Abstract
A method for dynamically organizing applications based on a calendar event includes presenting a plurality of icons on an electronic display of a mobile device. Each icon of the plurality of icons represents an application configured to execute on the mobile device. The method further includes identifying an upcoming calendar event on a calendar linked to the mobile device and determining if there is a correlation between the application and the calendar event by comparing one or more characteristics of the application to one or more characteristics of the calendar event. The method also includes positioning the plurality of icons on the electronic display according to the determined correlation between the application and the calendar event such that icons representing applications having a positive correlation to the calendar event are positioned to be more visible than icons representing applications that do not have a positive correlation to the calendar event.
