Export Calendars Pro App Reviews
I’ve been looking for an application like this for a long time and I finally found this one. Finally, I can export and archive, in a usable form, those calendars I’ve had hanging around since the iCal days, but no longer want on all my devices. There was one issue, in which it could only show four years worth of data at a time, but a simple email to Stefan the developer and within three days he worked on a solution to an Apple imitation and submitted this version to the Apple Mac App Store. Now I can recommend this software without a doubt to anyone who needs to export their calendars to a spreadsheet for archiving or for invoicing or any other time tracking. Get it if this is something you’ve been looking for. You won’t be disappointed! Thanks again Stefan.
This is the easiest and best way I’ve found to convert Apple Calendar and iCal .ics files to native Excel and .csv files for import into other apps. I tried all of the other methods that you’ve probably already Googled. Export Calendars Pro is fast and easy. The data in the spreadsheets it outputs is clean and well-organized. Well worth the $5 I paid. My only regret is not finding this app 4 hours ago. =M=
This is a Great App! It does exactly what I needed it to do, easily, quickly and efficiently. I have encountered no problems or issues so far. My thanks to the writers and developers of this program. Great job! Lee B.
Since becoming a contractor with multiple clients, I have had to track my hrs. Im sure there are tons of time tracking apps, etc. But I choose to put everything in Mac Calendar and encode the client info in the subject. This app works flawlessly for extracting the events so I can build a timesheet. I wish it had a cli but the gui is pretty good. The range of fields it can export is huge.
For those that use Calendar for tracking their time and then billing for that time, stop looking and get this App. It used to take hours, and typically on a week end, to search, copy, paste, change the format, then to excel….Now: select, export, summarize. BAM - it’s done. Thank you Stefan for a great app.
You saved me so much time
Even though it was ten bucks. You saved me hours of work which I now did in a matter of minutes.
About 11 years ago I started entering pretty much everything I do into iCal / Calendar on my Mac … and I didn’t think about the fact that years on down the line I’d have so much stuff in there that calling it dog slow would only be accurate if we’re talking about a 16 year old 3 legged dog with severe arthritis (kinda like the rest of OS X these days, but that’s another story). However, I didn’t want to just delete old Calendar entries, because I’ve got a lot of valuable history in there. So, being a Unix geek, I started exploring writing a Perl script to parse all the .ics files in my ~/Library/Calendars folder and dumping the data out to a CSV file. To say that is a very complex task that would have taken me hours and hours to accomplish is also a significant understatement. Then I came across this app … which dumps out Calendars to either CSV or Excel format. Let’s see, while some would consider this app expensive at $10, when I think about how much time I saved and how much that time is worth, this is one of the best bargains around! Highly recommended.
I manage multiple performance artists and we collaboratively maintain iCal calendars for bookings, daily activity, transportation/mileage, and overnight travel/expenses. It’s quick, easy and cloud-based. Year-end data dump is SIMPLE with this well-designed app. Just select the calendars you want, export the calendars and open the downloaded .ics file in the application. Select the parameters you want exported to your spreadsheet (including start/end/duration times, NOTES, etc) and export as .csv (or Excel) file. Presto! Add a column and categorize for accounting/tax prep. Done. LOVE IT AND SAVES ME HOURS. Thank you, Stefan for a great app!
Need help
Have not found a way to get assistance
Great For Pulling aout Detailed Calender Darta
THis is a great way to extract names, address, phone number and other data and pout in excel
Super helpful
This app has been super helpful for me at work.
This software is Eloquent-if such a word can be used for software :)
Easy to follow user interface; creating the export of calendars that I needed was so quick. I love how the notes appeared in the exported spreadsheet (already formatted to wrap text). Such a useful utility app. Thank you so much for creating it :)
Best Investiment in a long time
Multiple clients, multiple time events each month and this app is a life saver. Makes invoicing a breeze. Wonderfully single. Does just what it’s supposed to do! Thank you.
Great App - Needs one fix
I love this App! So useful. Only problem is I have events occuring in diferent time zones, and some beginning and ending in diferent time zones (international flights etc.). When exporting, the file show times incorrectly for every event not occuring in the present/local time zone. Also, does not show proper times when beginning and ending in diferent time zones. (My Apple calandar displays all correctly)(Exported cal does not) I really hope this bug can be corrected.
