Stop retyping event details into your calendar. MessyCal turns messy event information — emails, flyer photos, conference schedules, Eventbrite pages — into calendar events with one tap. Powered by AI, it figures out the dates, times, locations, and recurrence so you don't have to. Three ways to feed it: • Paste — Copy event details from anywhere. A team email, a forwarded invite, a meeting agenda. MessyCal extracts every event in the text. • Snap — Take a photo of a flyer, a printed schedule, or a whiteboard. MessyCal reads the image and pulls out the events. • Link — Drop in an Eventbrite, Meetup, or community calendar URL. MessyCal fetches the page and extracts what matters. How it works: 1. Choose your input — paste text, pick a photo, or drop a link. 2. Tap Extract. AI reads the content and finds every event with a date and time. 3. Review the parsed events with their titles, times, and locations. 4. One tap adds them straight to your iPhone calendar. Built for real life: • Recurring events — "every Tuesday at 3pm" lands as a recurring series, not a single event. • Relative dates — "tomorrow," "next Friday," "in two weeks" all resolve to the right calendar dates. • Time zones — Specify a zone in custom instructions and MessyCal respects it. • Multiple events at once — A whole conference schedule, parsed in one shot. Private and respectful: • No account required. • Your input is processed on our own servers to extract events. See our Privacy Policy for what we store and how to request deletion. • No tracking. No ads. No selling your data. MessyCal is the calendar utility your favorite events deserve. Free to use, with optional Pro features coming soon. Coming soon: share text or URLs directly from Safari, Mail, or Messages with one tap via the iOS Share Sheet.
