Screenshot it,
the event lands in your calendar.
SnapCal is a schedule-reading app for iPhone that turns screenshots of chat messages, posters and meeting notices into calendar events, then writes them to Apple Calendar and Feishu once you confirm. The free plan includes 10 reads a month; a subscription or a one-time lifetime membership unlocks unlimited use.
It's not just OCR copy-paste: it actually understands the casual, real-world phrasing in group chats, posters, and email invites, and one read writes in parallel to Feishu and Apple Calendar — a combo you rarely find: it reads casual phrasing and writes once into every calendar you use.
What does SnapCal do for me?
Screenshot to event
Pick a screenshot with timing in it and AI pulls out the title, date, start and end times, location, and notes — barely any typing required. For chat screenshots, the title is organized as person · company · topic, so you see whose meeting it is at a glance.
Reads casual phrasing and messy layouts
Built to parse chat threads, posters, video-call invites, and email invitations — even loose phrasing like "next Wednesday afternoon" or "this Friday" lands on the right date.
One read, every calendar synced
Works with your iPhone's Apple Calendar and Feishu. Read once and it writes to both in parallel — if one fails, the other still goes through. Added Google or Outlook under iPhone Settings? Those show up inside Apple Calendar too.
Editable results, transparent confidence
Each result carries an AI confidence flag, and every field is editable before you confirm — so a wrong time never slips straight into your calendar.
Straight from Share Sheet & Shortcuts
No need to open the app — send a screenshot to SnapCal right from any app's Share Sheet or an iOS Shortcut, down to a single tap.
Screenshots aren't kept after reading
To read an event, your screenshot is compressed and sent to our AI processing service, and it is not kept after recognition. On-device OCR is only used for the preview and is never uploaded. You can try the core reading flow without ever creating an account.
How does SnapCal turn a screenshot into an event?
Pick a screenshot
Choose a screenshot with event details from your library, or send it straight to SnapCal from any app via the Share Sheet or a Shortcut.
AI reads it
AI vision reading pulls out the title, date, start and end times, location, and notes in about 1.5 seconds — nailing the common cases in one go.
Confirm or tweak
Check the AI confidence on the results page, edit any field you like, and only move on once it's right.
One tap to calendar
Pick your target calendars and one tap writes to Feishu and Apple Calendar in parallel — then jump straight in to take a look.
When is SnapCal worth using?
Meetings dropped in a group chat
A coworker fires off "product review Thursday 10am, Room A" in the group. Screenshot it to SnapCal and it becomes a calendar event with the location filled in — for chat screenshots, the title is organized as person · company · topic, not a vague "catch up."
Grabbing dates off a poster
Spot an expo, talk, or show poster, screenshot it to read the time and place, and skip the chance of copying the date down wrong.
Work and personal calendars at once
Feishu for work, Apple Calendar for life — one meeting screenshot writes to both at the same time, no switching back and forth to enter it twice.

You might be wondering
What if it reads something wrong?
Every result comes with an AI confidence flag, and the title, date, time, location, and notes are all editable before anything reaches your calendar. The event is only created once you confirm it's right.
Which calendars does it support?
Your iPhone's Apple Calendar and Feishu — a single read writes to both. If you've added Google, Outlook, or other accounts under iPhone Settings → Calendar, SnapCal can write into those too, since they show up as part of Apple Calendar.
How much can I do on the free plan?
The free plan covers 10 reads a month. For unlimited, subscribe at $1.99/month or $9.9/year (roughly 58% less than monthly), or buy the lifetime membership once: no renewals, Family Sharing supported, price shown in the app.
Does SnapCal have an Android version?
No. SnapCal is iPhone only, downloaded from the App Store, and there is no Android version. For other ways to do it, see Which apps turn a screenshot into a calendar event?
How does SnapCal read an event, and are screenshots uploaded?
To read an event, the screenshot is compressed and sent to an AI processing service (a third-party AI model) and is not kept after recognition. The app also has an on-device OCR module (Apple Vision) that is used only for the preview and never uploaded. Recognition data is not sold, and you can try the core recognition without signing up.
How many free reads are there, and how is it priced?
The free tier includes 10 recognitions a month. A subscription unlocks unlimited use at $1.99 a month or $9.9 a year, with a 7-day free trial on the first subscription. A lifetime membership (since 1.10.10) is a one-time purchase with no renewal and Family Sharing; the price shown in the app applies.
How many events does one screenshot give, and what if it reads wrong?
One screenshot gives one event. A read usually takes 1 to 2 seconds and pre-fills the fields for you to check and edit, and after the event is written you have 10 seconds to undo. Confirmed events go to the iPhone calendar and Feishu; other calendar accounts signed in under iPhone Settings can be picked through the system calendar interface.
Who is SnapCal for, and who is it not for?
It suits people who keep running into times and places in group chats, posters, meeting notices and order confirmations: one screenshot gives an event with title, date and place. It reads one event per screenshot. To sort a pile of screenshots use ScreenStack, and to turn screenshot content into expenses and to-dos use ScreenNote.
Do I need an account? Is my data safe?
You can try the core reading flow without signing up. To read an event, your screenshot is compressed and sent to our AI processing service and is not kept after recognition. On-device OCR is only used for the preview and is never uploaded. Your data is never sold.
