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, 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.

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

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 on the 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.

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.
