Transparent Updates
The Silent Update Problem
All calendars apps refresh silently in the background. While seamless, this silence creates uncertainty leaving you wondering:
When was my last update?
Are these events current?
What exactly changed?
For events that matter, this ambiguity leads to frustration and often, missed events.
Introducing "Last Updated": Bringing Transparency to Calendar Subscriptions
We've built a simple solution to solve this uncertainty: embedding a "Last Updated" timestamp in your calendar events. Now you'll know exactly when your calendar last refreshed, giving you confidence that you are looking at the most recent events.
This feature is automatically turned on for all existing Stanza+ Members.
How It Works
Behind the scenes, your calendar app pings Stanza regularly for event changes. We keep track of when your calendar last pinged us to automatically apply a Last Updated timestamp to every event.
When you open up an event in your calendar, look for the clock emoji (🕒) and timestamp at the bottom of every event description:
Google Connect: If you are a Google Connect user, your calendars are "smart" updated — only when schedule changes are detected. Instead of relying on the Last Updated timestamp in your calendar, get a more accurate read on your Library page with Last Updated.
Why This Matters
Clarity: No more guessing if your calendar is up to date.
Trust: Whether it’s a rescheduled game, a new meeting, or a change in a TV show release, you’ll know you have the most accurate information.
Transparency: We’re not just updating silently; we’re letting you know when it happened.
