Before you connect a calendar to anything, three questions deserve straight answers. What can it see, what can it change, and how do you get rid of it? This video answers all three. Start with the permission screen. Teetrack asks to read your calendars, and that is the only calendar permission on the list. There is no write access, which means Teetrack can't create, move, or delete anything in your Outlook. That isn't a promise from us. It's a permission Microsoft never granted.
Daily review hides the titles of private events. This eleven o'clock is marked private in Outlook. Here it is in my daily review, at the same time and with the same length, and the title says Busy. Anything you flag as private or confidential comes through that way, and it never gets an automatic project suggestion, because a suggestion would mean matching on the title Teetrack just told you it wouldn't show.
There are two honest caveats, and you'd find them anyway. Outlook has a third setting called personal, and Teetrack doesn't treat that one as private. Only private and confidential are hidden. That three o'clock is marked personal, and its title is right there. The second caveat is that the hiding happens in daily review, not everywhere. On the calendar page, the real title is visible. It's your own account on your own screen, but you should know where the line is.
Importing isn't recording. Drafts stay outside your totals. Here is the summary, and it hasn't moved. Confirm one, and now it has. Teetrack is a review queue, not an auto-tracker, and that difference is deliberate.
Getting out takes two buttons. The switch pauses the calendar and keeps everything. Disconnect removes the connection properly, and it takes the drafts you never got around to with it. Every entry you confirmed stays exactly where it is. Your tracked time is yours. The calendar connection was only ever the delivery mechanism.
You can try the basic calendar workflow on the free plan. On the free plan you connect one calendar and you see everything. Your events wait here instead of drafting themselves. Track this creates a draft for one meeting; confirm it to add it to your tracked time. The automatic part is the paid part. The looking is free.
So those are the answers. Teetrack can read your calendar and nothing more, daily review hides private titles, and two buttons take it out again. It's hosted in the E U, the tokens are encrypted, and there are no screenshots and no activity monitoring. There's a free plan at teetrack dot it, and the written guide is in the description. Thanks for watching.
