I don't see anything here that you can't easily do with google's calendar. You can create multiple calendars, one for routine stuff and one for the exceptions and hide/show them whenever you want.

I think there's a danger in hiding things though, if you don't need to be reminded then maybe just not put it on your calendar (tuesday, eat food, repeats daily.) as soon as you start hiding things you lose much of the benefits of a calendar.

You can create multiple calendars? I've tried in the past, but only "my calendar" would sync to my phone, and the only way for those events to show up on "my calendar" was to import them manually. And there's no way to hide events, or make them disappear and reappear.

I think my use case for calendars is significantly different from most peoples'. I need it to be rotating so I'll forget and remember events which are upcoming. Forgetting and then remembering is key.

On an Android phone: Calendar app, menu button, settings, click on your account name, and then check the calendars you want to sync to your device. Very easy.

With the iPhone you can sync up to 25 Google calendars to your phone. You have to manually include them in the sync preferences though, which many people do not know about.

That's awesome, I've been a heavy user of multiple calendars for a long time and absolutely hated being stuck to a single one. Though it's horrifyingly non-discoverable. Another help file[1] mentions this page though, which you can visit with any browser: https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect

edit: the iphoneselect link seems to be working for me, though my iOS calendar is all kinds of screwed up at the moment, so I can't say if it's 100% bug free or not. I have thousands of repeat birthdays for no reason I can detect, but that was before changing those settings :|
