Adding a calendar
Every Localendar calendar is a subscription, not a one-time import. You add it once and new events show up on their own — we refresh the feeds daily.
The three buttons
- Add — opens the calendar app on your device (Apple Calendar on Mac/iPhone, Outlook on Windows) and offers to subscribe.
- Google — opens Google Calendar with the feed ready to add.
- Copy — copies the feed link so you can paste it in anywhere manually (handy for Outlook).
Apple Calendar — Mac
- Click Add, and Calendar will offer to subscribe — choose your account and click Subscribe.
- Prefer manual? In Calendar: File → New Calendar Subscription, paste the copied link, click Subscribe.
- Set Auto-refresh to Every day so new events appear automatically.
Apple Calendar — iPhone & iPad
- Tap Add and confirm Subscribe when Calendar asks.
- Prefer manual? Settings → Calendar → Accounts → Add Account → Other → Add Subscribed Calendar, then paste the copied link.
Google Calendar
- Click Google and confirm Add calendar.
- Prefer manual? On the web, next to Other calendars click + → From URL, paste the copied link, click Add calendar.
- Note: Google refreshes subscribed URLs on its own schedule (often every several hours), so new events can take a little while to appear.
Outlook
- Click Copy to grab the feed link.
- In Outlook on the web: Calendar → Add calendar → Subscribe from web, paste the link, name it, and click Import.
- On Windows, the Add button may open Outlook directly to subscribe.
When do new events show up?
We refresh every calendar daily. After that, it’s up to your calendar app — each one polls subscribed feeds on its own schedule (Apple is usually quick; Google and Outlook can take a few hours). You never have to re-add anything.
Premium & your private link
Premium calendars use a private subscription link tied to your account — keep it to yourself. You can regenerate or revoke it anytime from your calendars dashboard (revoking stops any calendar still using the old link from updating). You can also bundle several premium calendars into one feed with build-your-own mix.
Something looks wrong?
Each calendar’s detail page has a “Report an issue”link — tell us about a wrong time, a missing show, or a broken link and we’ll take a look.
