Land on your event after creating it

2026.5.21

May 20, 2026

Not every recurring event follows a pattern. Practices, lessons, shifts, appointments — sometimes you just need the same event on a handful of specific dates. Two new features work together to make this effortless.

1. Duplicate events to multiple dates at once

Two iPhones side by side. On the left, the event actions menu showing Edit, Move, Duplicate, and Cancel options. On the right, the "Duplicate on..." screen showing a live calendar preview with three selected dates highlighted in blue, existing events dimmed, and a confirm button showing the count.
Pick the dates, see the preview, confirm — no more creating the same event one by one.

A new duplication sheet lets you pick multiple dates at once, with a live preview right on your calendar. Selected dates show the new event at full opacity while existing events dim, so you can see exactly how it'll look before confirming. Duplicated events no longer have "(Copy)" appended to the title, so they look clean from the start.

2. Auto-fill suggestions from past events

An iPhone showing the New Event screen with "An" typed in the auto-fill field, displaying three matching suggestions from past events — Annie's Birthday, Annie's Birthday Party with location and time, and Anniversary — each with emoji, details, and member count.
Start typing and OurCal fills in the rest from your history — times, locations, members, and all.

Start typing in the new event auto-fill field and OurCal suggests matching events from your history — showing the emoji, title, time, duration, and location. Tap a suggestion to fill in the details instantly.

Improved subscription management

The Subscriptions screen has been redesigned with clearer sections for billing and groups, contextual help, and state-specific actions so you always know what to do next — whether that's upgrading, managing, or fixing a subscription. Unassigned or unmanaged subscriptions now surface clearly with direct actions to resolve them.

Groups that need attention now surface more prominently: blocked groups show a clear alert when you open the app, appear with a red indicator in widgets, and are included in your app badge count so nothing slips through the cracks. Billing managers also get clear warnings before a subscription expires — with a badge, a daily reminder, and a one-tap option to re-subscribe.

2026.5.1

April 30, 2026

Smarter event bars

Two iPhones side by side. On the left, the August 2026 calendar view showing expanded event bars with time subtitles and colour-coded events filling their rows. On the right, the agenda timeline for Thursday 20 August with events filling their full time slots and showing time range subtitles.
Zoom in for more detail — event bars expand to show times, subtitles, and wrapped titles across the calendar and agenda.

Building on pinch-to-zoom, event bars in the calendar now intelligently expand to show more detail as you zoom. Timed events reveal their time underneath and all-day events wrap longer titles — with busier days staying compact while quieter days get room to breathe.

In the agenda timeline, row heights are now set automatically so even a 30-minute event comfortably fits two lines — showing a time range subtitle underneath the title. Multi-day events display contextual subtitles — "starts 09:30" on the first day, "all-day" on middle days, "ends 17:00" on the last.

Redesigned widgets

Two iPhones showing the redesigned Up Next widget on a blue iOS home screen. The left phone shows the large widget with a multi-day layout displaying events across Sunday and Tuesday. The right phone shows the widget configuration screen with calendar and member filtering options.
Redesigned Up Next widget — multi-day layout with calendar and member filtering.

The Up Next and Lock Screen widgets have been completely refreshed.

Up Next now shows a dynamic multi-day layout that fills the available space across multiple days, with medium and large widgets using a two-column layout. A bold date header shows today's date, with "Tomorrow" and upcoming days flowing below.

The Lock Screen widget now matches the style of the main app — with calendar colour pills, emoji, and member colour indicators.

Both widgets now support calendar and member filtering, so you can choose exactly which calendars and members to show. The filter picker shows colour circles and "Me" for easy identification.

Profile photo improvements

Two iPhones side by side. On the left, the "Move and Scale" square crop screen for framing a profile photo before uploading. On the right, a full-screen view of another member's profile photo.
Crop your photo to perfection — and tap any member's photo to view it full screen.

A new square crop step lets you perfectly frame your profile photo before uploading — move and scale to get it just right. You can also tap any profile photo to view it full screen. And if you don't have a photo yet, tapping your avatar takes you straight to the picker.

Default calendar

Calendars now show a "Default" label in Settings and pickers, and a default is automatically set if you haven't chosen one. To change your default, tap your avatar in the top left of the calendar → Calendars → select the calendar you want → toggle Default Calendar on.

Fixes & Improvements

  • Fixed synced calendar events disappearing on Android when the sync was set up from an iPhone
  • Redesigned recurrence field in event creation — now always shows a label like "Daily", "Weekly", or "Repeat" so it's clear how to make an event recurring
  • New edit button in the event details toolbar for quicker access
  • Clearer event action labels — "Edit Event", "Move Event", and "Duplicate Event"
  • Calendar sync picker now includes "Add Account" and "Subscribe to Calendar" options, with guidance on how to set them up
  • Time picker on iOS now uses 5-minute intervals for quicker selection
  • Max zoom is now dynamic — adjusting to your content while always keeping at least two full weeks visible
  • Fixed online status sometimes showing you as active when the app was in the background
  • Fixed messages sometimes being marked as read while the app was in the background
  • "Last active" times are now more accurate and show a clear "Last active" prefix on profile screens
  • Fixed notifications sometimes showing "Open OurCal to view" instead of the actual message
  • Fixed reaction notifications sometimes showing "You have 0 new messages"
  • Fixed the login sheet getting stuck when continuing with a sign-in method that doesn't have an account
  • Fixed a phantom time zone change appearing in chat when editing events across daylight saving transitions
  • Fixed the date picker preventing multi-day events from being shortened to fewer days
  • Fixed toggling all-day off on a multi-day event collapsing the end date
  • Fixed event creation fields incorrectly highlighting as changed when editing recurring events
  • Fixed calendar event bars overlapping when expanded events push spanning events down
  • Fixed the selected day outline rendering behind event bars on macOS
  • Fixed widget event cells not displaying correctly in dark mode
  • Various copy improvements across calendar sync screens

2026.4.24

April 23, 2026

Restore deleted calendars and their events

Two iPhones side by side showing the Wilson Family group chat. On the left, a "deleted calendar" update message for "Mum & Dad" appears in the chat with the calendar name tappable in green. On the right, tapping it shows a confirmation alert asking "Are you sure you want to restore 'Mum & Dad' and all its events?" with a "Restore Calendar & Events" button.
Accidentally deleted a calendar? Tap the name in your group chat to bring it all back.

Accidentally deleted a calendar? No problem. Tap the calendar name in the group chat update message and confirm restore — your calendar and all its events are right back where they were.

Fixes & Improvements

  • Synced calendars list now splits into "This Device" and "Other Devices" so you can see which syncs depend on which device
  • Sync-in-progress indicator shows a spinning icon per row while a sync is running
  • Synced calendars no longer need to be deleted and recreated after reinstalling the app on the same device
  • Fixed recurring events breaking for users with 12-hour time format set on their device when in a 24-hour time format region
