[mpfau]

As a user i want to be able to install a tuta calendar widget on the homescreen so that i can see upcomming events without opening the app.

AC

• A widget for each calendar view is availble for installation.
• The widget contains a button to create a new event.
• There is an option to select the calendars that are available.

Notes

We should introduce this after we have released the calendar app.

Updated Discussion
As a user of a mobile app i want to be able to add a calendar widget on the home-screen of my device so i can see the next upcoming events.

AC v1
Widget Configuration

• User can chose a account to fetch data from
• User can chose which calendars to display the events

Layout
We support different sizes:

• Android, re-sizable with minimum 3x2 (width/height)
• iOS, 4x4 (width/height)
• The vertical layout is applied for
  • iOS 4x4 and 2x2
  • All layouts that are not Android 4x2
• The widget should display the day number, month
• We show all the upcoming events of the current day including all day events.
  • All day events are summarized at the top to avoid using too much space.
    • When there is only one day event the event title is shown
    • When there are multiple all day events only the amount of all day events are shown.
  • On Android,: The list of upcomming events should be scrollable.
  • On iOS: Have a text on the bottom if there's more events (iOS doesn't support scrolling)
• There should be a button to create a new event.
  • Button should be hidden if the device is too narrow, prioritizing displaying information.

Interactions

• When user clicks on the day the app opens the agenda view
• When user clicks an event it should open the agenda view and open the event preview.
• If user taps add button, opens the app on the Event Editor
• The data should update automatically.

Really in need for this feature as well!

Yes! I want this feature a lot!

I agree!

Definitely agree! It would be amazing to have the ability to integrate the tutanota calendar with linux, ios, and android operating systems rather than having to go into the email client first. I hope this one comes to fruition!

Hello, an integration into various systems would require something like webdav sync but that's not e2e-encrypted (see here).
When this comes, i expect it to be implemented into the email client (or call it email+calendar client? ;) ). I think it also depends on the offline mode to be more useful.

Here is what it can look like. It can be bit tricky to implement, if you are gonna add the fingerprint/pin security feature too. Maybe the widget won't show the event details when you click on it, but it will open the app and require you to authenticate.

If a contact and calendar providers (as discussed in #1066) are implemented, one could use any calendar widget (like the one provided out of the box with most smartphones). It would also unlock other use cases like dialer integration, the possibility to add or join a Jitsi Meet link associated to a meeting, the ability to see one's contacts in other messaging apps like Signal, etc. Maybe these contact and calendar providers should be optionally activated so that the most security concerned persons could leave it deactivated though.

YES! As mentioned in #1066 , the option to integrate contacts and calendars is critical. Encryption and privacy should always be an option, even an easy option, but not a mandate. Of course, a long term goal of e2ee for all information is great. But there is always the trade-off of ease of use and security. And as of now, Tutanota is forcing me to choose full security at a high cost of ease of use, and I choose otherwise.
