# Sharing Your Calendar
Sharing your Daylite calendar with other programs lets you work cross functionally, and more efficiently. With your Daylite calendar available in other apps, you can take advantage of the features they offer as well.
Daylite makes it easy to share your calendar with the Calendar app on the [Mac](#on-the-mac), [iPhone, and iPad.](#on-the-iphone-and-ipad)

## Benefits of Sharing your Daylite Calendar
Sharing your Daylite calendar allows you to see your appointments in other apps, so you can add, edit, or leverage your calendar even when you're working outside of Daylite.

**Pro Tip:**
Sharing your Daylite calendar with another program's calendar application DOES NOT merge the databases together. When you share your Daylite calendar, each database is kept as its own calendar group.

## Create App Specific Username and Password
When you share your Daylite calendar, you create a unique app-specific username and password. This allows you to securely connect your Daylite calendar to other applications, like Apple Calendar, without using your main account credentials.
1. Log in to [Account Manager](https://www.marketcircle.com/account/login)
2. Select **Integrations**
3. Click **+ New App Login**.
4. Enter the name of the app or person you’re sharing with, then click **Generate**.
Once completed Daylite will generate a unique username, password, and provide you with a server address. Use these to add your Daylite calendar to a CalDAV-compatible calendar application.
Each time you share your calendar, a new set of credentials is generated. These credentials are specific to your device and application, meaning they won’t affect your main Daylite login. If you need to remove access or update your setup, you can manage these credentials from your Account Manager.

### Making Daylite your Default Calendar on iPad
1. Navigate to **Settings > Calendar** on your iPad.
2. Tap **Default Calendar** and select your Daylite account.
## Add Your Calendar to Other Calendar Apps
Daylite uses **CalDAV**, a standard protocol supported by many calendar applications. This means you can add your Daylite calendar to apps like **Fantastical, and BusyCal**.
Most CalDAV-compatible apps will require your **server address, app-specific username, and password**, which you can generate in your Account Manager under **Calendar and Contact Integration**. If a port number is required, use **443**.
Refer to your calendar app’s documentation for specific setup instructions.
