Cal.com connects to Apple Calendar over CalDAV, using your Apple ID and an app-specific password. Once linked, Cal.com reads your Apple calendars to block busy times and writes new bookings back to the calendar you choose.

## Prerequisites

- Two-factor authentication turned on for your Apple ID.
- An app-specific password generated for Cal.com at `https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage` under **Sign-In and Security** and then **App-Specific Passwords**. Cal.com rejects your regular Apple ID password.
- Access to **Settings → My account → Calendars** in Cal.com.

## Steps

### Step 1: Open your calendar settings

In Cal.com, open **Settings → My account → Calendars**. The page lists the calendars Cal.com checks for conflicts. Click **Add calendar** in the top right to open the App store.

### Step 2: Open the Apple Calendar app

The Calendar apps page lists every calendar integration. Find the **Apple Calendar** card and click **Details** to open its app page.

### Step 4: Enter your CalDAV credentials

On **Connect to Apple Server**, type your Apple ID into the **Apple ID** field and paste the app-specific password into the **Password** field. Click **Save** to link the account.

## Tips

- Your credentials are stored encrypted, so Cal.com can reach Apple's servers on your behalf without you signing in again.
- If Cal.com cannot reach Apple, it reports **Unable to add this Apple Calendar account. Please ensure you're using an app-specific password rather than your account password.** Generate a fresh app-specific password and try again.

## Summary

Apple Calendar is now linked over CalDAV. Back on **Settings → My account → Calendars**, your Apple calendars are listed under **Check for conflicts**, and new bookings are written to the calendar selected under **Add to calendar**.
