ShareMyCal

Features
Read full description

ShareMyCal makes it simple to share access to a calendar — no spreadsheets, group chats, or shared passwords. FEATURES • See the calendar right in the app Add a public Google Calendar link and instantly see what dates are free or booked. • Share access on your terms Share the calendar with others by Sms, email, QR code and more. You choose a nickname for each person — no email address or other personal information about them is ever stored. • Remove access one person at a time See who has connected to your calendar, and remove access for one specific person with a single swipe. If more than one person used the same link, each can be removed individually — without affecting the others. • Request open dates Someone shared their calendar with you? Send a request for a specific date range right from the app, with a calendar file attached, so it's easy for the owner to reply. • Face ID / Touch ID Sign back in quickly and securely with biometric authentication. • Danish, English and German Switch languages right from the app's settings. PRIVACY BY DESIGN ShareMyCal is built to store as little as possible. Your account lives only on your device. When you share a calendar, nothing about the recipient is ever sent anywhere — not their name, not their email, only the nickname you choose yourself. You can remove access at any time, and permanently delete your account from within the app. Requires a Google Calendar set to "Make available to public" in its sharing settings to display in the app.
