Field notes
The page describes filters for declined, all-day, and “free” events, with an option to show reminders only for meetings that include a video link. Multiple Google accounts can be connected, and the site says an event on two calendars will still trigger only once. Veil is presented as read-only: it can view calendar events but cannot change them, and the site says event data is not written to disk.
