The Russian company Yandex is a pride for the whole of Russia. In fact, this is the only large IT corporation in the country that can oppose something to software from Google, Apple and Microsoft. Most Russians probably know it from the Yandex Maps map service or the Yandex Mail service. Nevertheless, this techno giant has one extremely useful service that no one knows about, but which everyone should start using.

At the end of 2017, Yandex updated its proprietary service, which, for some mysterious reason, is only known to a few. This is a real "Calendar" with advanced functions for scheduling cases and events. A couple of weeks ago, it underwent a complete redesign with a completely new look that is made in the best spirit of minimalism. This is an incredibly convenient service that helps you plan your business for the day, week or even month in advance. All data is linked to the account, so they will be available on all smartphones, tablets and computers, which are authorized through it.

One of the incredibly useful functions of the Yandex Calendar service is the ability to notify in advance about any planned events in three ways - by mail, via CaiDAV (for software developers) and using SMS messages. It is the last method of notifications about certain events added to the service that most may like most of all, since it will help not to miss an important meeting or a promised call to someone.

Moreover, in the extremely useful service of the Russian company Yandex, you can even select the first day of the week, as well as the start time of the day. For people who work on unusual schedules, this can be incredibly convenient. If necessary, you can send your calendar with planned tasks to colleagues at work, relatives or friends in order to notify them about certain events. On average, it will take about 30-60 minutes to fully base the Calendar service functionality, but then it will be pleasant to use it every day, knowing about every nuance.

It goes without saying that using the Yandex Calendar service is absolutely free, and thanks to the absence of any advertising, it is doubly pleasant to do so. By planning your life at least 1-2 days in advance, you can “unload your head” from unnecessary information quite well, thereby focusing your brain activity on performing some other tasks.

Until August 25, inclusive, everyone has the opportunity to Xiaomi Mi Band 4, spending only 1 minute of their personal time on it.

Join us at

Friends, hello everyone!

In this article, I will compare the following online calendars:

1. Yandex
2. Google
3. Mail.ru
4. Bossnote

To begin with, all the calendars I describe are almost complete copies of each other and the choice of a specific service is a matter of taste and commitment to any of these companies.

In order to use the calendar, you need to register an account in one of the systems. If you already have a Yandex, Google or Mail.ru mail account, just log in and follow the link to the service you need (in these systems, one account allows you to use all the services provided by the company).

As you can see, the design of calendars from different developers is almost the same.

Yandex and Google calendars, I would say, are just twin brothers, similar services Mail.ru and Bossnote differ slightly in interface, but the principle of operation is the same for all (in my opinion, the calendar from Mail.Ru outperforms its competitors in design). We can choose one of the following view modes:

• Day - view your scheduled tasks for the day
• Week - view tasks for the week
• Month - view cases for a month
• google calendar also has 4 days mode, and Bossnote - 5 days and 2 weeks (maybe it will be useful for someone)

By clicking on any day of the week, we create an event that we plan for that day, while we can create a quick event, or edit its other parameters by clicking a special button (in each calendar it is called differently; in the Bossnote calendar, creating a task looks like a pop-up window with tabs.). When going to the details of the event, you can specify the following:

First, the event needs to be named somehow; for this, all calendars, except for Bossnote, have a special field, then we set the time and duration of the event. In all calendars, except for Bossnote, we can indicate the place of the event, Google is especially distinguished in this, here the address can be immediately viewed on Google Maps. We can also mark, by setting a special checkbox, whether our event will be scheduled for the whole day without being tied to any specific time and "repeat" if our event will repeat with any frequency that can also be configured.
A very important feature of all calendars, again except Bossnote, is the event reminder. We can customize how to receive a reminder (pop-up window in the calendar, email, SMS) and how long this reminder will be activated. To receive a reminder by SMS, you must register your mobile phone number in the service and confirm it by entering a special code that will be sent to you in the message.

Also, a very useful function of the leading three calendars is the addition of event participants. We can add the e-mail addresses of those people whom we plan to involve in the task, or simply notify them about the planned event - for this you need to enter the e-mail addresses separated by commas in a special field. After creating an event, a letter will be sent to the addresses added by you in the event, which will contain all the details of the event and an offer to the participant to confirm whether he can take part by clicking on the corresponding link in the letter. If you have deleted or changed an event, all participants receive an email notification of such a change.

