I went through the steps in the article above and from what I can tell, it’s generating a simple URL that could be used for connecting the calendar to an external calendar client (like Thunderbird / Microsoft Outlook) but it would still require that you enter your iCloud username and password into that client and it would give that client WRITE access to the calendar. This won’t work with SharpTools.
I think the term ‘Public’ is a bit of a misnomer in the iCloud sharing. It’s generating a unique secret URL with a key in it that is more complex than most user passwords are. It’s read-only, so it might be reasonable to use for public sharing if that’s the desired goal, but it’s also secret by default. It only becomes public when you share it with someone.
That being said, unlike Google Calendar, there doesn’t seem to be anyway to reset the iCloud ‘Public Calendar’ URL which is a pretty disappointing security choice on Apple’s part. If you accidentally share a screenshot with your full ‘Public Calendar’ iCloud URL, there doesn’t appear to be any way to reset the URL. So you’d have to create a completely new calendar.
hello there, i am having the same issues with the calendar tile and followed directions from the " How to use Google Calendar in Calendar Tiles". When tile added to the dasboard, it says “nothing in agenda” please help
Have a question on imported calendars that have been imported to a google calendar, but would like to have the composite calendar shown on SharpTools
So for example, if my personal gmail calendar has personal events added directly, as well as imported events, say (NFL schedule URL imported calendar, school imported calendar, etc.). Google Calendar obviously shows all the events, but sharptools only shows the events added directly to google. Is there a way for one sharptools calendar tile to show all these events instead of needing to have 3 different calendar tiles (one for personal, one for NFL, one for school)?
The latter does indeed work (I tested it) but certainly defeats the purpose of a “one stop” dashboard. Understand that premium allows multiple calendars and this might go around that, but as a premium user, would like to have that option.
As a premium user, you can add the additional calendar sources, then edit the existing calendar tile that you already have on your dashboard and select additional calendar sources to display on one tile.
Is it possible to change the filter length? I want to display my son’s calendar which doesn’t have many events (he’s only 3 months old!) but we’d like to be able to see events for say the next 30 days if possible.
The date / time formats are based on the locale reported by your browser. It varies from device to device, but it’s generally a combination of your operating system settings and browser settings. Make sure your OS and browser’s region/language/locale settings are all set accordingly.
Are there any plans on expanding the usage for the calendar?
It would be nice to be able to select different colours for seperate calendars in 1 tile.
Even better would be to be able to use the calendar as an event, to trigger things or rules.
Having buttons and things like rules is amazing, but I have a job and family situation, where every day I get up and leave house at a different time.
Or is this something you rely on tasker for? I don’t have that, it might do what I want though…

Depending on what platform you’re using, there are some ‘calendar’ integrations that create devices that generate events that you can react to in rules.
Hey Josh, is there a way to force calendar language? I’m using a tablet in which the OS is in EN and I don’t want to change that, but I wish to display the agenda days in another language.
The Clock Tile is giving me the correct language, including the day-of-week, but the calendar is not.
I’ll take a look. Probably something we would need to change on our side.
Edit: We pushed an update to translate the weekday using the locale. The formatting won’t be perfect for all languages, but it’s a step in the right direction.
I would note that date formatting is based on the locale of the browser. If the clock is showing up with Portuguese formatted dates, then it sounds like your browser locale is already set as you want. So if we are able to update the Calendar/Agenda tile to use the locale, it should start working as you hoped.
You guys there… you have 12h for am and 12h pm…
