Pause or end a sync

Both are available any time directly in the dashboard on the sync in question. The difference lies in what happens to the blocker events.

Pausing — blockers stay

• Sync stops; the existing blockers in the target remain. Handy when you don’t need the sync for a while.
• On resume, Kalender Sync fully reconciles the state — everything that changed during the pause is carried over.
• For a two-way sync (sync your own calendars), both directions are always paused and resumed together.
• Before pausing, a short dialog asks for the reason — it helps us improve the product.

Paused automatically?

Syncs can also be paused without your doing: at the end of the trial or after a cancellation, when they exceed the Free plan’s limit. They are not deleted — after an upgrade they resume automatically. Details: Trial and Plans & limits.

The plan limit also applies to manual resuming: on Free you can’t keep two syncs effectively active by pausing them alternately.

Ending — blockers are cleaned up

• The sync ends permanently; all blockers created by Kalender Sync in the target are removed automatically. Your original events remain untouched, of course.
• The cleanup runs in the background: until the blockers have disappeared from all calendars, it can take a few minutes up to hours — depending on the number of events and the calendar provider’s pace.
• For sharings (shared syncs), either side can end it: you as the sender from the dashboard, the receiving side under “Shared with me” → “End”.
• Ending can’t be undone — but a new sync is set up in under a minute. (That’s currently also the way to change settings like visibility → Known limitations.)
