Share an event the way you'd want to

Standard
Celebration

A few taps send a designed card and a tap-to-add file together.

Without it, sharing an event means typing out a chat message, sending a screenshot the recipient has to retype, or sending a meeting invite through email. KashCal gives you something nicer to send, and saves your friend the typing.

Pick Standard for everyday plans and Celebration for birthdays, weddings and the rest. KashCal picks Celebration for you when the title has a word like birthday, party or wedding, or an emoji like 🎂. You can switch before you send.

What the recipient gets​

The card arrives as a regular image, so any messenger shows it. It shows the event's title, date, time and location, with a small "Made with KashCal" line. Next to it travels a small calendar file (.ics). Tapping it opens the recipient's calendar app, such as iPhone Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook, ready to add the event. They don't need KashCal or an account, and they don't retype anything.

If KashCal can't create the calendar file, it sends the card on its own.

Privacy​

The file you send is a standalone copy of one occurrence. It gets a new identifier and carries no guest list and no organizer, so your guests' addresses don't travel with it. It keeps the event's own details, such as the notes, link, tags and reminders. Sharing a repeating event sends only the occurrence you tapped, not the whole series.

You're not sending a meeting invite. You're handing the recipient a copy of the event, so they decide what goes on their calendar. It's their event now, not yours.

Designed details​

Two styles
Standard for everyday plans. Celebration for the kind you tell people about.
Multi-day events
A horizontal range chip ("MAY 31 – JUN 03"), with day-of-week in the body so the chip stays light.
Overnight events
Saturday 10 PM to Sunday 2 AM stays a single Saturday-night card. KashCal only treats an event as multi-day when it crosses a date and lasts at least 18 hours.
All sources
Works for events from any calendar: iCloud, Nextcloud and other CalDAV servers, KashCal's Local calendar, device calendars such as Google, an ICS feed, or a contact's birthday.

  3. Keep the style KashCal picked, or pick Standard or Celebration.
  4. Tap Send, then choose the app to share with.

Frequently asked questions​

What does Share as card send?​

A PNG image of the card and an iCalendar (.ics) file for one occurrence, sent together in one share. The recipient sees the card in their messenger and taps the file to add the event to their own calendar.

Does the recipient need KashCal?​

No. The card is a regular image, so any chat app shows it. The .ics is a standard iCalendar file that Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook and other calendar apps open.

Are my attendees or organizer email visible to the recipient?​

No. The .ics is a standalone event for one occurrence, with a new UID and no ATTENDEE or ORGANIZER properties. Sharing a repeating event sends only the occurrence you tapped, not the whole series.

Can I share events from my Google or iCloud calendar this way?​

Yes. Share as card works for any event KashCal shows: iCloud, Nextcloud and other CalDAV servers, KashCal's Local calendar, device calendars such as Google (once you turn them on in Settings), an ICS subscription, or a contact's birthday.
