What’s new
Little improvements. New possibilities. An easier way to get your plans into your calendar. Here’s what we’ve been working on, week by week.
Week of
Find years with the same calendar
- Find your calendar twin with the free repeating calendar. Start with the current year or enter another year to see earlier and later years with exactly the same dates and weekdays, compare any month side by side, and share the result.
- Plan longer breaks from today with the free PTO and annual leave planner. Use the leave you have left this year or plan ahead through 2028. See which dates to request, how many days off in a row each break gives you, and select or deselect dates in the calendar to make the plan your own. Start with one long break in the editable calendar. See every month in your plan at a glance, jump to later dates, and import your chosen leave dates. Your dates and settings save on this device for your next visit. Apply changed preferences beside your settings whenever you want a new suggested plan. Holiday calendar choices appear only when your country has more than one option.
Week of
Edit calendar files in your browser
- Open an existing calendar in the free ICS editor. Change event details, add or delete events, undo changes and download the complete file without signing in or uploading it.
- Browsing the free tools avoids unnecessary background sign-in requests.
- Imported all-day events keep their full date span when changed to timed events. Calendar choices stay visible, with a warning when Microsoft cannot safely import historical time-zone rules.
- Simple yearly repeats stay editable. Selected-event downloads keep unrelated events out, and timezone changes preserve older dates. Repeat end dates stay as entered, and unchanged repeat settings leave Undo history alone.
- Browse events with readable dates and search by title or location. Find time zones by city or name and use all seven Add to calendar choices. Repeating events keep their rules, saved exceptions and alarms.
- Changes apply as you type. Undo keeps your place, and turning All-day on and back off restores the timed schedule you started with. Unfinished edits stay available when you return in the same tab.
- Downloads and calendar links include a single linked Just Schedule Me credit; paid accounts can turn it off. Calendar details stay intact, updated locations clear stale coordinates, and time-zone changes include their calendar rules. Invitations stay unchanged.
- Clearing a yearly event’s start date or time keeps the editor open so you can finish the edit or undo it. Duration-based events show their original start and duration. Recurring overrides clearly identify changes that affect future dates. File-loading announcements work with screen readers, and error text is easier to read in dark mode.
- Protected dates and repeat settings have yellow warnings. Errors appear in red and point to what needs correcting. Download the file before closing the tab.
- Choosing an end date for a repeating event now keeps the day you selected in time zones behind UTC.
Week of
Shared schedules and a new Fastmail guide
- Upload a shared schedule and choose the people or groups you need with a paid plan. Review their events beside the original image before adding them to your calendar.
- Import weekly and monthly work schedules as individual shifts, including shifts that finish after midnight.
- Warnings about unreadable roster details stay visible while you choose and review your shifts, so you can check them against the image.
- Jump back to the top of long event lists with the arrow button in the bottom-right corner.
- See how to select and review events from a shared schedule in the new homepage video demo.
- A new guide shows how to import an ICS file into Fastmail or subscribe to a calendar URL, with a drag-and-drop demo, direct settings links, a sample file and fixes for common problems.
- Clearer plan descriptions explain what is free, when chat editing and shared-schedule selection need a paid plan, and the 50-event free export limit for CSV to ICS. For PDF input, paste its text or upload a screenshot of the page.
- Free plans now get every event from an image with several schedules, and you can delete the ones you don't need. Choosing just your row or team is on paid plans.
- You can now delete events you don't need before adding them to your calendar. When you're signed in, they leave your event history too.
- Reopening shared-schedule choices checks your current plan, even when your browser still shows an older subscription. If paid access ends, history saves show a clear refusal instead of asking you to keep retrying.
- Already subscribed? Sign in directly from the shared-schedule upgrade prompt.
- Prices keep their exact amounts, including cents, and sale comparisons no longer use estimated original prices.
- The Lifetime offer now runs through October 31. The price increases at midnight London time on November 1.
Week of
Edit bigger lists, read slower images and compare plans
- Turn a calendar file into a PDF agenda with the free ICS to PDF converter. Paste or upload an ICS file to see every event grouped by day in your time zone, with its location, organizer, link and notes, then download the PDF to print or share. Emoji print in colour, and events written in other languages, such as Russian, Arabic, Chinese or Japanese, print in full. Your calendar stays on your device.
- Paid plans can now turn off Just Schedule Me branding in your settings. This removes the link from your calendar event notes and the credit line from printable calendars and habit trackers. Branding stays on until you turn it off.
- The ICS viewer, ICS to CSV and ICS to PDF tools now share one result screen with Export CSV, Download PDF and Print. Print sends the PDF agenda itself to your printer. Under PDF options you can change the agenda's title, hide the time zone, or leave out notes for a compact list, and the file is named after the title.
- Event notes in the ICS viewer and in CSV exports no longer end with our own Just Schedule Me line.
- Events that end in another time zone, such as flights, now show the right end time in the ICS tools, their CSV exports and PDF agendas.
- PDF agendas print every character of traditional Chinese, and of Japanese and Korean written with kanji or hanja, and calendars with hundreds of events become a PDF in a fraction of the time.
- Start with text or an image on the homepage, then continue on the schedule page to review your events before adding them to your calendar.
- When your free creations run out, a clearer account prompt shows one signup button and keeps sign-in easy to find on smaller screens.
- Create events 3 times a month for free: once without an account, then sign in for two more. Each text submission or image counts once, including all events extracted from it. Failed attempts do not count.
- Compare creation allowances, event editing, calendar export and saved history on our updated pricing page.
- Your remaining free creations load more reliably when our service is slow.
- Paid plans can edit up to 420 events together through chat. Review your changes before adding them to your calendar.
- Slow image scans have more time to finish. Clear image errors explain when you need a different image instead of asking you to repeat the same upload.
- Large event lists open a few cards at a time, so you can start reviewing sooner. Add all still includes the whole list.
Week of
Edit your schedule in your own words
- Paid plans can now edit one event or a whole schedule through chat. Ask to move a meeting, change a location, or adjust several events together.
- Keep your event details in view while you chat, and see which details changed before adding events to your calendar.
- Paid members no longer see the ‘Try it free’ prompt in the navigation.
Week of
Count down to your next day off
- New holiday countdowns help you plan ahead for US and UK holidays, including the next UK bank holiday.
- A refreshed look brings more consistent menus, forms, and event previews across the site.
- Subscription management is easier to find from your account.
Week of
A smoother path from checkout to calendar
- Sign in before buying a plan so your purchase is connected to the right account.
- Clearer payment status messages help you recover if checkout is interrupted or your plan is still being activated.
- A new step-by-step guide explains how to import a calendar file into Google Calendar, with a sample file to try.
Week of
Bring your whole schedule along

- Find previous events in your dashboard, reopen them, and edit their details before adding them to your calendar again.
- Create repeating reminders with the new free recurring reminder tool.
- A temporary hiccup while reading your schedule no longer ends the attempt before an automatic retry can finish.
Week of

- A simpler dashboard keeps your account and scheduling tools close at hand. Signing in takes you straight there.
- Event previews keep the focus on your event details, without the promotional footer getting in the way.
- The calendar file tools remain free to use without spending your schedule-reading allowance.
