Calendar Sync

One-way sync with Apple iCloud Calendar

Your iCloud calendars (the ones in the Calendar app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac) come into Sense through a calendar link. Events appear in Sense and stay updated, and you edit them in Apple Calendar. Two-way sync with iCloud isn't available yet.

1. Get the calendar's link

On iPhone or iPad

  1. Open the Calendar app and tap Calendars at the bottom.
  2. Tap the info button next to the iCloud calendar you want.
  3. Turn on Public Calendar, tap Share Link, then Copy.

On a computer

  1. Sign in at icloud.com/calendar.
  2. Click the share icon next to the calendar.
  3. Turn on Public Calendar and copy the link. It starts with webcal://.
"Public" means anyone with the link can view the calendar, though it isn't listed or searchable anywhere. Only calendars stored in iCloud can be shared this way - a calendar On My iPhone or from another account has no link.

2. Add it to Sense

  1. In Sense, open Settings → Connected Calendars and tap Connect a calendar.
  2. Choose Apple Calendar.
  3. Paste the link and tap Check link.
  4. Give it a name and color, and optionally assign it to a family member so its events wear their color.
  5. Tap Connect calendar.

Sense checks the calendar about once an hour, so a brand-new event can take a little while to appear.

Calendars from other accounts on your iPhone

The Calendar app on iPhone often shows Google or Exchange calendars too. Those don't have an iCloud link - connect them at the source instead, with Google two-way sync or an Outlook link.

Bringing outside calendars into Sense is part of Premium.
