📆 About the Calendar
The Calendar is where you can see all your past, present, and upcoming sessions. To help you visualize your meetings better, you can choose between three views: day, week, or month.
The Calendar button is on the left sidebar on Home:
You should know that:
- Instant or Planned sessions are marked with blue (🔵)
- Booked sessions are marked with yellow (🟡)
- Events are marked with purple (🟣)
📲 How to use it

To start, edit or delete a session from Calendar, find the meeting and click on it. Access More settings (⋮) at the top of the pop-up. You'll see three options:

🧩 Calendar integrations:

🍎 iCloud Calendar integration
To ease the sync process, open your Apple account in a different tab or device.
Apple requires an app-specific password and two-factor authentication to connect to third-party apps/platforms like Sessions. This password is not the same as your Apple password.
So before you can connect your iCloud Calendar in Sessions, you'll need the app-specific password.
🔐 How to find your app-specific password:
- Sign in to your Apple account.
- If two-factor authentication isn't already activated: Find Security and then turn on Two-factor authentication.
- From App-Specific Passwords, select Generate Password.
- Insert a password label (like "Sessions"). Click on Create.
- Copy the app-specific password.
☁️ Connect iCloud Calendar to Sessions
- From Home's sidebar, access Calendar.
- Click on Calendar Connections.
- Select iCloud Calendar.
- Click on Add calendar.
- Enter your iCloud email address and paste your newly generated app-specific password (see above).
If the sync process is successful, the iCloud Calendar will appear on the left side of the Sessions' Calendar.
Should you uncheck it, events from your iCloud Calendar will not appear in the Sessions Calendar.
✂️ Disconnect iCloud Calendar
To disconnect your iCloud Calendar, click on Calendar connections in the Sessions app.
- Under Active calendar connections, you'll find a list of all your synced calendars
- Click the disconnect button.
Synced calendars will also be visible in Profile →
