The weekly plan from school, practice times from the club, the birthday invite from daycare — busy families get their schedules as photos and PDFs. ToCalendar puts them in your calendar in seconds: snap a photo, and the app creates every event for you. SNAP. SCAN. DONE. Take a photo or import a PDF — ToCalendar's AI reads every date, time, title, and location, then creates all your calendar events at once. No more typos, missed games, or forgotten appointments. BUILT FOR BUSY PARENTS - Weekly plans from school, daycare, and after-school programs - Training schedules and match fixtures (soccer, handball, etc.) - Activity calendars and monthly planners - Invitations and event flyers Got the weekly plan as a PDF in your email or school app? Share it straight to ToCalendar — the whole week is in the family calendar before your coffee is ready. NOT JUST FOR PARENTS Anything that belongs in a calendar can be scanned: - Work rosters and shift schedules - Meeting agendas and conference programs - Flight itineraries and travel plans FREE TO USE — 3 SCANS EVERY MONTH You get 3 free scans every month, no subscription needed. Need more? Premium gives you unlimited scanning at an affordable monthly price — try it free for 1 month, cancel anytime. WHY TOCALENDAR? Unlike built-in tools that handle one event at a time, ToCalendar extracts ALL events from a single document — even multi-page PDFs. It works on any iPhone, not just the latest models. And unlike standalone planner apps, there's no new app to check: everything lands in the calendar you already use — and is shared with your family automatically through your shared calendar. SMART DUPLICATE DETECTION Scan the same document twice? No problem. ToCalendar recognizes events you've already added and flags duplicates before they clutter your calendar. WORKS YOUR WAY - Import from camera, photo library, or files - Share directly from Safari or other apps - Edit events before saving - Save to iCloud, Google Calendar, Outlook, or any calendar on your iPhone or Mac - Works in English, German, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, and Dutch Your data stays private — documents are processed securely and never stored on any server.

SnapShift turns a photo of your work schedule into a calendar you can actually use. Snap a picture of the printout on the breakroom wall, drop in a screenshot from your scheduling app, and SnapShift reads the shifts and adds them to your calendar. No typing, no copy-paste, no account. Built for hourly workers, shift workers, and anyone tired of re-entering their schedule by hand every week. KEY FEATURES • Schedule reading. Take a photo or pick a screenshot of your work schedule. SnapShift reads the shifts automatically. If your schedule has an unusual layout, an AI assistant takes over to handle it. • Monthly calendar. A clean monthly view with color-coded dots so you can see your month at a glance. • Weekly view. A 7-day overview with compact shift blocks, easy week navigation, and today highlighted. • Manual events. Add anything by hand: title, date, start and end times, category, and notes. Great for appointments, classes, or anything that isn't on the work schedule. • Repeating events. Schedule something that happens every week, every other Tuesday and Thursday, or on the 1st of every month. End on a date or keep it going. • iPhone Calendar sync. See your existing iPhone Calendar events alongside SnapShift events, and optionally save SnapShift events to a dedicated SnapShift calendar on iPhone. • Smarter schedule reading. Whether your schedule is a list with times or a monthly grid with markers, SnapShift handles it. • Edit and delete. Tap any event to view, edit every field, or remove it. • Color-coded categories. Work, personal, medical, school, and other. Glance and know what kind of day you're looking at. • On-device storage. Every event lives on your phone. No accounts, no sign-up, no cloud sync, no analytics. Uninstall the app and the data is gone with it. WHO IT'S FOR • Retail, hospitality, healthcare, and other shift workers who get a new schedule every week • Students juggling class times, work, and appointments • Anyone whose schedule arrives as a photo, screenshot, or printout PRIVACY SnapShift does not collect, store, or transmit personal information. Schedule images are sent to text-recognition services (OCR.space for standard scans, Google's Gemini API for harder layouts) only to extract shifts from them. They are not stored by SnapShift, linked to you, or used for tracking. If you tap "Send screenshot to improve" after a failed scan, the image goes to the developer for review and is deleted after triage. Everything else stays on your device. Connected iPhone Calendar events are read on-device only and are never transmitted anywhere. Full privacy policy: rydertetreault.dev/projects/snapshift/privacy-policy Snap. Shift. Done.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SnapShift at none against ToCalendar's 1. SnapShift also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.5). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
