Here's what that means and why it matters.
Your calendar is more personal than your email. It knows when you see your therapist, when you're meeting a lawyer, when you're job hunting, when your kid has a doctor's appointment, when you're trying to have a baby, when your relationship is in trouble. It knows the shape of your actual life.
Google Calendar is free because you are the product. Your events are scanned. The patterns in your schedule feed advertising profiles. "Dentist Thursday" tells them your insurance situation. "Divorce lawyer Monday" tells them your relationship status. "AA meeting every Tuesday" tells them something you may not want anyone to know. They don't sell your calendar entries directly — they sell the inferences. It's legal. It's in the terms you didn't read. It happens every time you open the app.
Better. Apple's business model isn't advertising, so they have less incentive to mine your data. iCloud calendar sync is encrypted in transit. But your calendar still lives on Apple's servers. Apple can see it if a court orders them to. And if you're using Gmail or Google accounts synced to Apple Calendar — Google still gets the data on their end.
Nothing. Your data lives in your browser's localStorage. It never leaves your device. There is no server. There is no account. There is no company reading your plans. Export your data as a JSON file whenever you want. Import it on another device. Delete the app and your data is gone — actually gone, not "deleted from our systems within 90 days."
The tradeoff: no sync between devices unless you export and import. We think that's worth it. You might not. That's a fair choice to make with full information.
Because nobody loves a fucken calendar as much as we do. And the ones that exist aren't built for you — they're built around you, extracting value from your attention and your data. This one is just yours.