In Yandex and Google calendars, it is possible to give participants the rights not only to view the event, but also to edit it and invite other participants. In Google Calendar, we are given the opportunity to mark an event with our own color so that it stands out from other events.

Google and Mail.ru have a very convenient, in my opinion, "Agenda" mode in their calendars, where events are listed in the order of succession, separated by the dates for which they are scheduled.

Another important point is that the Big Three services support the creation of different types of calendars, which means that you can create a work calendar, personal calendar, birthday calendar, calendar of Russian holidays, etc. (moreover, the services already have their own set of calendars for every taste). Each type of calendar can be marked with its own color so that you can distinguish between events, and you can also make it visible and invisible to view only the events you need, which, in my opinion, is very convenient.

The online service Bossnote has gained very few advantages, but its disadvantages are, in some cases, not disadvantages, just the principle of the calendar is slightly different. There are no separate fields for the name and description of the event, just when you create an event, all you need to write about it, you write in a special note. You can also create an all-day event here, for this you need to click on the yellow field at the beginning of each day, while the events you created for the whole day will be fixed at 00:00 of the planned day.

Of course, online calendar services would not be so interesting and useful if they could not be used on a smartphone or tablet, which a modern person always has with him.

The Bossnote service is currently only available on Apple devices (i.e. Macbook, iPad, iPhone), which will automatically alienate Android supporters from this calendar. However, the developers still promise to soon release similar applications for Andriod and Windows.

Yandex, Google and Mail.Ru calendars can be used on all devices, the software of which supports calendar synchronization using the CalDav protocol, while most applications already offer you to log in directly using your Google account, since this system is the most common. Mail.Ru has a special application for Android "Calendar.Mail.Ru", an analogue of the program for iOS is being prepared for release in the near future.

How to sync calendars via CalDav protocol:

Not only an interesting, but also a very useful Service - Yandex Calendar.
After all, it is he who will help you to do everything and remember everything.
Let's go to the Yandex Calendar service in the usual way by going to.

By clicking on the Calendar in the Personal and entertainment section, we get to the page for creating your own calendar.

1. Click on the tab - Create calendar (1)
   2. We remove the inscription My events (2), which is given by the service by default, and write our own version, for example, Work.
   3. Select a color (3) and click the Save button (4)

The created calendar is displayed in the Calendars section (1). By this principle, you can create several more Calendars (for example, Schedule, Sports, Birthdays, etc.)
The checkboxes (2) mark the calendars that you are using at this time, in order to remove the activity, you just need to uncheck the box (tick) opposite the unnecessary calendar.

After Yandex.Calendar is created, you need to fill with events.
To do this, click on the Create event tab (3) and you will be taken to the full event editing page. Fill in all the necessary fields that characterize the event you need - Name, time, participants ... and as a result, you will receive a reminder about the specified event by e-mail 15 minutes before the start.
To change the reminder method, click on + more reminder (4)
And in the proposed list choose the most suitable reminder method and time for you.

After pressing the button Create a, the Event we created will be displayed in Yandex Calendar.

But you can create an event in another way.
By double-clicking in the cell that matches the date and time for Events, a window will open in front of you, where you need to specify the minimum set to be displayed in the Event Calendar

Thus, you can create events in the calendars you need.
At the end of the week, month, we analyze the completed events and, if necessary, we can postpone them to another day. To do this, click on the Event and drag it to another day.
To cancel an Event, left-click on the event and in the pop-up window, select Delete.

At any time, the previously created Yandex Calendar settings can be changed. To do this, click on the Settings button (1) in the calendars section. On the right, make all the necessary edits.

But you can use the Yandex Calendar service not only to display any events.
There is one more section - My Affairs.
To do this, go to the active Calendar link (1) and click on the My to-do button (2).
Now click on the Create List button (3)

In the window that opens, enter a name for the list, for example, Purchases.

And provide a shopping list, for example, Products.
and your cases will be recorded in the specified list.
In order to mark a completed task, it is enough to check the box opposite the task that has already been completed.

But let's see how our planned Cases and Events look on the calendar:

Please note that the to-do list is not time-bound like an Event. The to-do list is tied only to a specific date, which is why the to-do list is located immediately below the date.

Agree that using Yandex Calendar, you can clearly see all the things you have planned, both today and in the future. This will help you organize your day properly.

