Main features
Importer for Calendar comes with many thoughtful features. You simply copy your data in your spreadsheet to the clipboard and then paste it into Importer for Calendar. You can save field assignments for recurring imports, so you don't have to do the assignment from scratch each time. You can preview the conversion result before importing, using a list view or a detailed per-event preview. To work with third-party calendars like Fantastical or BusyCal, you can easily save the converted events as .ics file.
The following features set the app apart from alternatives:
Effortlessly import events with specified durations, not just defined end times.
Handle diverse date and time formats with ease.
Enjoy flexibility with any table structure, without the hassle of rigid formats.
Experience smooth time zone support, allowing different time zones for start and end dates.
Supports Outlook categories and BusyCal tags when exporting as .ics file
Safeguard your privacy with local data conversion and import on your Mac.
Benefit from a genuine, modern Mac experience, specifically designed for macOS.
Privacy
There's not much to say here: Importer for Calendar doesn't collect any data. All conversion takes place locally on your Mac - a clear advantage over online converters where you never know what happens to your data. If it matters, the developer is from Germany.
Pricing & Download
In a free basic mode, Importer for Calendar limits event titles to a length of 12 characters, among other things. This allows you to download the app for free and play with it to get a feel for whether it might be of use to you. Full functionality can be activated with an inexpensive one-time purchase.
Requirements
You need a Mac running macOS 13 Ventura or newer. The app is optimized for Intel and Apple Silicon CPUs.
