Subscribe from Apple Calendar or Outlook
Get your private calendar link, add it to Apple Calendar or Outlook, and know what it shows.
Due Gooder never links to your Apple or Microsoft account. Instead you get one private link that Apple Calendar or Outlook subscribes to, and your calendar app checks it on its own schedule.
If you use Google Calendar, connect it directly instead — that's a different setup and it doesn't need this link.
Get your private link
The link comes from the same Calendar Sync page Google uses, in four steps: Connect, Classes, Options and Subscribe.
Open your dashboard and click Sync to Calendar. If you don't see it, add a class first — the button shows up once you have one.
Under "Where do you want your classes?", click Outlook or Apple. Both cards say "Feed link". Nothing to sign in to.
Under "Pick your classes", every class you're taking starts out selected, with a count at the bottom. Click any you'd rather leave out, then Continue.
Under "How should it look?", keep Meeting times on if you want your class periods in the calendar, and choose All-day or At the due time for assignments. Click Continue.
The last step, "Add it to Outlook" or "Add it to Apple Calendar", plays a short clip of the steps in your calendar app. Click Generate my link. The link appears with a copy button beside it; click it and it says "Link copied".
Treat the link like a password
Anyone who has it can read the schedule inside it, with no sign-in. Keep it off group chats and shared docs. There's no button to reset it yet, so if a link gets out, write to support and we retire it for you.
Add the link to your calendar app
On a Mac:
On iPhone or iPad, go to Settings → Apps → Calendar → Calendar Accounts → Add Account → Other → Add Subscribed Calendar, then paste the link.
What ends up in your calendar
It all arrives as one calendar, named "DueGooder", rather than one per class. Per-class colors can't travel through a subscription link, so every event carries its class emoji in the title to tell your classes apart.
- Your class meetings, when Meeting times is on, from the past 7 days through the next 180 days.
- Your assignments that still need doing and have a date on them, plus your study blocks and other time blocks, from the past 30 days through the next 365 days. Blocks that aren't tied to a class are always in.
- With All-day chosen, an assignment sits at the top of its due date. With At the due time, it shows as a 30-minute block ending when it's due.
What's left out: duedles, assignments with no due date, and archived classes. There are no alarms either — Due Gooder handles reminders itself, so your calendar app won't double up on them. Mark an assignment complete and it drops off the calendar at the next refresh.
The link is read-only. Editing one of these events in Apple Calendar or Outlook doesn't change anything in Due Gooder.
Which classes it carries
The classes you picked when you generated the link are the ones it carries. A class you add later doesn't join on its own, and going through Sync to Calendar again shows you the same link without changing the selection. Turn a class off before generating if you don't want it in.
When it updates
Your calendar app decides how often it checks. The link asks for every hour, which Apple Calendar honors; Outlook keeps its own schedule, usually every few hours. Either way a new assignment won't be there the second you add it. If you want changes to land sooner, Google Calendar is the connection to use.
