EasyReminder ICS
Read full descriptionHide full description
EasyReminder bridges .ics calendar files and your Reminders, both ways. Import: pick or open an .ics file to write its to-dos (VTODO) straight into Reminders — title, notes, due/start dates, priority, completion, URL, plus time & location alerts and recurrence. Choose which list to import into; duplicates are skipped automatically. Export: pick items from any Reminders list and save them as a standard .ics file to back up or share with other calendar / to-do apps. Also: • Shortcuts support for automating import / export • Fully localized in English, 简体中文, and Español • Native SwiftUI, sandboxed, collects no data • Open source — code on GitHub EasyReminder does one thing well: smooth, honest interchange between .ics and Reminders.
