Our most popular Questions
Month Minder needs an Alexa device with a screen, such as any Echo Show. It shows your calendar on screen, so it won't work on speakers without a display.
Google Calendar (including Google Workspace), Microsoft Outlook, Hotmail and Microsoft 365, and iCloud or any other calendar that can share a public calendar link.

In the Alexa app, go to Month Minder and choose Disable Skill. You can also remove access from your Google or Microsoft account settings at any time, or turn off Public Calendar on iCloud.
Close Month Minder and open it again to refresh. iCloud calendar links can take a little while to show new events, because Apple updates shared calendars every so often. Also check the event is in the calendar account you linked.
Say "Alexa, close", or tap the Close button at the top of the screen. "Alexa, stop" works too.
Month Minder is currently available in the UK and Ireland, and is coming soon to the US, Canada and Australia.
