Connecting a calendar is optional — meeting recording works without it. What it adds is context: notes that arrive already named, attendee lists that pre-fill speaker labels, and a prompt that appears because a meeting is scheduled rather than because OpenWhispr heard something.

​
Connect it

1

Open Integrations

Click Integrations in the sidebar, then the Calendar section.
2

Connect

Choose Connect Google Calendar and sign in with the Google account whose calendar you want. You’ll be asked to approve access in your browser.
3

Choose which calendars count

Sync primary calendar only ignores events from calendars other people have shared with you. Leave it on if colleagues’ calendars would otherwise fill your list with meetings you’re not in.
You can connect more than one account — Add another calendar repeats the process. The panel shows the Google Calendar card with a Connected badge, one row per connected account showing its email address, and the Sync primary calendar only switch.

​
What it changes

​
System audio still needs its own permission

Connecting a calendar doesn’t give OpenWhispr the ability to hear the other people on the call. That’s a separate operating-system permission, and the integration panel will say so — “To transcribe meetings, OpenWhispr needs the System Audio permission to capture other participants” — with an Open System Settings button. Capturing both sides of the call walks through it per platform.

​
Disconnecting

In the same panel, hover over the row showing the account’s email address. A small unlink icon appears at the right-hand end of that row — click it. Nothing on the panel is labelled “Disconnect”, and the icon stays invisible until you hover, so the row looks like it has no controls at rest. You’ll then be asked to confirm, and that dialog is labelled Disconnect. Afterwards that calendar stops producing meeting prompts and stops filling in titles and attendees; notes you already recorded are untouched.
Disconnecting is the right move if you connected a work account and are leaving, or if you’d rather OpenWhispr didn’t read a calendar at all. It doesn’t disable meeting recording — the microphone-based prompt and the Meeting Mode Hotkey keep working.
