Frequently asked questions
What is an .ics file?
It's the standard calendar file format. Opening it adds the event to whichever calendar app you use — Google, Apple Calendar or Outlook all understand it.
Can I set a reminder?
Yes. You can add an optional reminder that fires a set time before the event starts, and it travels with the .ics file.
Can the event repeat?
Yes. Choose a recurrence option to make the event repeat, for example every day, week or month.
Is my event data uploaded?
No. The .ics file is built in your browser and your draft is saved only on your device. The tool works fully offline.
Tips
- Use the open-in-Google-Calendar button to review the event before saving it.
- Tick all-day for events without a specific time, like holidays or deadlines.
- The .ics file can be emailed to others so they can add the same event to their own calendar.
