🆕 Profiles for Non-Users Like Pets & Kids (Plus)

__wf_reserved_inherit

You can now add non-user profiles to your OurCal groups to schedule events for members who don’t have the OurCal app like pets & kids.

These non-user profiles show up in the schedules tab just like any other member, allowing you to view and manage their schedules with ease.

If you’re using OurCal for work, you can use this new feature to represent clients who you don’t want to give group access.

🆕 Enhanced Event Alerts (iOS)

__wf_reserved_inherit

Event notifications on iOS are now more informative. They include the event’s avatar, making it easier to see which event is starting. You can also see the names of the people involved in the event directly in the notification, so there’s no need to open the app to find out.

🆕 Quick Event Emoji Suggestions

When you create an event using the quick entry option, OurCal now suggests a relevant emoji based on the event details you enter. This process happens entirely on your device to protect your privacy. If you prefer a different emoji, you can change it with a single tap.

We’ve also made the quick entry form faster, so it keeps up smoothly, even if you type quickly.

Minor Fixes

This update also includes several smaller improvements, such as fixing issues with setting group emojis when creating a group, correcting the colours for external calendars, and making various other enhancements to improve your experience.

🆕 External Calendars Now Listed Under Only You Group (Plus)

__wf_reserved_inherit

The external calendars feature has been given a dedicated menu in the Settings tab with the new ability to hide select external calendars throughout the app, widgets, and event alerts.

External Calendars are now listed under the Only You group too, more clearly highlighting that external calendars are never shared with anyone.

🆕 Unlimited Event History (Plus)

__wf_reserved_inherit

Plus users can now access all of their past events in OurCal. Previously, only events from the last three months were visible in the calendar tab or search results.

🆕 Delete Messages

__wf_reserved_inherit

You can now delete messages in groups and event threads by long pressing on them and tapping Delete Message.

Thank you to everyone who upvoted this feature on our public roadmap.

🆕 Plus for Groups

Groups can now be upgraded to Plus, giving all members full Plus benefits within that group.

This allows couples, families, and friends to use Plus in their group with a single subscription.

The result is Plus is now more affordable for everyone, especially for larger groups.

Plus for Individuals

We no longer sell new individual Plus subscriptions but existing subscribers can continue to use all of their Plus benefits in all of their groups.

Fixed Custom Calendar Issue for Basic Plan Users

We resolved a bug that was preventing free users from adding or editing events on custom calendars.

Fixed External Calendar Events Not Showing in Widgets

Plus users with external calendars will now correctly see these events in OurCal's widgets if configured to show.

Fixed Default Event Emoji

When creating a new event the emoji will now correctly default to the selected calendar's emoji.
