How do I connect my Apple calendar?

Your iCloud calendars can appear in your year plan. Apple has no sign-in button for other apps. Instead you create a password at Apple that is only for AnnuCal.

Connect Apple iCloud

1. Create an app-specific password. Open account.apple.com in your browser and sign in. Go to Sign-In and Security, then App-Specific Passwords, and click the plus. Name it “AnnuCal” and copy the password.
2. In AnnuCal, click the + next to your calendar tabs, then Apple iCloud.
3. Enter your Apple ID and paste the App-specific password. Your normal Apple password is not needed.
4. Click Connect.
5. Choose your calendars. You decide which of your iCloud calendars go into your year plan.

Each iCloud calendar you choose becomes a tab of its own, like your other calendars.

One way or both ways

• Free: your iCloud events appear in your year and stay up to date. They are read-only in AnnuCal.
• Pro: both ways. What you add or move in an iCloud calendar in AnnuCal also changes in your Apple calendar.

Privacy and disconnecting

The app-specific password is stored encrypted. If you delete it at Apple, the connection ends immediately. You can also disconnect in AnnuCal: click Apple iCloud in the + menu again, or open Connections in your account. Nothing changes at Apple.

Sign-in expired?

If AnnuCal shows Sign-in expired for Apple iCloud, the app-specific password no longer exists at Apple. Create a new one and sign in again. Your calendars stay in the plan in the meantime, they are just no longer updated.
