GETTING STARTED
Getting Started
Create your first Page and Event on top of Google Calendar, and learn how Velprium is structured.
What is Velprium?
Velprium is a time-based database that adds structure and perspective to your Google Calendar events. It is not a new calendar — it adds a layer of structure on top of the one you already use.
Velprium turns calendar events into structured records that can be organized across multiple perspectives.
Connect Google Calendar
To begin, connect your Google account. Velprium reads your calendar list and events to display them, and writes back events you create.
- Sign in with Google
- Choose which calendars to connect
- You can disconnect at any time
For the exact access scope and what is stored, see FAQ & Data Privacy.
Understand the basic structure
Velprium’s building blocks relate like this:
Workspace
└── Page (a perspective)
├── Area (a parallel timeline)
│ └── Event (from a Calendar)
│ └── Properties
└── Area
└── Event- Page — a single perspective on your time
- Area — a parallel timeline inside a Page
- Calendar — the source of event data
- Event — a record that lives on the timeline
- Event Property — structured data attached to an Event
Create your first Page
The easiest starting point is a Daily Journal that splits your day into plan, actual, and reflection.
Page: Daily Journal
├── Area 1: Plan
├── Area 2: Act
└── Area 3: ReviewAdd an event and properties
Create a basic event, then attach properties that capture what that time meant.
- Category
- Energy
- Mood
- Project
- Rating
Example
Attach Category=Work, Energy=High, Project=Velprium to a “09:00 Product planning” event, and a simple entry becomes a record you can analyze.
