Scheduling & booking
Calendar & Google Calendar sync
Month view, two-way sync, and the iCal feed.
The Carve calendar
The Calendar tab is a month view of all your sessions:
- Tap a day to add a session there (opens Book ice with the date prefilled).
- Tap a session to open it.
- Sessions with an unpaid family show red; settled sessions show green.
Two-way Google Calendar sync
Settings → Google Calendar connects your Google account (requires setup — see
SETUP_GOOGLE.md). Once connected:
- Your Carve sessions mirror into your Google Calendar (create/edit/cancel all sync).
- Your Google busy days show as a marker on the Carve calendar, so you spot conflicts.
- Book ice warns live if the time you're typing overlaps a Google busy block — before you create the session.
iCal feed (no Google setup)
A one-way calendar feed (Settings → Booking page → calendar URL) lets you subscribe to your Carve sessions in any calendar app (Apple Calendar, Outlook, whatever) without the Google OAuth setup. It's read-only: sessions appear, but changes flow one way (Carve → your calendar).
Which should I use?
| Want | Use |
|---|---|
| Sessions to appear in another calendar app, zero setup | iCal feed |
| Conflict warnings + edits syncing both ways | Google Calendar sync |
