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.
