Export Calendars Pro Changelog

What's new in Export Calendars Pro 1.14

Mar 21, 2024
  • Added support for extracting labeled values. Assuming your event notes contain the lines “Customer: ACME, Inc.” and “Hourly rate: 60”, you can now export the values “ACME, Inc” and “60” into separate columns.

New in Export Calendars Pro 1.13 (Sep 26, 2023)

  • Added Shortcuts support: You can now perform an export fully automatically via Apple’s Shortcuts app. Export Calendars Pro provides the shortcut “Export Events & Reminders”, which lets you select a predefined search filter and export template. You specify the date range to be exported as input to the shortcut. The shortcut returns the created export file as a file object. The format of the export file as well as the fields to be exported and their format are defined beforehand in the export template to be used.
