Calendar subscriptions

Schools, sports leagues and workplaces often publish their calendar as a link. Subscribe to it and those events show up in Kinnomy, next to your own, and stay up to date.

1. Find the calendar’s subscribe link. It is often called an iCal or ICS link, and it may start with webcal://.
2. In Kinnomy open Calendar, then Calendars, then Add a calendar.
3. Paste the link, give it a name like “School calendar”, pick a color and who the events are for.

Kinnomy refreshes each calendar every few hours (every 6 hours to start with), and Refresh now fetches it at once. It keeps events from 60 days ago to 18 months ahead, including ones that repeat.

Imported events show “From School calendar” with a link icon. You cannot edit or delete them in Kinnomy; they change when the source calendar changes. Removing the subscription removes its events.

Owners and adults see the link. Everyone else sees only the calendar’s name and its events, with the visibility you chose.

If the link stops working, the list shows the problem in plain words and when it started. The Brain points it out after a day, and the owner can get a notification once a day. Check that the link still opens, or copy a fresh one from the school or league.

Our server fetches the calendar, not your browser. It only uses secure https links on public addresses.

• The school calendar, for days off, picture day and early dismissals.
• A sports league or team schedule.
• A work calendar you are allowed to share, so the household sees when you are busy.
• Public holidays for your country or region.

Your private calendar feed sends Kinnomy out to another calendar app. A subscription brings another calendar in.

Calendar subscriptions are on Household and Household+, up to 20 per household.
