iCalendar implementations
This is a list of calendar programs, applications and services that support the iCalendar RFC2445 standard.
In addition, please note any quirks or bugs with implementations' handling of iCalendar - we've already discovered some in the development of hCalendar and proxies like X2V.
services
Google Calendar
- supports subscribing to "webcal:" and "http:" URLs to iCalendar
products
Apple iCal
Apple iCal application aka iCal.app.
- platform: OSX
- handles "webcal:" URLs and supports subscribing to events.
KOrganizer
- platforms: All Linux, *BSD, etc. (Wherever KDE runs)
- supports the "webcal:" protocol, as well as "http:", "ftp:", "fish:", etc.
Evolution
- platform: Fedora Core 3
- supports "webcal:" protocol
Sunbird
- platforms: Windows XP, others?
- supports "webcal:" protocol
Microsoft Outlook
Microsoft Outlook 2007
Microsoft Outlook 2007 (MSOutlook2k7)
- platforms: Windows
- supports importing and subscribing to .ics files, "webcal:" URLs, etc.
Microsoft Outlook 2003
Microsoft Outlook 2003 (MSOutlook2k3)
- platforms: Windows
- supports importing .ics files
MSOutlook2k3 general comments
For importing, MSOutlook2k3 apparently requires VEVENTS to have UID
, DTSTAMP
, and METHOD
properties. (citation/platform/date tested info needed). If any of the three is not present, returns this message:
This error can appear if you have attempted to save a recurring Lunar appointment in iCalendar format. To avoid this error, set the appointment option to Gregorian instead of Lunar.
After some testing, this seems to be the generic message to indicate a problem with event import.
No such restriction is placed on vCalendar 1.0 events. So, if VERSION:1.0
is output instead of VERSION:2.0
, the only required field is DTSTART
.
Note that VERSION
property may be omitted. In this case, value inferred as 1.0
.
- UID and DTSTAMP is required for Outlook to import. GeoffWebb 14:03, 9 Dec 2005 (PST)
MSOutlook2k3 sample importable iCalendar
BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 METHOD:PUBLISH BEGIN:VEVENT UID:0 DTSTAMP:20060601T080000 DTSTART:20060601T080000 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
MSOutlook2k3 sample importable vCalendar
BEGIN:VCALENDAR BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20060601T080000 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
notes
- the "webcal:" URL protocol scheme is non-standard.
