Frequently asked questions

You send them one link. They open it, their calendar app asks whether to subscribe, they say yes, and the events appear alongside everything else they already have. No account, no app to install, nothing to sign up for.

Edit it, press Save, and everyone who subscribed gets the change automatically. You do not have to tell anyone or re-send anything.

Not instantly, and this is worth understanding. Calendar apps decide for themselves how often to check, and most are slow: Google commonly checks every 8 to 24 hours, and Apple lets each person pick, sometimes as infrequently as weekly. If you move a game happening tomorrow, text people as well. For anything further out, the feed handles it.

No, and no one else can either. A calendar app checks a feed in the background with nobody sitting there to type a password, so a protected feed simply stops working. The share link being unguessable is the protection. You can put a password on the edit page, which is a different thing.

Then the calendar cannot be edited again, by you or by us. There are no accounts, so there is nothing to log in to and no reset email to send. Bookmark the link or email it to yourself the moment you make a calendar. The editor nags you about this on purpose.

Apple Calendar, Google Calendar and Outlook all handle it, as does anything else that accepts a standard calendar subscription. The feed is plain iCalendar, the same format your league or school already uses.

Because "Saturday, March 20" does not contain one. Guessing wrong produces a calendar that looks completely correct and is twelve months out, which nobody notices until somebody misses a tournament. When your text names weekdays, Seasonkeeper checks each possible year against them and shows you which one actually fits.

Fix the rows in the table, or paste a cleaner version. The pasted text stays in the box after you press Read it, so you can edit it and read it again. If a format defeats it regularly, send it to me, because that is exactly what alpha is for.

That is the free tier. One line at the bottom of each event's notes. Paid calendars do not have it.

Subscribed calendars generally ignore reminders set by whoever made the feed. Apple offers to strip them when you subscribe, and Google uses your own notification settings instead. This is how calendar apps work and not something Seasonkeeper can override. Set your own reminders on the subscribed calendar in your app.

No. Anything that is a list of dates shared with a group works: school terms, rehearsals, shift rotas, class schedules, a season of anything. Sport is just where the messiest schedules come from.

Not yourself, not yet. Send the edit link to me and I will remove it. See Privacy for why that is the current answer.

The free tier is genuinely free and not a trial. Paid tiers are in private beta while we work out what people actually need. Pricing is on the home page, and may change before launch.
