How to Set Up Calendars in Timepage - Complete Integration Guide
How do calendars work in Timepage?
Let’s break it down.
- You have a Bonobo account which stores things like your subscription, preferences, Actions and Flow documents.
- Your calendar events are stored in your Calendar Accounts. These are services like iCloud, Google, Microsoft Exchange, Outlook that you have connected to your Apple device.
- Each Calendar Account can contain multiple Calendars. For example, you might add your iCloud Calendar Account, which has a Home and Family calendar, each with its own events. In addition, you may add a Google Calendar Account which has its own calendars.
- Event syncing is automatic. When you edit an event in Timepage, it syncs changes across any device connected to your Calendar Accounts. When you edit an event in a separate app, Timepage will sync the updates. Usually this is very fast but sometimes it can take a moment.
- Each device needs to have the same Calendar Accounts Setup. If you want to use Timepage across multiple devices (iPhone, iPad, and Mac), each one needs to have the same Calendar Accounts set up.
- Timepage requires permission to access your calendars. Without permission granted, it can’t display your events.
In a nutshell:
- Timepage does not store your events in your Bonobo account, they are stored via your Calendar Accounts
- Actions and Flow documents do get stored via your Bonobo account
How to show a calendar account on iPhone, iPad
Here’s how to make sure Timepage has all the events you want to see:
- On your iPhone or iPad, go to the Settings App > Apps > Calendar.
- Tap Accounts > Add Account.
- Do one of the following:
- Choose a service: Tap a service—for example, iCloud or Microsoft Exchange—then enter your account information.
- Add a calendar account: Tap Other, tap Add CalDAV Account, then enter your server and account information.
- Subscribe to iCal (.ics) calendars: Tap Other, tap Add Subscribed Calendar, then enter the URL of the .ics file to subscribe to; or import an .ics file from Mail.
Hot tip: If your account is already in this list check to see if your Calendars are turned off. To turn them back on:
- Tap on the account
- Switch Calendars On
How to set up Timepage Calendars on Apple Watch
Apple Watch will show anything you have set up for your iPhone, so you do not need to do any separate setup.

How to show which calendars are visible
Once your Calendar Accounts are set up on each of your devices, Timepage will be able to see the list of calendars for each account.
On iPhone and iPad
- In Timepage go to the Menu
- Tap Calendars > Setup Calendars
- Tap a Calendar name to show (tick) or hide (untick)
- Only Calendars that are visible will show their events
On Mac
- In Timepage, go to Settings > Calendars
- Tap the checkbox on each calendar you wish to show
Choose a Default Calendar
Tap the Default Calendar to choose a different one from the list. You can only choose from visible calendars. When you create a new event in Timepage, it will save it to this calendar unless you change it.

Filtering out birthday calendar duplicates
You can tell Timepage what your birthday calendars are called so it can automatically hide duplicates, so your day isn’t cluttered with several reminders of the same person’s birthday. Go to Timepage > Menu > Calendars > Birthday Calendars then tap the default word “Birthdays” to change it. For example, your birthday calendar may be called ‘Bdays’ instead.
