  1. Open Calendar on your Mac, right-click the calendar in the sidebar and choose Share Calendar.
  2. Tick Public Calendar and click Done. Anyone with the address can read the calendar from then on, nobody can change anything in it.
  3. Wait a few seconds, right-click the calendar again and choose Copy URL to Clipboard. Paste that address below.

In inConcept

  1. Go to Settings, Integrations, Calendars and click Follow a calendar.
  2. Paste the address under The calendar's address. A name is not needed: left empty, it takes the calendar's own name.
  3. Click Check. inConcept shows what the calendar is called and how many days are in it.
  4. Click Follow. The days are on the calendar straight away.

Forgotten where the address is while in inConcept? In the window you pick your calendar, and inConcept walks you through the steps with the screen beside them.

What inConcept reads

inConcept reads this calendar every morning. An appointment you mark private in Google or Outlook is not taken over. We store the address encrypted and show it nowhere.

After that

What falls within six weeks and fits your brand shows under Suggestions. You manage a followed calendar under Integrations, Calendars: there you pick its colour, whether it shows on the calendar, and see when it was last read. Other ways to add a calendar are in the overview.

If it does not work

  • No Mac to hand. It works on iCloud.com too: open Calendar, click the share icon beside the calendar, turn on Public Calendar and copy the link.
  • The address starts with webcal://. That is fine. Paste it as it is.
  • You do not see Public Calendar. A calendar someone else shares with you can only be made public by its owner.
