aCalendar features intuitive, interactive date and time pickers to help you quickly set appointment times. Instead of typing numbers manually, you can use the built-in mini calendar and clock wheel interface.

Setting the Time with the Analog Clock
Tapping on the time field opens a graphical clock wheel widget for precise time selection:
✓
Set Hours
Drag the clock hand or tap on the ring to select the hour. In 24-hour mode, inner and outer circles represent daytime and nighttime hours.
✓
Set Minutes
Once the hour is selected, the clock wheel automatically switches to minute selection. Drag the hand to select the exact minute.
Tip: You can set default appointment durations and notification alarms in aCalendar Menu → Settings → Event defaults and editor.
