Apple Calendar
Calendars & Scheduling
Your iPhone calendar, working with your tasks.
Fokus syncs the iCloud calendars you choose, both ways. Meetings you accept on your phone land beside your tasks, and the time blocks you plan in Fokus show up on every Apple device you own.
Integrations
What Fokus adds
Not a mirror of the other tool — capabilities that only exist once the two are connected.
Events and tasks on one timeline
iCloud events render right beside your tasks and time blocks, so the plan you make is based on the day you actually have — conflicts are visible before they happen.
Create and edit from either side
Drag a task into a gap in Fokus and the event appears in Apple Calendar. Move a meeting on your iPhone and your Fokus day updates. Neither side is a read-only mirror.
Every device stays in step
Because the sync runs through iCloud rather than one device, a block you plan at your desk is on your phone and iPad without opening anything.
Auto-scheduling respects your meetings
When Fokus plans your tasks, every synced Apple event counts as busy time — the scheduler fills the gaps, never double-books them.
How the sync works
Under the hood
A CalDAV connection to iCloud, secured with an Apple app-specific password. Apple offers no way to push calendar changes to other apps, so Fokus checks for updates about every five minutes — using change tags so only what actually moved is fetched. Changes you make in Fokus are written to iCloud immediately.

Settings, explained
The controls you actually get after connecting — exactly as they appear in Settings → Integrations.
Manage Calendars
Right after connecting, Fokus asks which calendars to sync — everything starts switched off, so nothing appears until you choose it. You can change the selection any time from this panel.
-
Toggle calendars to enable or disable event syncing
- Home
- Work
- Family
- Subscribed (read-only)
Every calendar in your iCloud account gets its own switch. Calendars shared by someone else sync in but stay read-only, since iCloud will not accept changes to them.
