About AddCal
What is AddCal?
AddCal is a free tool that creates universal 'Add to Calendar' links and simple event pages. It replaces clunky .ics file attachments with one link that works natively in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, Office 365, and Yahoo Calendar. Your audience clicks once, and the event is on their calendar—no extra apps or accounts needed.
What problem does it solve?
Event creators lose up to 70% of potential attendees when they send .ics files that many users can't open. AddCal solves this by automatically detecting the user's device and calendar app (or letting them choose), making it frictionless to save the date. It also provides per-link analytics (clicks, adds, calendar mix, geography) so you know what works.
Who is it for?
AddCal is built for event creators of all kinds: webinar hosts, class instructors, worship leaders, sports league organizers, sales teams running demos, product managers launching new features, and community managers scheduling meetups. It's not for enterprises needing complex CRM integrations or multi-layer access controls—it's a lightweight, free tool optimized for simplicity and reach.
Real use cases
A product manager shares an AddCal link in a launch email, sees 1,800+ Google Calendar adds and 247% more attendance than manual adds. A church uses AddCal's public calendar page to list weekly sermons. A SaaS company embeds AddCal buttons on their webinar registration confirmation page, automatically tracking which calendar apps their audience prefers.
