Standard Mode

Standard is PrimeCal's default Experience Mode. Everything is visible. (Earlier versions called it Production; nothing about it has changed except the name.)

What's Available​

  • Full Calendar workspace — Day, Week, Month, Agenda, 3 days, Work week, and Now views, calendar groups, and creating/editing both events and calendars. The calendar opens on the default view you chose.
  • Full Tasks workspace — the complete board, labels, due dates, and the Focus Sessions timer.
  • Full navigation — Search, the More menu, notifications, and your profile menu.
  • Automation, External Sync, AI Agents, Personal Logs, and booking links.
  • People groups and calendar sharing.

When To Use It​

Standard is the right mode for almost all day-to-day use — anytime you want full access to everything PrimeCal offers, including the advanced tools like Automation or External Sync.

Switching To Standard​

From Focus, Planner, or Simple, open the mode selector pill in the header and choose Standard — the switch is instant, no PIN required. From Kid Mode, a grown-up must enter the Kid Mode PIN from the shell's Back to grown-up view button; see Kid Mode.

Best Practices​

  • Stay in Standard for anything involving Automation, External Sync, or AI Agents — those aren't visible in Focus, Simple, or Kid Mode.
  • If task labels or due-date detail disappeared, check whether you're in Focus mode — see Focus Mode.
  • If the calendar suddenly opens on a different view than you set as your default, check your mode — Planner, Focus, and Simple each open on a view of their own.
  • Standard is the safest mode to leave a device in when it isn't being handed to a child.
