Snap a photo of a flyer. Forward an event email. Paste a link. Calendar Vision uses AI to read the details and create a ready-to-save calendar event — title, time, location, and repeating schedule included. No typing. No editing. Just tap Add. Works on anything with event information: • Photos of flyers, posters, mailers, and printed calendars • Screenshots from Instagram, Facebook, or anywhere else • Forwarded event invitation and newsletter emails • Eventbrite, Meetup, and other web page URLs Smarter than iOS Photos built-in extraction: iOS Photos sees a time on a flyer and creates a blank, unnamed event. Calendar Vision reads the flyer the way you would — it finds the event name, picks up the venue address, and recognizes when something repeats every week. You get a complete event that's ready to save with one tap, not a half-finished draft you still have to fill in yourself. Syncs with every calendar app you already use: Add events directly to Apple Calendar or Google Calendar, or subscribe to your personal Calendar Vision feed from any app that supports iCal — Fantastical, Outlook, Calendars 5, and more. Key features: • AI extracts event name, date, time, location, and description automatically • Detects recurring schedules — weekly, monthly, and more • Forward emails to your personal Calendar Vision address for instant extraction • Paste a web page URL to pull events from Eventbrite, Meetup, and similar sites • iCal feed subscription keeps all your calendars in sync automatically • Works with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and any iCal-compatible app • Start free — no account required to try Free plan: 10 events per month at no cost. Pro: Unlimited events for $3.99/month or $39.99/year. Download free and turn your first photo into a calendar event in under a minute. Terms of Service: https://calendarvision.app/terms