Wow! What a time saver!
After enjoying some of this developers other apps, I thought I would check this one out. This app is amazing, I no longer have to manually type information that I need from Calendar. A few clicks and a beautiful Excel appears. I never thought that an app like this way out there. What a time saver! Thank you!
Time zones from events not exporting correctly
Two recommendations: First have a look at event time zones they are not exporting correctly. Second incorporate the ability to load the data from an ICS file. I use Fantastical and often have to work offline. It would be easier to work from an ICS file than to have to sync to cloud then to wait for internet so I can sync the data.
Brilliant app - highly recommend
This is a high quality app that does one job extremely well - it allows you to export events (and reminders) from your Mac Calendar to an XL/CSV/TSV file. The app is well built and has many useful options for filtering the specific events you want to export. The developer (Stefan) is helpful and quick to respond to feedback and suggestions. Before discovering Export Calendars Pro I had tried a couple of free Chrome extensions to download the entries from my Google calendar, none of which would work properly. This app saved me a lot of time and is well worth the money.
very helpful app!
After several hours of trying different things, I finally realized that it was only my macbook calendar that was not updating with the cloud database account and thus your app was not working with the current information that was correct on other devices and apps. From the Calendar>accounts I unchecked the internet database, shut down the calendar app and and then re-opened and re-checked the database and it populated correctly. Now all of my devices and apps, including yours have the current info. That was really frustrating but I wanted to make sure to let you know the result in case it happens to someone else. Thank you for your application, it’s very helpful.
just wish the titles could be customized
just wish the titles could be customized and that it could be saved like that for next use
Great for invoicing
I keep track of all my client hours in iCal and this works perfectly for exporting them. Simple and easy to use.
Works well unless you don't know how to do something.
The Doc says it's possible to export in different formats, including writing to the clipboard but it doesn't say HOW to do this (which menu option? which setting?.) When I export it makes an .xlsx no matter what file extension I give it (yes, tried that.) No indication anywhere on how to change this setting/ remembered thing. No place to ask a question except here (!!)
Solved very unique problem!
I use my iCal like a diary, so every hour is filled . . . . and I've been doing this since 2008! So, I've come close to hitting the 50K reminder limit for iCloud and needed a way to keep all of my entries while deleting events to make room. This works perfectly so now I have all of my entries in Excel that I can use to convert to Word, or whatever else I need . . . . great app!
Great Exporting to Excel
Export Calendars Pro nicely sorts and arranges entries from Calendar to Excel. It's a needed tool for anyone working with Calendar as an organization's master calendar.
Useless for Reminders
Got a nicely organized grocery list in Reminders? Too bad, this app reorders the list -- there is no option to just leave it alone. It also loses all structure -- it doesn't understand grouped items, like a "Dairy" section with Milk and Yogurt. Total ripoff.
Option-ful
Surprised to find my favorite 'export to clipboard' as desired. No doubt it was a solid buy.
Very good for Excel user
For those Excel users, this is an excellent app, is fast and accurate, I haven't found issues yet, pretty simple to use, very good app.
Perfect!
We export and print our weekly schedule to multiple tabloid size sheets and post in the office for quick reference.
Simple and works
If Apple were on the job you wouldn't have to buy an app like this, but could just export from Calendar. Well anyway, you can't, and this app works so nicely that I don't even feel bad about paying for it!
Finally!
Thank you for such a common sense app! It is so logical, and a huge help for my live entertainment business. I have been using this now for months (and also in the Catalina beta) with no problems at all. Thanks again!
Saved me a ton of time!
Very happy I found this! Saved me so much time going through my calendar!
Well designed
Great application that is a joy to use. I track my billing hours in my calendar and I was maintaining an AppleScript to total my billing hours each month. This is a significantly better solution and it includes some really nice touches like rounding up durations in 15 minute increments. Unlike many utilities from independent developers, this one has a well thought-out design and a professional interface. It is “polished." There is a free demo on the developer’s website that lets you try out the features before you buy.

Lifesaver if you need to export events
