Publishing

The private event store is not your real calendar. That separation keeps an agent from creating, moving, or deleting live calendar data just because it inferred a plan from conversation. Publishing opts in per destination, and both are off by default.

Apple Calendar

# ~/.memcal/.env
MEMCAL_PUBLISH_CALENDAR=memcal

memcal ical setup

Publishes confirmed memcal events to a dedicated Apple Calendar.

Apple Reminders

# ~/.memcal/.env
MEMCAL_PUBLISH_REMINDERS=memcal

memcal reminders setup --yes

Publishes due tasks to a Reminders list.

Both destinations are editable from the web UI's Settings tab under Writing back out, and like every outward-write setting they read this store's .env plus the environment — never the checkout or working-directory files. Publishing is idempotent: changes update the matching item, withdrawn rows retract it, and disabled publishing performs no external writes. Calendar and Reminders require separate macOS permissions.
