iCalendar

Lifetick provides a “calendar subscribe” function which will synchronise your tasks and goals in calendar applications that support iCalendar. (e.g. Outlook 2007*, Apple iCal, Google Calendar). * Outlook has limited support

We have provided a couple of examples from common applications. If your application is not featured here, then simply use these examples as a guide when adding the iCalendar feed.

Google Calendar Example Start by clicking the “calendar subscribe” button on the Navigate screen in Lifetick, then;
  1. Click the 'Copy to clipboard' button
    2. Then go to Google Calendar
  2. On the left hand side menu, Add "other calendar"
  3. Select "Add by URL"
  4. Paste the Lifetick calendar URL (from step 1) into the url field.
  5. Note: Google Calendar automatically updates the calendar at a regular interval. That means that your calendar may appear out of date at times until the automatic refresh occurs. There is no way to force a refresh or alter the refresh rate.

Apple's iCal desktop calendar Example Start by clicking the “calendar subscribe” button on the Navigate screen in Lifetick, then;
  1. Click the “Launch calendar application” button
    2. This should open iCal (if you are asked any questions by your browser, ensure you select any option which allows iCal to open)
  2. Click 'Subscribe' from the confirm dialog then confirm the Calendar's name and colour.
  3. Set a 'Refresh rate' for the calendar. This allows iCal to continually check for changes to your data.


Additional information:
  • Goal and Tasks are displayed as all day events.
