You can connect your Apple Calendar to Cozyla Calendar so your Apple events appear on your Cozyla device. Apple Calendar setup requires your Apple ID and an Apple app-specific password.
 

Before You Begin

 
Before connecting Apple Calendar, make sure:
 
  • Your Cozyla device is connected to the internet
  • You can sign in to the Apple ID connected to your calendar
  • Your Apple account has completed Apple’s Terms of Service acceptance
  • You can generate an Apple app-specific password
⚠️ A new Apple ID must be logged into an Apple device at least once and must accept Apple’s Terms of Service before syncing can work.
⚠️ Synchronization of Apple Tasks and Reminders is not supported at this time.

Manage Connected Apple Calendars

 
After connecting Apple Calendar, you can remove calendars, reassign calendars, or control which calendars appear on the screen.
 
  1. Tap the arrow next to the member avatar.
  2. Review the connected calendars list.
  3. Tap the ... menu next to a connected calendar.
  4. Choose whether to:
    1. Remove the calendar
    2. Reassign the calendar to another member profile
 

Show or Hide Calendar Events

 
Each connected calendar includes a checkbox.
 
  • Checked = events from that calendar appear on your Cozyla Calendar
  • Unchecked = events from that calendar are hidden
If some events appear to be missing, confirm the correct calendars are still checked.

Important Information About Reassigning Third-Party Calendars

 
Because third-party calendars can only be linked to a single user account, reassigning an event from one member to another will cause the event to sync to the new account (if the new member has a linked calendar selected as the sync target) and be removed from the original linked calendar account.
 
To avoid issues such as events disappearing or syncing unexpectedly:
 
  • We recommend adding a Profile directly to the event instead of reassigning it to another member
  • Alternatively, you can create a dedicated Family Profile specifically for connecting this type of third-party calendar
 

Troubleshooting

 

Apple Calendar Events Are Missing

 
If your events do not appear:
 
  1. Confirm your Cozyla device is connected to the internet
  2. Go to Settings > Calendars
  3. Confirm your Apple account is still connected
  4. Confirm the correct calendars are checked
  5. Confirm the calendar is assigned to the correct member profile
  6. Wait a few minutes for sync to complete

Apple ID or Password Does Not Work

 
Make sure you are using an Apple app-specific password, not your normal Apple ID password.
 
You may need to:
 
  • Generate a new app-specific password
  • Reconnect the Apple Calendar account
  • Confirm Apple Terms of Service have been accepted on an Apple device
