A one-way copy, from a calendar you can’t control into one you can. Sounds narrow. It turns out to be the answer to a pile of ordinary problems that look nothing alike.
A subscribed calendar is read-only: no resharing, no colour of your own, no adding to it. The copy fixes all three.
Two assigning systems, two clubs, the family calendar, your own appointments, a travel feed — all pointed at one calendar that answers the question.
Two busy-only mirrors, pointed at each other, so both sides see the wall they were about to book through.
They need to know Thursday at 3 is gone. They don’t need the client name — and one tag lets the school pickup through.
No account, no token, no server. The calendars are already on the device, and so is the copying. With one caveat worth reading.
A published rota can go stale without telling you. This one tells you — in the calendar itself, on your phone.
Tag what is theirs, mirror only that into a calendar you share, and leave the other nine-tenths of your week out of it.
Hosted schedulers poll iCloud every five to ten minutes, or not at all. Hand them a copy they read properly.
340 events, four of which are yours. Filters cut an institutional feed down to the part that belongs to you.
Remove the account and years of history go with it. Copies in a calendar you own stay yours.
Make your free/busy true first. Then three times on the clipboard — or a request page that never books itself.
Several of these problems are solved by other apps too, some of them free, one of them probably already in your subscriptions. Thirteen comparisons say which one to buy for which situation — including the cases where it isn’t this one.
