> End-to-end encrypted shared calendar with a chat on every event

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.

## 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.

## 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.
