## What is ColorCalendar?

Your calendar can do better than gray on gray. ColorCalendar tints your events automatically using rules you set up once – “dentist” turns red, “choir” turns purple, “school” turns yellow. You’ll read your week at a glance without reading a single event.

ColorCalendar works directly with the calendars you already have (iCloud, Google, Exchange, CalDAV, subscribed calendars) – nothing moves, everything stays in sync.

AS FAST AS YOU THINK
• Create events in natural language: “tomorrow 3pm dentist” – done.
• Repeating events, too: “rehearsal every Monday 7pm” or “every first Wednesday of the month until December”.
• Six views, one swipe: day, 2-day, week, month, list, year.
• Fluid 120 Hz scrolling and pinch-zoom – built like a system app.
• Month view with a pull-up day panel: overview on top, details below.

COLOR WITH A SYSTEM
• Color rules: keyword → color, applied automatically to every matching event.
• Exact matches, word boundaries, or smart similarity – your choice.
• Custom colors for single events or whole series, too.

ALWAYS IN SIGHT
• Widgets for your Home and Lock Screen.
• Apple Watch app with complications – your next events on your wrist.
• Event details with map preview and travel time.

FOR FULL CONTROL: COLORCALENDAR PRO
• Unlimited color rules (3 are free).
• “Time to leave” alerts with live travel time to your destination.
• Edit subscribed calendars: mirroring makes read-only calendars editable.
• Duplicate manager: detect and merge duplicate events across calendars.
• Smart location suggestions from your event history.
• Event attachments, backup & export, pro widgets and watch complications.

ColorCalendar Pro is €9.99 per year after a 14-day free trial. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac (Universal Purchase). The subscription renews automatically and can be cancelled anytime in Settings. Without Pro, ColorCalendar remains a fully capable free calendar – all views, all your events, natural language input, and 3 color rules included.

MORE TO COME
ColorCalendar is under active development and the next versions are already in the works. Feature requests and bug reports are genuinely welcome – they go straight into the plan.

YOUR DATA IS YOURS
ColorCalendar collects no data. Your events stay in your calendar accounts; your settings sync only through your personal iCloud key-value storage. No accounts, no tracking, no ads.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-10-05

ColorCalendar joins the system
• Siri: “Move the dentist to Thursday”, “Cancel choir practice”, “Add lunch with Anna tomorrow at noon in ColorCalendar” – with Apple Intelligence on iOS 27 and macOS 27.
• Ask: “What’s on tomorrow?”, “Do I have conflicts tomorrow?”, “Show my sports events this week” – color rules work as categories, only in ColorCalendar.
• Search: Your events appear in Search on the Home Screen and in Spotlight on the Mac; one tap opens them. Turn it off in Settings › Siri & Search.
• Control Center, Lock Screen and Action button: “New event” and “Next event” in one tap.
• Shortcuts: Every action is also available in the Shortcuts app.

Month view, reimagined
• At the smallest size, one colorful bar per day; above it, wide color bars that spring into their next shape as you pinch. From four events on, “+N” shows what else is coming.
• After a longer break or on a new day, the app opens on today again.
• Day view: Swiping to the next day keeps the time of day in place.

Also new
• Events with “ENTFÄLLT:” (cancelled) in the title no longer get alerts or Live Activities.
• Calendar mirroring: Lost subscriptions can be restored, and removed copies can be brought back from the Inbox.
• English: Times follow your device (3:00 PM), and missing translations are filled in.
• Natural language input: “tomorrow” and weekdays now always count from today.
• The week view reliably starts on the day you picked.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-10-02

Fixes an issue where the month view could show incorrect day numbers after scrolling.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-26

Conflict Detection with Travel Time (Pro)
ColorCalendar now spots events that overlap or can't be reached in time because the drive between them takes longer than the gap. Affected events show a warning sign in your calendar and can be dismissed, even for an entire series.

One Inbox for Everything
Invitations, conflicts and changes in shared calendars now live in one place.

The Right Length for New Events
Give individual keywords or whole color rules their own duration, like 30 minutes for "xyz". New events then get the right end time automatically. Set your default duration in Settings.

More Improvements
• Mirrored events from calendar subscriptions now follow the original when it changes or is deleted.
• The Live Activity disappears on its own after the event, and you'll never see more than one at a time.
• Online events no longer show a map or travel time.
• A changed event color now appears in the month view right away.
• Fixes a crash during background refresh.

... and a lot more is coming with the next update :)

### 1.1 — 2026-09-08

New Feature: Live Activities

More reliable reminders
Reminders on recurring events are now set for every single occurrence — previously only one of them might get one. The second reminder is now saved reliably when the first is "Time to leave". And with a busy calendar, every event now gets a reminder instead of some getting two and others none.

Safer syncing
Colour rules, calendar selection and reminders survive setting up another device. Changes made on different devices are now merged instead of replacing one another.

Live Activity: Time to leave
The countdown to your departure appears on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and on the CarPlay dashboard — with travel time, arrival and a tap for "On my way". Once you're late, it counts up.

Mac
"Time to leave" now works on the Mac. New: subscription management with restore, maintenance tools, and fixed layout issues.

Bug fixes

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-02

This update makes ColorCalendar smoother and cleans up small things:
• Switching between month, week and day view is noticeably faster.
• The keyboard no longer stutters when you create an event.
• New installations start with more suitable example color rules.
• The notification badge only appears for things you can actually open.

Thank you for trying ColorCalendar! Feedback and requests are always welcome.
