A bar across the top of the calendar allows you to filter out other distracting portions of your life and focus on only what you want. When creating new events, you’re able to attach all kinds of useful information or you can create a template and use it over and over. Rescheduling an event is as easy as dragging and dropping it into a new location. The Grid also includes natural language entry, time zone support, search, and the ability to share events.
