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.
