## What is CalAction?

CalAction makes importing, creating, and managing calendar events effortless. Open any ICS file, create events from scratch, and keep your calendars organized — all in one app. No subscription. Privacy first.

IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE

Open ICS files from Mail, Safari, WhatsApp, or any app using the Share Sheet. Browse with the file picker, paste from clipboard, enter a URL, scan a QR code, or drag and drop. Six ways to import — CalAction handles them all.

CREATE ICS FILES

Build calendar events from scratch. Set the title, date, time, location, notes, URL, and alarms. Export as an ICS file, share via QR code, or add directly to your calendar.

SMART IMPORT

Preview every event before importing. Choose which calendar to add them to. See duplicate warnings so you never import the same event twice. CalAction detects Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Webex, and FaceTime links and shows a "Join Call" button in your calendar.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your data never leaves your device. No accounts, no tracking, no analytics. Just a tool that respects your privacy.

SEARCH YOUR CALENDAR

Find any event by title, location, or notes — across the past and next year.

FIND DUPLICATES 

Scan your calendars for duplicate events. Review grouped results and clean them up in one tap.

BULK OPERATIONS 

Select multiple events to delete, move to another calendar, or export as a single ICS file.

SMART CONFLICT RESOLUTION 

Importing duplicates? See a side-by-side diff and choose to skip, replace, or keep both — per event.

AUTO-ROUTING RULES 

Automatically assign events to the right calendar based on keywords in the title or location. Set it once, import effortlessly.

CALENDAR EXPORT 

Export an entire calendar as a single ICS file. Perfect for backups or migrating between calendar services.
