What the sky can do — almanacs, settings & more

Beyond single commitments, ask the sky — the calendar's AI assistant — can manage your almanacs — your calendars, each a named, coloured layer of commitments — and what feeds them. It can also change settings, move around the calendar, open screens and keep the journal. As with commitments — anything on your calendar — it does what the buttons do and refuses what they refuse.

#Almanacs

• List your almanacs — each one, how many commitments it holds, and whether it is the active one, hidden, archived or fed from a phone calendar.
• Make a new almanac — empty, in the next colour. Three of your own are free; more is (Gold). The almanacs that came with the app don't count.
• Choose where new commitments land — set the active almanac. A locked, archived or read-only one is refused.
• Change an almanac — rename, recolour or describe it; lock or unlock it; archive or unarchive it (nothing is lost); move it up or down in the order; change its mark (the small symbol or picture it wears), its look, how much warning its reminders give, its evening-before bell and its sound.
• Eclipse an almanac — hide it from the calendar, or bring it back. Nothing is deleted.
• Drop an almanac — delete it with every commitment, its material (the files attached to it) and its pictures. The last almanac always stays. This is destructive.

#What feeds them

• List the phone's own calendars — every calendar account on the phone, whether it can take commitments or is read only, and which almanac it feeds. Without calendar access, it points you to where you grant it.
• Link an almanac to a phone calendar — let that calendar feed an existing almanac. One calendar feeds one almanac, so moving it from another almanac needs your yes first.
• Unlink it — only the feed stops. The almanac keeps everything, and nothing is removed from the phone's calendar. An almanac set to travel — moved into a Google calendar in your own account — must stop travelling on its own page first. This is destructive.
• Change the feed — whether edits go back, whether Zenith's own detail goes with them, whether the almanac is carried in your Drive, and whether it shows to the rest of the phone.
• Look for almanacs from your other devices — it lists what is waiting in your Drive, but makes nothing. Each one becomes an almanac only when you tap "make it an almanac" yourself.
• Take an almanac off Drive or stop its travel — it asks whether to bring the commitments home or leave them in Google. This is destructive.
• Re-read the phone's calendars — refresh what feeds your almanacs. No network, no Drive.
• Export an almanac (Gold) — put it on the Shuttle — the suite's shared tray for passing text and files between Zenith apps — or open the screen to save it as a Zenith file or a plain calendar file.

#Settings

• Read your settings — every setting, bell and whether Gold is yours.
• Change a setting — any setting or bell, by asking. A number out of range is refused and nothing changes. Gold choices are gated the same way as on the settings page; switching something off, or choosing the free option, is always allowed.

Two settings are special. The sky can switch "allow destructive actions" off, but only you can switch it on, in Settings › ask the sky. And turning "zenith ai in this app" off stops other Zenith apps from acting on this calendar at once.

#Moving and opening

• Go to a view — year, years, day, week, month or today, on a date you name. It can also go back, go home, or open tomorrow, the Shuttle, settings, the legend (the row of almanac chips you tap to show or hide them) or the binder (the page where all your almanacs live).
• Open the exact screen — for what only you can finish: the new-commitment form (you fill it in and tap "place it"), a commitment's or almanac's pages, a settings page, connections, the phone's sync settings, a widget or the tile, a support email (left unsent), or a policy.

#The journal

• Write in the journal — about a day or a commitment.
• List, read and edit entries — including an entry's earlier versions.
• Send an entry to Zenith Mind.
• Forget entries — one entry, the list, or every entry file. This is destructive.

The sky never opens the journal screen itself.

#Destructive actions

Dropping an almanac, unlinking one, taking one off Drive or stopping its travel, and forgetting journal entries are all destructive. They are refused while "allow destructive actions" is off. With it on, the sky still asks "allow it?" each time. See Safety, consent & destructive actions.
