Calendar

The calendar keeps track of reminders, calls you need to make, meetings, and
birthdays. It can even sound an alarm for any of these events.

Monthly view provides an overview of the selected month and weeks. It also allows
you to jump to a specific date. Any days or dates that appear in bold font contain
calendar notes such as a meeting or reminder.
