Screenshot it,
the event lands in your calendar.
Hand the time and place buried in a chat message, event poster, meeting notice, or email invite to AI — it reads them into a structured event. Confirm or tweak, then write it to your usual calendar in one tap. No more typing it all in by hand.
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 Google, Outlook, and Apple Calendar — a combo you rarely find: it reads casual phrasing and writes once into every calendar you use.
What it does for you
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.
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 Google Calendar, Outlook, and your iPhone's Apple Calendar. Read once and it writes to every calendar you've connected in parallel — if one fails, the rest still go through.
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.
On-device text recognition
OCR runs locally to keep data from leaving your device, and you can try the core reading flow without ever creating an account.
Screenshot it, leave the rest to AI
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
On-device OCR plus AI parsing pull 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 Google / Outlook / Apple Calendar in parallel — then jump straight in to take a look.
When it earns its keep
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.
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
Outlook for work, Google for life — one meeting screenshot writes to both calendars at the same time, no switching back and forth to enter it twice.
