View calendar data all at once in our favorite Calendar App

The Bearable calendar functionality is great, but you can only view short term data all at once. Please create a feed, where we can sync/import our bearable calendar data into, Google or Apple Calendar.

This would allow for us to: 1. Share our current calendar with our spouse, doctor, friends or family in real time. 2. View a week, month or years worth of information at a glance. 3. Add or edit the calendar directly from our desktop, pad, or mobile device. 4. Print records as we see fit. 5. Customize the calendars in numerous other ways.

This would benefit the bearable community greatly, and would not be difficult to implement. Basically just creating a calendar feed in one of the common formats ex. ical. And it can be kept as a one way sync to keep it easy on the developers. Meaning when we add content to the bearable calendar it syncs to the google calendar, but not in the other direction.

    I think there is a way you are using your calendar that I’m unaware of and hope to get clarification before up-voting.

    I’m opening the calendar on the home screen and can see it offers daily scores for mood and symptoms, plus the ability to narrow your data. I’m not sure this is the data that you want to export, but please correct me if I’m wrong.

    I can see exporting individual entries with a time stamp, like moods, to a calendar, but am not sure I’d ever want all of it. It would take over my calendar (thankfully its in the past) and would expose plenty that I don’t want to show to most people.

    The thing is, let’s say we want to share to Google Calendar. What it can do is create a new Calendar, which in the Google Calendar app, you can set privacy settings to (who can view it, etc), and you can toggle it on or off by hitting the checkmark next to it on your Calendar List. The same way you can view or hide Holidays, Family shared calendars, etc with a single checkmark click.

    That way, the Bearable calendar can be right there ready to see, but easy to hide for when you don’t. And you can have it private but invite specific people to see it if you want, or just keep it “only me,” etc.

    My “Sleep As Android” app does it this way. After I synced it with Google Calendar, it created a new Calendar called “Sleep”, which I could change the color of in Google Calendar’s options. Then I simply toggle it on or off if I want to see it. And in the Description (or Notes, whatever it’s called), it includes details of my sleep data, including a converted graph to show my general sleep phases (using text symbols, very clever!).

    If a good means of summarizing things can be found, then Bearable’s calendar entries can put the relevant details in the Description/Notes section of the “event.”

    (Or, timestamped/time period events CAN be added as individual “events”, depending on how they’d feel like doing it. Which WOULD get more cluttered, but easier to see what happened when, what your mood was while you were doing scheduled things in your day, etc. BUT, even just one solid “All Day” entry with all the info in Notes/Description would be a less cluttered means of summarizing the day.)
