About Text2Cal
Text2Cal is a mobile app that extracts event details from whatever you give it. You can share text from another app such as WhatsApp, take a photo of a poster or scan a business card, or type a description, and the AI fills in an event for your calendar. The page says it needs no setup or integration work.
Google, Apple and Outlook calendars are the supported destinations. The free tier allows five event extractions per month with basic calendar sync and email support. Paid tiers lift the limit and add extra AI features, faster support, syncing to more than one calendar and custom reminders. Pro costs $3.99 a month, Deluxe $29.99 a year and Lifetime $59.99 once, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
