Apple Calendar

Apple Calendar (iCloud) connects natively — no deployment configuration. Apple requires an app-specific password rather than your main Apple ID password, which you generate in a minute.

Connect an account

1. Go to appleid.apple.com and sign in.
2. Under Sign-In and Security, select App-Specific Passwords.
3. Generate a new password and name it something memorable (e.g. “Mitra”).
4. In Mitra, choose Add Integration → Apple Calendar and enter:
   • Apple ID — your iCloud email (e.g. you@icloud.com).
   • App-Specific Password — the password you just generated.
5. Save, then enable the calendars you want from the source picker.

TIP

App-specific passwords are single-use secrets tied to your Apple ID. If you ever need to revoke Mitra’s access, delete the “Mitra” password from your Apple ID’s Sign-In and Security page — your main password and other apps are unaffected.

What syncs — and one important caveat

Your calendar events sync perfectly, two-way.

Reminders are different. Since iOS 13+, upgraded Apple Reminders are siloed by Apple and are no longer accessible over standard CalDAV:

CAUTION

Tasks you create in your Apple integration within Mitra will sync to other Mitra instances, but they will not appear in the native Apple Reminders app. Calendar events, however, sync both ways without issue.

If two-way task sync with Apple Reminders matters to you, that’s a limitation on Apple’s side, not Mitra’s — there’s no CalDAV surface for it to use.

Troubleshooting

• “Invalid password” when connecting. You must use an app-specific password, not your normal Apple ID password. Two-factor authentication also needs to be enabled on your Apple ID to generate one.
• Nothing appears after connecting. Discovered calendars start disabled — open the source picker and enable them.
