FAQ

Common questions

Is what I type sent to a server?
Nothing you type goes to a server of ours. On supported iPhones, Apple Intelligence can add context on the device, and InstaCal's built-in parser works without it.
Can I add a reminder the same way?
Yes. Choose Reminder in the preview. Repeats work there too.
What do the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch apps require?
iPhone and iPad require iOS or iPadOS 18 or later. The included Apple Watch app requires watchOS 11 or later.
How much does InstaCal cost?
InstaCal is $19.99 once, down from $29.99. One App Store purchase includes the Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch apps. There is no subscription, separate mobile purchase, Pro tier, InstaCal account or in-app purchase.
