sources' in your Android settings if prompted, and install the app. The download is approximately 25MB. Google Play Store availability is coming soon. Visit https://github.com/GPT-Calendar/smart-calendar/releases for the latest version.

Question 11

What makes Smart Calendar different from Google Calendar or other apps?

Accepted Answer

Smart Calendar is unique because it combines 5 separate app categories into one: calendar, reminders, task manager, finance tracker, and voice assistant. Unlike Google Calendar, it offers true natural language understanding, location-based reminders for generic places (any store, not just specific addresses), automatic expense tracking from SMS, on-device AI for privacy, and a custom wake word for hands-free operation. It's also open source and doesn't rely on advertising.

Question 12

Can Smart Calendar sync with Google Calendar or other calendars?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Smart Calendar supports calendar synchronization. You can import events from and export to Google Calendar, Outlook, and other calendar services that support standard calendar formats. Two-way sync ensures your events stay updated across all your devices and calendar apps.
