ICS to calendar: subscribe once, stay current.
The team publishes fixtures, the school publishes term dates, iCloud publishes your partner's calendar, all as ICS links. Subscribe them once and they live in the family view, updating themselves.
HOW IT WORKS
- Copy the feed link. Any webcal:// or .ics URL, from iCloud sharing, a team site, or the school portal.
- Paste it in Plannie. Settings → Calendar → Calendar feed (ICS). Each member connects their own feeds.
- It stays current. Events appear view-only in the shared calendar and refresh automatically; sync status is visible per feed.
The feeds your family already lives by
Half a family's schedule is published by someone else: the football club's fixture list, the school's term dates, a grandparent's shared iCloud calendar. Feeds mean nobody re-types any of it. And because Plannie's household view is colour-coded per member, the subscribed events sit alongside everything else instead of in a separate app someone forgets to check.
Frequently asked
How do I add an ICS or webcal feed to the family calendar?+
In Plannie, open Settings → Calendar, choose “Calendar feed (ICS)”, and paste the webcal or .ics link from iCloud, a sports team, the school portal, anywhere that publishes one. The feed’s events appear in your shared family calendar as a view-only layer that stays up to date on its own.
Does this work for Apple / iCloud calendars?+
Yes, this is how Apple Calendar comes into Plannie. Share the iCloud calendar as a public link and subscribe to it in Plannie; every event shows up, view-only. Google and Outlook, by contrast, connect with full two-way sync.
What does “view-only” mean exactly?+
Events from a subscribed feed display in Plannie but can’t be edited there. Changes happen at the source and flow in. Plannie marks these calendars with a view-only badge so nobody wonders why an event won’t move.
What happens if a feed breaks?+
Plannie keeps retrying and shows the sync status per feed, so a moved or renamed link is something you can see and fix rather than a silent gap in the family schedule.
Is calendar sync free?+
Yes. Connecting calendars, including ICS feeds, is part of Plannie’s free plan. Each family member connects their own calendars, and everything lands in one shared, colour-coded household view.
