# Calendar Sharing
Daylite calendar sharing lets you view and manage your Daylite appointments in Apple Calendar and other apps — on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Daylite uses CalDAV, a standard calendar sync protocol supported by Apple Calendar, Fantastical, BusyCal, and most other calendar apps, to keep your schedule up to date across all your devices.
**In brief:**
* Each device or app you share with needs its own app-specific username and password, generated in Account Manager
* Sharing your Daylite calendar does not merge databases — each stays as its own calendar group
* You can choose whether Daylite categories appear as separate calendars or as one unified calendar in other apps
* To share a specific appointment with a teammate so it appears on their devices, add them as an invitee on the appointment
***
### Sharing an Appointment with Other Daylite Users
Daylite appointments support two types of invitees: other Daylite users on your team, and Daylite contacts (clients, suppliers, or other external people). This section covers inviting other Daylite users — which is what's required for an appointment to appear on a teammate's calendar outside of Daylite.
When you add a Daylite user as an invitee, the appointment appears in their Daylite calendar. If that user has also set up Daylite calendar sharing on their devices, the appointment will sync to their calendars outside of Daylite automatically.
To invite a Daylite user to an appointment:
1. Open or create an **Appointment** in Daylite.
2. In the detail card under **Invitees**, add the Daylite users you want to share it with.
3. Click **Save**.
The appointment will appear in each invitee's Daylite calendar and sync to their other calendars outside of Daylite, as long as an invitee has set up Calendar Sharing.
***
### 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.\

### Add Your Calendar to Apple Calendar
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Mac" %}
1. Open Calendar and click **Calendar** > **Add Account** 
2. Choose **Other CalDAV Account...** and click **Continue** 
3. Change the Account Type to **Manual**\
4. Copy/Paste the app specific Username and Password, and add the Server Address\
5. Click **Sign In** Once you've entered your app-specific username, password, and server details, your Daylite calendar will be added to Apple Calendar. Your appointments will now sync automatically, keeping your schedule up to date across your devices and apps.
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="iPhone & iPad" %}
1. Open **Settings** > **Apps** > **Calendar**
2. Tap Calendar **Accounts** > **Add Account**
3. Choose **Other**
4. Tap **Add CalDAV Account**
5. Copy/Paste the server, and app specific Username and Password in the correct fields
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Choosing How Daylite Appears in Apple Calendar
When sharing your Daylite calendar via CalDAV, you can control how your appointments appear in Apple Calendar.
Navigate to **Daylite > Settings > Calendar Integration**, then select the **In Other Apps** tab. At the top, find the **Show your Daylite Calendar in other apps** setting. You have two options:
**Separate calendars for each appointment** — each Daylite category (such as "Vacation" or "Client Meetings") appears as its own calendar in Apple Calendar. This lets you show or hide specific types of appointments independently, and is useful if you want a category like Vacation to be visible as a dedicated calendar on your iPhone or iPad.
**One calendar** — all Daylite appointments appear together under a single calendar. This gives you a cleaner, unified view of your schedule when working outside of Daylite.
***
### Make Daylite Your Default Calendar
Once your Daylite calendar is connected to Apple Calendar or another app, you can set Daylite as the default calendar for new appointments. This means any appointment created outside of Daylite — whether you ask Siri to "add a meeting tomorrow at 2pm", tap the + button in Apple Calendar, or create an event from another app — will be added directly to Daylite and sync back automatically.
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Mac" %}
1. Navigate to **Calendar > Settings > General**.
2. Click **Default Calendar** and choose Daylite.
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="iPhone & iPad" %}
1. Navigate to **Settings > Calendar** on your iPad.
2. Tap **Default Calendar** and select your Daylite account.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Remove Daylite Calendar Sharing on the Mac
If you no longer want your Daylite calendar to appear in the Calendar app on a device, you can disable calendar sharing.\
This removes the calendar from the device's Calendar app, but doesn't delete them from Daylite.
1. Go to the Calendar app on your Mac
2. Choose **Calendar** > **Accounts**, then select your Daylite account you want to delete
3. Click - at the bottom of the account list
4. Log into [Account Manager](https://www.marketcircle.com/account/login)
5. Select **Integrations**
6. Within the **Calendar and Contact Integrations** list, locate the App specific username you wish to remove
7. Click **Revoke**
8. Click **Revoke** again to confirm

### Frequently Asked Questions
**Do I need a separate app login for each device I share Daylite with?** Yes — we recommend that each device or calendar app has its own app-specific username and password. You generate these in Account Manager under Integrations. This keeps your main Daylite credentials secure and lets you revoke access to individual devices at any time without having to reconfigure all your other devices.
**What's the difference between "Separate calendars for each appointment" and "One calendar"?** "Separate calendars" means each Daylite category (such as Vacation or Client Meetings) appears as its own calendar in Apple Calendar, so you can show or hide them independently. "One calendar" combines all Daylite appointments into a single calendar — simpler to manage if you don't need to filter by category in your external app.
**Can I share a specific appointment with a teammate rather than my whole calendar?** Yes. Your teammates can already view your calendar within Daylite without needing to be invited to individual appointments. However, if you want a specific appointment to appear on their devices outside of Daylite — such as on their iPhone or in Apple Calendar — you need to add them as an invitee on that appointment. You don't need to do this for every appointment, only those you want visible on their Daylite calendars or external calendars.
**Does Daylite Calendar Sharing work with Google Calendar or Outlook?** Daylite uses CalDAV, which is supported by Apple Calendar, Fantastical, BusyCal, and other CalDAV-compatible apps. Google Calendar and Outlook have limited or no CalDAV support — for those, refer to your calendar app's documentation to confirm compatibility.
**How do I stop Daylite from appearing in a specific calendar app?** Remove the account from your calendar app and revoke the app-specific credentials in Account Manager under Integrations. This removes Daylite from that device only — your appointments in Daylite are not affected.
