Multi-Device Availability with Apple Calendar + SchedulingKit
SchedulingKit reads your Apple Calendar across all devices via iCloud. Block time on your Mac, add a personal event on your iPhone, or accept a meeting on your iPad — every change updates your booking availability in real time.
How It Works
Set up multi-device availability with Apple Calendar in just a few steps.
Connect iCloud to SchedulingKit
Authorize SchedulingKit to read and write to your iCloud calendars.
Select availability calendars
Choose which iCloud calendars should block your booking slots. Include personal, work, and shared calendars.

Clients see updated availability
Your booking page reflects all calendar events across every connected device, preventing double-bookings.
Benefits
Why multi-device availability with Apple Calendar and SchedulingKit makes a difference.
True cross-device sync
An event added on your iPad at a coffee shop blocks the same slot on your booking page within seconds, no manual refresh needed.
Shared calendar support
Shared iCloud calendars with family, partners, or staff contribute to your availability. A shared event blocks your time automatically.
Native app convenience
Use the Apple Calendar app you already know on every device. No new interfaces to learn for day-to-day schedule management.
Conflict-free scheduling
Clients never book a slot that conflicts with any event on any device. Availability is always current, even when you add events offline that sync later.
Multi-Device Availability in Practice
A real-world look at how Apple Calendar multi-device availability works with SchedulingKit.
A real estate agent manages property showings, client consultations, and personal commitments across three Apple devices. Her MacBook at the office runs Apple Calendar with her work schedule showing 12-15 showings per week. Her iPhone handles personal events and ad-hoc client calls. Her iPad sits in her car for reviewing the day's schedule between appointments.
She connects her iCloud account to SchedulingKit and selects three calendars: "Showings," "Personal," and a shared "Family" calendar with her spouse. When her spouse adds a school recital to the Family calendar on Thursday at 6 PM from his own iPhone, the slot disappears from the agent's booking page. A prospective buyer trying to book a 6 PM showing on Thursday sees it as unavailable.
During an open house on Saturday, she blocks 2-4 PM on her iPhone for unexpected paperwork. A buyer who was about to book a 3 PM consultation sees the slot vanish as they browse. The agent never had to open SchedulingKit or think about syncing — it happened through the Calendar app she was already using.
Her assistant, who shares the "Showings" calendar, adds a new property tour on Monday at 10 AM from a separate Mac. That event flows through iCloud to SchedulingKit, blocking the agent's Monday morning on the booking page. The entire team operates from Apple Calendar while SchedulingKit keeps the client-facing schedule accurate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about multi-device availability with Apple Calendar.
Does adding an event on my iPhone update my SchedulingKit availability?
Yes. Any event added to a connected iCloud calendar on any Apple device syncs to SchedulingKit within seconds and blocks that time slot.
Can shared iCloud calendars affect my booking availability?
Yes. Select any shared iCloud calendar as an availability source. Events others add to that calendar will block your bookable time.
What happens if I add an event offline on my iPad?
Apple Calendar queues the event locally. Once your iPad reconnects to the internet, iCloud syncs the event and SchedulingKit updates availability.
Does this work with multiple Apple IDs?
SchedulingKit connects to one iCloud account at a time. However, iCloud Calendar subscriptions and shared calendars from other Apple IDs are visible and can block availability.
