0.8.5 - is there any way to leave Calendar access enabled, but NOT show upcoming meetings in the menubar?

Q: is there any way to leave Calendar access enabled, but NOT show upcoming meetings in the menubar? I didn't see a way to turn them off. I have another app already (Dato) that shows upcoming meetings, so I'd like to switch that off.

Yes, for the menu bar text: Settings → Appearance → turn off Show next meeting in menu bar. That removes the next-meeting title and countdown next to the icon, and calendar access stays on for auto-detect and recording.

The "Coming Up" list inside the dropdown menu has no global off switch in 0.8.5. You can trim it two ways:

Per event: the event's submenu → Hide from Muesli hides that occurrence from Coming Up and reminders without touching the calendar.

Per calendar: Settings → calendars → untick Include calendar for calendars you don't want Muesli to look at (note that this also excludes them from auto-record).

Thanks for these tips, I do suggest a global "don't show upcoming meetings in menubar" setting - for someone (like myself) who has a dozen different calendars, it's a lot of clicking to exclude each one individually.
