Behind the calendar
How this events calendar works
A coded replacement for The Events Calendar Pro: fast, owned by you, and easy for your team to update.
Adding an event takes one form
Your team signs in to a simple editor and fills in the event. No page builder, no plugins to update. Press Publish and the event goes live on the website in a few minutes, on the calendar, in the upcoming list and on its own page.

What the calendar does on its own
- Repeating events: enter "2nd Thursday, every month" once, and every date appears. Skip a date or add an extra one any time.
- Upcoming and past: events move to Past events by themselves the moment they end.
- Add to my calendar: Google, Outlook and Apple buttons on every event.
- Subscribe: supporters can subscribe once and new events appear on their phones automatically.
- Google: every event page carries the details Google uses to show events in search results.
- Moving from WordPress: existing events keep their current web addresses, so links and search rankings carry over.

Who owns it
Everything lives in accounts in your organization's name: the event files and their full history, the editor login and the hosting. If you ever change who maintains your website, the calendar keeps working.
