Follow a calendar by its link
Fridge Door can follow any calendar that has a calendar (iCal) link: a work calendar, the school's, the soccer team's. Its events show in the family calendar and on the kitchen screen, and stay up to date by themselves.
Find the link
- Google Calendar: on a computer, open Settings, click the calendar under Settings for my calendars, then Integrate calendar, and copy the Secret address in iCal format. For one you subscribed to, like Holidays in Canada, use its Public address in iCal format.
- Outlook: Settings › Calendar › Shared calendars › Publish, then copy the ICS link.
- iCloud: share the calendar as a Public Calendar and copy its link.
- Schools and teams: look for "Subscribe", "iCal", "ICS" or "Add to calendar" on their calendar page.
Follow it
- Open Settings › Household and find Calendars you follow, then choose Follow a calendar.
- Paste the iCal link, choose whose it is (one person, or The family) and a colour.
- For a work calendar, tick Show as busy only: events show as Busy with their times, but no title, place or notes.
- Choose Follow.
Followed calendars refresh every 15 minutes; Check now fetches straight away. They're read-only in Fridge Door: change their events where they live. Edit calendar changes the name, owner or colour, and Stop following removes it.