It was told how to establish synchronization of contacts, incl. using Yandex services. But in addition to working with contacts, it can be very useful to establish calendar synchronization. Thanks to this, you can have your current schedule on all your devices and, thanks to this, do not miss an important event or meeting. Now we will tell you how to synchronize your Yandex calendar in such a way that you can work on the road not only with calendar events, but also with the to-do list. On the Yandex website, this to-do list is available for editing in the mailbox, while the calendar is located on a separate page. However, both of these resources are stored in the same account and can be used on mobile devices when synchronized.

Technical tools to synchronize calendar and to-do list

Calendar entries and tasks are synchronized in the same way that contacts are synchronized. Newer data at the time of synchronization is saved on the devices, and thus the current information is maintained everywhere. While the CardDAV server is usually used for contacts, there is a companion for the calendar and to-do list - the CalDAV server. As you might guess, the three letters Cal is short for Calendar. And such a server is publicly available on Yandex sites. And of course, if you have a desire to use local synchronization, avoiding public servers, then the Baikal server mentioned in the last article allows you to create CalDAV accounts and synchronize them over the network.

Calendar records do not contain a wide variety of fields. Therefore, they usually do not have such a problem as with contacts - the problem of partial incompatibility on different systems. The only stumbling block is android smartphones - they have no means for working with tasks as standard, and also no means for synchronization via DAV servers. Therefore, an android will need to install additional software.

With a Yandex account, you can use the network calendar and tasks using the following software:

In the Windows system, you can work in the emClient application, given the fact that it synchronizes, incl. and contacts. If you don't need contact synchronization, then you can use the completely free one, which, thanks to the Lightning extension, allows you to work with a shared calendar and tasks.

IOS devices are able to work with the CalDAV server by default, so there is no need to implement special calendar programs for them.

There are no completely free solutions for Android smartphones and tablets. The existing CalDAV-Sync Free application does not sync the task list. For such synchronization, you will need to purchase an inexpensive paid version of this program and use it in conjunction with the free OpenTasks application from the same author. The second option is to use another paid app, DAVdroid, which syncs both your to-do calendar and contacts. And you still have to work with the list of tasks in the OpenTasks program, since the standard android calendar does not display the list of tasks. All of the above programs are available in the Play Market.

In any modern browser, you can work with Yandex calendar directly through the web interface. Unlike the contact editor, the web version of Yandex's calendar has full functionality and is quite convenient to use.

Connecting Yandex account on a computer

If you use the emClient email application, then the procedure for setting up Yandex synchronization for this program is described in the previous article (link at the beginning of the article). If you want to use Mozilla Thunderbird, then to use the calendar synchronization feature, you will need to select the "File / New / Calendar" main menu item.

The next step is to choose the option - "Online".

We indicate the type of CalDAV server and its URL - https://caldav.yandex.ru/

At the final stage, you will need to indicate the name.

As a result, the account will be ready to be updated over the network.

At the first session of communication with the server, you will be asked for a login and password to enter.

As a result, all information received from the server will be displayed in the local calendar and task list. You can open them through the "Events and Tasks" menu.

Setting up synchronization on smartphones and tablets

On iPhones and iPads, connecting the calendar account is carried out in the same way as adding an account for contacts. This is done in the "Settings" / "Calendar" section. In the window that appears, select the option "Accounts" / "Add account" / "Other" / "CalDAV account" /. You will need to provide your server login information.

On the android system, you need to use additional applications. If you have synchronized Yandex contacts using the DAVdroid program, then through the same program you can synchronize your calendar and to-do list. It is enough to mark both items “My events” and “Do not forget” in the CalDAV window in the accounting settings. After updating the data over the network, all events from the Yandex calendar will appear in the standard android calendar.

But to access the to-do list, you need to install the free OpenTasks application from the Play Store. This application was created by the author to work in conjunction with the inexpensive CalDAV Sync application. But it also works well when paired with the DAVdroid app.

conclusions

Using free public Yandex servers, you can synchronize your calendar between your PC and other devices - smartphones, tablets, other computers. You can also work with this information through the web interface - all changes made will be saved on devices by synchronizing the Yandex account. Thanks to this, you can significantly increase the level of personal organization. After all, now you don't have to be at the computer to work with your tasks and schedule. Conversely, it is not necessary to edit information on a small smartphone screen. It is much easier and faster to do this on a computer - and it will update automatically on a smartphone.
