Google Calendar

Fetch your Google Calendar events for a given day.

Usage

Fetch today’s meetings:

swelog fetch google-calendar

Backfilling

To backfill a previous date, provide MM-DD-YYYY:

swelog fetch google-calendar --date 08-17-2026

--yesterday does the same for the day before:

swelog fetch google-calendar --yesterday

For last Friday, use --last-friday instead of working out the date:

swelog fetch google-calendar --last-friday

Output

The generated section contains your meetings for the day, ordered by start time.

Limitations

Swelog only reads the primary calendar of the account that authorized.

To record a different account’s calendar, authorize as that account instead. See Switching accounts.

Switching accounts

Clear the stored authorization and fetch again:

swelog auth clear google-calendar
swelog fetch google-calendar

The next fetch starts a new browser authorization flow, where you can pick a different Google account.
