Adding a calendar account is pretty straightforward - you must've done that when you first launched Calendars. But did you know you could use multiple calendar accounts at the same time? For example, you might use iCloud calendar for birthdays, Outlook for work stuff, a few Google accounts for personal and family planning.
How to add a new Google, Exchange, Outlook, or iCloud account
- Open the Calendars app.
- Click Calendars in the Menu Bar at the top.
- Select Settings > + Add account button.
- Follow the onscreen instructions. You can add Google, Exchange, Outlook, or iCloud accounts.
All of the connected calendars will sit side-by-side in your preferred view so you can see if your work meeting overlaps with taking your daughter to the dentist.
- Tap at the top left to open the sidebar.
- Tap the Settings button at the top left.
- You'll see your connected accounts at the top, then tap Add Account.
- Select the one you want and enter your credentials.
Adding other calendar accounts on Mac
If there isn’t your calendar in the Add Account options list, you can add it by following these steps:
- Add the needed calendar to the local Calendars app first.
- Open Calendars by Reaadle.
- Press ⌘, > Local Calendars. Alternatively, click Calendars in the Menu Bar at the top, then select Settings > Local Calendars.
- Enable the display Local Calendars toggle and choose the accounts to display. That’s it!
Note: If you already have some of the accounts added to Calendars by Readdle and don’t want them to be added twice to the app, disable them in the Local Calendars section of Settings (⌘,). Disabled accounts will still be available for other apps and systems.
