Import Excel into iCal Apple Calendar or convert to .ics file

Importer for Calendar is a Mac application designed to convert spreadsheet data into calendar events. Users can directly add the events to Apple Calendar or save them as .ics files for import into other calendar applications. The app supports recurring events including custom recurrence rules, attendees, and alarms, and guarantees full privacy through local data conversion that takes place entirely on your Mac.

Features

Any table structure
Import from any spreadsheet layout — no rigid file formats required. Other converters expect fixed column headers and specific date formats.
Recurring events
Full support for recurring events including custom recurrence rules — import weekly meetings, monthly reminders, and more.
Duration instead of end time
Effortlessly import events with specified durations, not just defined end times — ideal for time tracking and scheduling.
Export as .ics file
Save converted events as .ics files for use with Fantastical, BusyCal, Outlook, Google Calendar, or any other calendar app.
Time zones and date formats
Handle diverse date, time, and time zone formats with ease — including different time zones for start and end dates.
Full privacy guaranteed
Importer for Calendar doesn't collect any data — all conversion takes place locally on your Mac, a clear advantage over online converters.

Frequently asked questions

Does my data stay private?

Yes. The entire conversion happens locally on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded.

Do I need a subscription?

No. The app is a one-time purchase from the Mac App Store, with no recurring fees.

Which file formats can I import from?

Importer for Calendar reads Excel files (.xlsx), CSV and tab-delimited text files. Events can also be saved as an .ics file.

Can I export calendars as well?

Not with this app. Importer for Calendar imports into Apple Calendar and creates .ics files. Export Calendars Pro goes the opposite way, out of Apple Calendar and Reminders into Excel or CSV.
