iCalendar Viewer
Open and read the contents of an iCalendar (.ics) file.
Reading a calendar file
The iCalendar format, with the .ics extension, is the standard way calendar events are shared between apps — an invite you receive, a schedule you download, a subscription feed. This opens an .ics file and shows its events in a readable form, so you can see what it contains without importing it into your calendar.
Open an .ics file to view its events.
Why viewing before importing helps
An .ics file is really a structured text format that calendar apps understand, carrying event details like titles, times, locations and descriptions, but it is not meant to be read raw. Being able to view its contents plainly is useful in a few situations: checking exactly what an invite or a downloaded calendar contains before adding it to your own, inspecting a file that will not import cleanly to diagnose the problem, or simply reading the details of an event without cluttering your calendar. Because the format is a standard, the same file works across the many calendar applications, which is the whole point of it. Viewing it directly gives you a look inside before you commit it to your schedule, and it all happens in your browser, so the file stays on your device.
