Product Overview
Smart Calendars AI turns voice, photos, screenshots, PDFs, and emails into reviewed calendar items—and turns prompts, public URLs, files (including spreadsheets), and pasted schedules into publishable Calendar Pages and ICS/webcal feeds. It works with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and Microsoft Outlook.
What is Smart Calendars AI?
Smart Calendars AI combines an AI calendar assistant with publishable Calendar Feeds. The assistant turns voice, photos (OCR), PDFs, and text (including emails) into structured events, reminders, and contacts. Calendar Feeds turn prompts, public URLs, files (including spreadsheets), and pasted schedules into reviewable Calendar Pages and ICS/webcal subscriptions. Both work with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Microsoft Outlook.
How it works
You share something that contains dates, times, places, or contact details (by speaking, pasting text, or sending a screenshot/photo). Smart Calendars AI extracts the important information, lets you review it, and then saves it to your calendar (or contacts) in a clean, structured format.
What it can create
From a single input, Smart Calendars AI can generate:
- Calendar events with title, date/time, time zone, and location
- Reminders and to‑dos (with optional due dates, notes, and alerts)
- Recurring schedules (e.g. weekly classes) with recurrence rules
- Rich event details like meeting links, access codes, and relevant URLs (when included in the source)
- Contact cards (e.g. for Apple Contacts) from names, emails, phone numbers, and signatures (when present)
Ways to use it
- Voice: "Team meeting next Tuesday at 3pm—remind me 1 hour before."
- Photos / screenshots (OCR): posters, tickets, schedules, invitations, confirmations.
- Text: copied details from emails, chats, web pages, and documents.
Smart Calendars AI app — features
The AI calendar assistant turns voice, photos, documents, emails, and chat messages into structured events, reminders, and contacts for review before saving. This overview includes the upcoming updates to the iOS app (3.15) and Mac app (1.12).
Capture from anywhere
Voice or natural-language text
Describe an event in your own words and refine it with a follow-up message. Supported iPhones, iPads, and Macs use newer on-device speech recognition; typing stops dictation and keeps your edits.
Photos and screenshots (OCR)
Capture flyers, tickets, posters, or signs and let the assistant extract the relevant details for your review.
PDFs, Word documents, and schedules
Import PDFs, .docx Word files, and spreadsheets to turn schedules, plans, and notes into calendar items. Document detection and preparation help handle dense and complex layouts.
Emails and forwarded threads
Forward bookings, confirmations, or ordinary mail with dates. Each suggestion is presented for confirmation before saving.
WhatsApp, Telegram, and Slack messages
Capture agreed dates from chat conversations and convert them into real calendar entries in a few taps.
Chrome extension for any web page
Turn highlighted text or images on any page into events with Chrome, without manual copy and paste.
Website imports
Attach a webpage, add instructions, and review the extracted dates before saving. If a page cannot be read, import a screenshot or document instead.
Mac screen capture
Capture a selected area of your Mac screen and send it to the assistant to extract events and reminders for review.
AI scheduling assistant
Understands unstructured input
Extracts dates, times, locations, links, and attendees from notes, messages, and longer text — even when the source is not neatly formatted.
Multiple events from a single input
Submit a list or describe several plans at once. The assistant produces separate events and reminders without manual splitting.
Conflict detection and suggestions
Highlights overlapping appointments, recommends adjustments, and can look up current event information when more context is required.
Find a time that fits
Request slots based on your constraints and receive concrete options instead of manual availability checking.
Weekly outlooks and reviews
Get a personalized weekly calendar briefing built from your real calendar and reminders. Smart Calendars AI creates an outlook for the current week and a review for completed weeks — and can read it out to you, without manual journaling.
Convert reminders into events (and back)
Switch a task into a meeting, or a meeting back into a reminder, in a single step.
Available across your devices
iPhone and iPad (native iOS app)

Persistent alarms
Add alarms that ring until stopped, with three sounds and Snooze. Available on iOS and iPadOS 26 or later; on Mac, keep the app running and the Mac awake.
Email alarms
Add email alarms to selected events and reminders after verifying your email address. Manage your shared email setup and pause email delivery from the app.

Widgets, Shortcuts, and Control Center
Glance at your day from the Home or Lock Screen, and start voice capture instantly from Control Center or Shortcuts.

Assign colours to events or whole calendars so weekly planning takes seconds instead of minutes.
Attach files to events
Keep tickets, agendas, and PDFs alongside the event they belong to. Attachments use iCloud where appropriate.
Import existing invitations
Open .ics files you have already received so nothing remains forgotten in your downloads folder.
Contacts from text
Convert pasted names, email addresses, phone numbers, and signatures into structured contact cards.
Share, invite, and collaborate
Export individual events
Send events as standard .ics calendar files that recipients can open on any platform.

Share your availability

Privacy and data handling
Encrypted in transit
All requests are sent over HTTPS/TLS. Your data is protected as it travels between your device and our servers.
Processed only as long as needed
Content is retained only as needed for the features you use, such as email alarm delivery and saved assistant memory. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Not used to train AI models
Personal content you submit is never used to train AI models, ours or anyone else’s.
Assistant memory and iCloud
Review and manage what the assistant remembers. Memories sync through your private iCloud storage; active memories can be included in assistant requests to personalise responses.
Smart Calendar Feeds — features
Standards-based calendar subscriptions (ICS / webcal) for publishing schedules to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Microsoft Outlook. Use a curated free feed, or create a custom feed from a prompt, public URL, PDF, photo, spreadsheet, or pasted text.
Subscribe to ready-made smart calendar feeds
Catalogue of free feeds
Browse free calendar feeds for public holidays, sports fixtures, school holidays, anime release schedules, and more.
Standard ICS / webcal subscriptions
Subscribers add one stable feed link instead of importing every event separately. Their calendar app decides when to check that link for changes.
Works with Apple, Google, and Outlook
Built on standard ICS / webcal, so any major calendar app can subscribe without extensions or plug-ins.
Create and review a custom calendar feed
Start with a prompt, URL, or pasted schedule
Describe the schedule you need, provide a public source page, or paste existing dates and details.
Extract events from files
Turn PDFs, photos, screenshots, XLSX, XLS, and CSV schedules into structured events.
Review before publishing
Check and edit extracted dates, times, titles, locations, and other details before subscribers receive the feed.
Publish and share schedules
Public Calendar Page and stable feed URL
Publish a readable schedule on the web and keep one ICS subscription URL as the events change.
Offer a downloadable .ics file
Offer a downloadable calendar file for people who want a one-time copy of the schedule.
Responsive website embedding
Plus and Pro include a responsive embed with Smart Calendars AI attribution and a subscription menu. Business and Publisher add custom colors, branding controls, and attribution removal.
Updates and publishing boundaries
Scheduled refreshes for URL-backed feeds
Eligible URL sources are checked on the cadence included in the plan. Calendar apps retrieve published feed changes on their own schedule.
Publisher-controlled file updates
Uploaded PDFs, images, spreadsheets, and pasted text stay static until the publisher replaces or edits the source.
Read-only subscriber delivery
Subscribers can follow but cannot edit or submit events. Native RSVPs and ticketing are not included; publishers can link to an external registration page.
