Cal Talk

One of the things that has always bothered The Sage about iCal is the inability to share your calendars without a .Mac account. Well, Joe over at pknet.com has offered a donationware solution called CalTalk.

Caltalk makes it easy to share, browse, and subscribe to iCal calendars. All you need to do is

  1. Install CalTalk on your computers
  2. Open the app
  3. Check “Share my calendars” and…
  4. Double-click the names of other peoples’ calendars you would like to subscribe to.
    • If the calendar is password protected you will be prompted for a password

You can set the refresh rates via iCal and can choose to omit or include alarms and To-Dos. Since version 1.1 Joe has enabled password protection of calendars.

The Sage finds the functionality invaluable. He uses CalTalk to share calendars with his wife so as to prevent from scheduling conflicting events. You to might find the ability to share iCalendars useful too. If so, you can download CalTalk from Joe’s website
