Connect iCloud Calendar
Your location and type of day can also come from your iCloud calendars – read-only, with an app-specific password.
Updated:
If you use Apple's calendar, Sayweek also reads where you are and what kind of day it is (travel, holiday, conference) from your iCloud calendars – just like from Google Calendar.
Before you start
You need the owner or editor role and an app-specific password for your Apple ID. Your regular Apple ID password won't work here – and don't enter it.
Connect
- Open
account.apple.comand go to Sign-In and Security → App-Specific Passwords → +, and name it “Sayweek”. - Copy the password you get (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx).
- In Sayweek, open Settings → Apple: iCloud and iPhone.
- Under Add iCloud account, fill in Apple ID (email) and App-specific password.
- Click Connect – the confirmation tells you how many calendars it found.
What Sayweek reads
- Read-only: nothing is written to your calendars.
- Event text isn't stored, only the city and the type of day.
- The password is stored encrypted.
The account row shows when it was last read; Sync now refreshes it right away, and the On switch pauses it.
Disconnect
- Open Settings → Apple: iCloud and iPhone.
- In the iCloud account row, click Remove and confirm.
- To close it off for good, also delete the “Sayweek” app-specific password at
account.apple.com.
