❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I give the app permission to access my calendar?
When you first try to save an event, iOS will ask for calendar permission. Tap "Allow" to grant access.
If you accidentally denied permission:
- Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Calendars
- Find "Text to Calendar" in the list
- Toggle the switch to enable access
- Restart the app
Why isn't my text being parsed correctly?
The AI parser works best with clear, natural language. Try these tips:
- Include specific dates: "tomorrow at 2pm" instead of "later"
- Use clear time formats: "2:00 PM" or "2pm"
- Include location with "at" or "@": "at Starbucks" or "@ my office"
- Try the sample examples in the app first
Can I create recurring events?
Yes! The app supports recurring events in two ways:
- Automatic detection: Use phrases like "every Friday" or "daily meeting"
- Manual selection: After parsing, tap to edit and select recurrence options
Supported patterns: Daily, Weekly, Bi-weekly, Monthly, Yearly
Where do my events get saved?
Events are saved directly to your iOS Calendar app. They appear in:
- Your default calendar (usually "Personal")
- The Calendar app on your iPhone/iPad
- Any connected calendars (iCloud, Google, etc.)
How do I view or delete events I've created?
- Tap the calendar icon in the top-right corner of the app
- View all events created by the app
- Swipe left on any event to delete it
Note: Deleted events are permanently removed from your calendar
Is my data private and secure?
Absolutely! Text to Calendar is privacy-first:
- All text processing happens on your device
- No data is sent to external servers
- We don't collect or store your personal information
- Only calendar access is requested (and only when you save events)
Why do I see ads in the app?

maintaining privacy. We use Google AdMob for ad delivery, which follows industry privacy standards.
