Master your calendar management with Kron.
calendar sprawl (sprôl)
noun
The situation that occurs when you are unable to keep your 37 different ICS calendar feeds organized and shared with family and friends.
Your son's baseball calendar, your daughter's soccer calendar, the school calendar, the camp calendar — the list goes on. A calendar for everything, each with its own ICS feed. Kron was built to solve the problem of calendar sprawl, helping you create and group calendars together to make sharing with family and friends easy. Just add a calendar and a subscription URL, and Kron takes care of the rest, keeping your events up to date so you don't have to.
| Calendar Name | The primary title of your calendar. This is the name visible in Google Calendar and sharing invites. |
| Description | An optional note about the calendar's purpose. Shown to viewers and included in welcome emails when you share the calendar. |
| Timezone | The geographic region used to calculate event times. Important for ensuring imported events appear at the correct hour. |
| Subscribe to External Calendar URLs | A list of public iCal (.ics) URLs. Kron reads these feeds and mirrors their events into your Google Calendar immediately and automatically. |
| Shareable Calendar Link | The raw ICS URL. The Welcome email includes it for other calendar apps, and owners can copy it from Share → Advanced. Google users should use Open in Google Calendar. Apple users should open the subscribe page and choose Subscribe in Apple Calendar. Not for Google Calendar, and not recommended for Skylight. |
| Sharing Roles | • Reader: Can see full event details but not edit them. Use this for a Skylight Family Account for one-way (Kron → display). • Free/Busy Reader: Can only see whether time slots are busy, not event details. • Writer: Can add, edit, and delete events. Use this for a Skylight Family Account when edits on the display should write back. • Owner: Full control, including management of sharing. |
| Share by Email | The default path: send a Welcome email. Recipients click Open in Google Calendar or Subscribe in Apple Calendar. The email also includes a raw ICS link for other calendar apps. Google roles, including a Skylight Family Account as Reader or Writer, are under Advanced. The ICS link is not for Google or Skylight. |
