8.4.5 Export to iCal

Export to iCal

If you have a Collection in which Notes represent events, you may select one of them, or a range of them, on the List tab, and then select Export to iCal from the contextual menu for one of them. An iCalendar file will be created in the quick-export sub-folder, and named export.ics. Notenik will then ask macOS to open the file using the default app for the file extension, which will generally result in importing the events into your Calendar app.

Note that fields named “Supplier” and “Confirmation” will be placed in the desciption field for the event, preceding whatever text may exist in the Body field.
