You can remove a calendar account from nocal at any time — for example, when you leave a job or stop using a personal account. This guide covers how to disconnect, what happens to your notes, and how to fully revoke nocal's access on Google's or Microsoft's side.
Disconnect an account in nocal
- Open nocal and go to Settings → Accounts.
- Find the account you want to remove.
- Select Remove (or Disconnect).
- Confirm when prompted.
Once removed, that account's events stop appearing on your unified timeline and nocal stops syncing with it.
What happens to your notes
Notes live in nocal, not in your calendar provider, so removing a calendar account doesn't delete your notes. However, notes attached to events from that account may no longer have a matching event to display alongside, since those events are no longer synced.
| Item | What happens on disconnect |
|---|---|
| Calendar events from that account | No longer shown or synced in nocal |
| Notes you wrote | Kept in nocal |
| Folders and pins | Unchanged |
| Other connected accounts | Unaffected |
If you reconnect the same account later, its events return and notes can line back up with the events they reference. You can still find notes from a disconnected account using search.
Revoke access on the provider side
Disconnecting in nocal stops the sync, but for a complete cleanup you can also revoke nocal's authorization with the provider. This removes the OAuth permission you granted during sign-in.
- Google: open your Google Account's third-party access page, find nocal, and remove its access.
- Microsoft: open the apps and services that can access your data page for your Microsoft account and remove nocal. Work or school accounts may be managed by your IT admin instead.
Revoking on the provider side is optional but recommended if you don't plan to use that account with nocal again.
Remove vs. hide
If you only want to stop seeing a calendar — not remove the whole account — you don't need to disconnect. Use the calendar modes instead. Hiding is reversible with a single toggle and keeps the account connected.
| You want to… | Do this |
|---|---|
| Temporarily hide a calendar | Toggle its visibility off |
| Stop syncing one account entirely | Remove the account |
| Fully cut nocal's access | Remove the account and revoke on the provider |
