Built to wrangle one family's calendars
iCal Merge started as a fix for my own overloaded fridge calendar. It grew into a free tool that combines any calendar feeds into one link you can actually share.
Why I built it
With two kids on different teams, plus the school calendar and the odd recital, our family's schedule lived in four different apps — and none of them talked to each other. Every app wanted us to live inside it. The grandparents and the carpool couldn't see any of it.
I wanted one link: a calendar I could manage, that everyone else could subscribe to once and then forget. When a game moved, it should update on its own — no re-importing, no nagging anyone to install something. That's iCal Merge.
Merge isn't sync
iCal Merge doesn't connect your accounts or copy events back and forth. It reads each calendar's public feed and publishes a single, read-only link that stays up to date on its own. Nothing is written back to your calendars — and the people you share with never need an account on this end.
A few things I care about
Free to use
No credit card, no account required for the people you share with. Built first for my own family.
Works with any feed
If a calendar hands you an iCal/ICS link, it works. There's no fixed list of supported apps to wait on.
Always up to date
Every source refreshes on its own. New events appear automatically — no stale copies, nothing to re-import.
Read-only & safe
It only reads the feeds you point it at and never writes back. Your source calendars stay exactly as they are.
No ads. Not now, not ever.
I'm not building this to sell your attention. iCal Merge will never run ads, and I don't sell or share your data. The service only reads the public calendar feeds you point it at — it doesn't touch anything else in your accounts, and the people you hand a link to stay anonymous to it. Your calendars are yours.
Questions, ideas, or a bug?
It's just me building this, and I read every email. Tell me what you're trying to merge — or what's getting in your way — and I'll help.
