Build templates for events that occur irregularly and paste them into your Calendar! Did you ever wonder why Apple’s built-in Calendar app has no Copy & Paste? I certainly did! Stop going through the tedious process of providing every event detail over and over again and use Calendar Paste instead to: • Schedule team meetings, • work shifts, • on-call duties, • productivity appointments with your lazy self, • events with durations like 3:45 which are ennerving to specify in the Calendar app. --- Attribution: Thanks to Daniel Bruce from http://www.entypo.com/ for the lock icon template!

IAFF Foundation Pro is free to download; Calendar Paste 3 costs $1.99 up front. IAFF Foundation Pro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year. Calendar Paste 3 asks for nothing beyond the download.
IAFF Foundation Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IAFF Foundation Pro has 5.9K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of IAFF Foundation Pro's written reviews are positive against 67% of Calendar Paste 3's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
IAFF Foundation Pro ships an update every 5 months, Calendar Paste 3 every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
