What's New in Sidecar

1.7

August 24, 2026

• NEW: see both your weeks at once. Today opens with a strip showing everyone's shifts side by side, with the days nobody is working lit up — so "are we both free on Saturday?" takes one look, not a hunt. • Mark a shift type as time off in Manage shifts — rest days, leave, holidays — and those days count as free in your week. Names like "Rest day", "RD" and "Public holiday" are recognised for you. • Adding a shift is one tap: pick it and it's on the day, no form to fill in. New types can be created right where you add them, and you can long-press any day in the month to set its shift straight from the grid. • New to shifts? Today now asks for your first one, with a few examples, and one tap takes you straight to adding it. • A long event title no longer trails off with "…" — it slides sideways so you can read the rest. Settings ▸ Display turns that off if you'd rather it stayed still. • The guided tour is gone. Every screen now explains itself where you are, the moment it's empty — no more dimmed walkthrough before you've done anything. "Show the tips again" in Settings ▸ Support brings the prompts back whenever you want them. • Every screen now says where you are, and your sidecar's members sit in the corner as a shortcut to Settings. • On your own in a sidecar? There's an empty seat beside your avatar — tap it to invite someone, any time. • Text is easier to read throughout: hints, timestamps, empty screens, the text inside every input box and the labels on every button. • Twelve clearly different member colours instead of twenty-eight near-identical ones, and colours your housemates already use are shown as taken. Colours you already picked are kept. • Today stands out in your sky theme rather than in blue — on the calendar, your day cards and birthdays — so blue consistently means "you can tap this". • The Month calendar is easier to read at a glance: event names are noticeably larger, the lines between days are gone, and a day with more going on than fits now tells you how many more. • Drag a day's card up in the Month view and the calendar collapses to that week instead of disappearing behind it. • Crisper icons in place of emoji throughout, and the two pin markers on a list now match the menu that sets them. Birthdays keep their cake. • Tap the arrow on any birthday to see its reminders, who it's shared with, and an Edit button — without leaving the list. • The "Lists" tab is now called "To-dos" — it never said what was in it, and it competed with Shopping, which is also a list. • Press and hold one of the suggested items above the "Add item" box to remove ones you no longer buy. • The weekly shift overview on Today can be switched off in Settings ▸ Display. • Fixed: changing the date of a shift used to leave a copy behind on the old day.

Sidecar Shared Calendar Review

I’ve been looking for a highly customisable calendar I can use with my kids (who live elsewhere) and partner. This is fantastic and easy to use. Hopefully the next version will be integrated into Alexa and GoogleHome !
