What is OurCal?

OurCal is a shared calendar app from OurCal Ltd for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro and Android. Groups of 2 to 100 people share color-coded calendars, and every event has its own chat thread where changes are posted automatically. Profiles, calendars, events, messages and files are end-to-end encrypted by default. It is a paid product: after a free trial, each group needs one monthly subscription sized by its member count.

OurCal is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $6.99 per month for a group of up to 6 people. See every plan

Good for

  • Couples and families split between iPhone and Android
  • Groups that want their shared calendar end-to-end encrypted
  • Shift workers sharing a rota with family and friends
  • People who want the discussion about a plan kept inside the event

Worth knowing

  • There is no free plan: when the trial ends the group is paused until a member subscribes.
  • Each group needs its own subscription, so a family group and a work group are billed separately.
  • Billing is monthly only. OurCal says annual plans were retired on August 1, 2025.
  • No web or Windows app is listed, and pushing OurCal events out to other calendars is not yet available on Android.

Key features

Chat on every event
Each event has its own thread for messages, photos, files and notes, with reactions, replies and quotes. A separate group chat covers anything that does not belong to one event.
Automatic change tracking
When someone edits an event, a before-and-after update is posted automatically in the event chat and the activity feed, and reminders go to the members concerned.
End-to-end encryption by default
Every profile, group, calendar, event, message and file is end-to-end encrypted. The encryption is provided by Seald, whose technology is certified by ANSSI, France's cybersecurity agency.
Calendar sync in both directions
Google, Microsoft and Apple iCloud calendars, plus subscribed calendars, can be shared with a group. OurCal events can be pushed out to a calendar on the device from iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Natural-language event creation
Typing a phrase such as "Dentist Tuesday 3pm for an hour" creates the event, and reminders, to-dos and repeating events work the same way. The vendor says this runs on the device.
Multiple groups and availability sharing
Each group has its own calendars, members and chat, and a person can join any number of groups. Busy times can be shared group by group without revealing event details.
