Termin-Kalender: Appointments & Team Organization – without the chaos.

== Description ==

## Termin-Kalender: The Smart Alternative for Small Teams & Clubs

**VERSION 1.3 Lite**

**Appointments & Team Organization – without the chaos.**
The smart alternative for small teams, clubs, and freelancers. Forget bloated project management tools or rigid event-ticketing plugins! Termin-Kalender combines a lightning-fast, beautiful calendar with simple team tools (To-Dos, Messages). 
No "empty screen" on your first start thanks to our clever assistant, no steep learning curve. Just install, display your appointments, and be productive instantly!

### 🎯 Why "Termin-Kalender"? (The end of plugin chaos)
Stop managing separate calendar, task list, and reservation form plugins. We built Termin-Kalender to give small workgroups exactly what they need: A perfect schedule overview blended with lightweight team communication.

### ✨ The Highlights (Free Version)
* **Start in Seconds:** Describe your project briefly (e.g., "Sports club with 3 teams"), and our clever assistant instantly builds perfectly color-coded categories for you. No endless setup, no empty calendar on your first run!
* **Looks Fantastic Everywhere:** Show the full calendar or a compact list of upcoming appointments on your website. Insert your events via Gutenberg, Widget, or Shortcode – they adapt seamlessly to your theme.

### 🚀 Termin-Kalender PRO (For professional teamwork)
* **Internal Tasks & To-Dos:** Keep your To-Dos in a simple list that is easily shared. To-Dos with dates show up directly in your calendar. Appointment requests from forms land straight in your To-Dos AND your calendar!
* **Team Messages:** Easily set up teams and a frontend app for discussions and team meetings. Includes a reminder function for all popular messengers.
* **Flexible Bookings & Forms:** Let clients book appointments, cars, tables, or consultations. Define blocked times to prevent double bookings 100% in real-time. Requests arrive straight on your integrated To-Do list ...and in your calendar.
* **Absolute Theme Freedom:** The engine creates standard Gutenberg posts that are perfectly and beautifully designed. Show events just like real blog posts, without being trapped in rigid calendar layouts.
* **Edit from Anywhere:** Allow team members to manage the calendar directly from the frontend without logging into the WordPress backend.
* **Display Any External Calendar:** Have a Google- or iCloud-Calendar already? Add the iCal-Link easily and show it directly on your website! (Another plugin saved!) *Plus:* You can also sync private Google events to your backend calendar for a unified overview.

*PRO features require an upgrade.

005. The right list for every group on your site. The free version displays a clean, unfiltered list of your next 20 upcoming appointments. PRO unlocks full control: filter by category, set the exact number of entries, and choose your preferred layout. Create multiple tailored lists for different teams, audiences, or pages – all from one place.

006. Clean, simple, effective. This is how a straightforward appointment list looks live on your website. No clutter, no overhead – just the information your visitors need.

007. Perfectly on-brand, every time. All colors are inherited directly from your categories. Match your calendar and lists flawlessly to your website's design – no extra styling needed.

012. Every request, every deadline – automatically tracked. PRO To-Do List: When visitors submit one of your contact or reservation forms with a date, it is instantly captured as a task in both your calendar and your To-Do list.

018. Free and PRO – the right tools for every need. Free Gutenberg blocks include the full calendar and a simple appointment list. PRO unlocks: advanced list displays with powerful configuration options, a fully integrated contact and reservation form, Google & iCal calendar display, and a To-Do list widget for your website.

019. One plugin. Forms, bookings, and your calendar – all connected. No separate contact form plugin needed. Termin-Kalender includes ready-made, fully customizable forms for any use case. Every submission lands instantly in your To-Do list and your calendar – so nothing ever gets missed. Each form automatically adopts the color and icon of its assigned category, fitting seamlessly into your website design. Create a "Booking Request" category and a "Booked" category. When a request comes in, simply switch the category to "Booked" – done. Set "Booked" as your blocked date reference in the form settings and double bookings become impossible.
