iCalendar Desktop: The Complete Guide to Managing Events Locally

Top 7 Features of iCalendar Desktop You Should Be Using

1. Calendar Views (Day/Week/Month/Year)
   Quickly switch between granular and overview perspectives to plan short-term tasks or long-range schedules.

2. Offline Local Storage & Sync
   Store calendars locally for full offline access; enable selective sync with CalDAV or other services to keep chosen calendars updated without exposing all data.

3. Natural-Language Event Entry
   Create events by typing phrases like “Lunch with Sam tomorrow 1–2pm” — the app parses date, time, and basic details automatically.

4. Recurring Events & Exceptions
   Define complex repeating rules (every third Tuesday, workdays, custom intervals) and add exceptions (skip, move, or modify single occurrences).

5. Multiple Calendar Management & Color-Coding
   Combine work, personal, and project calendars in one interface; use colors and layer toggles to control visibility and reduce clutter.

6. Invite & Attendee Management (iTIP/iMIP Support)
   Send and receive meeting invites, track RSVPs, propose new times, and view attendee availability when integrated with supported servers.

7. Alarms, Notifications & Smart Reminders
   Use time-based alerts, location-based reminders, and configurable snooze rules to ensure you don’t miss important events.

If you want, I can expand any feature into a short how-to or show screenshots of where to find these options in the app.
