About the app, it has 2 main features:
- Batch QR code/.ics file event sharing - https://imgur.com/a/eBoTj46 - create events, export them, share them. Share either via QR code (shown in linked video) or as .ics file. Both of these methods should work on all platforms which use Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Apple Calendar, Proton Calendar and fair amount of other popular calendar apps.
- Extract event or batch events from image - https://imgur.com/a/AexGQbw - take a photo / choose from gallery / paste from clipboard, and let ChatGPT extract events for you. You can import them and edit them.
You can combine these two features too - extract events from images and share them using QR code.
QR Code sharing and extracting events from image are paid features, since they can produce some cost at scale. Rest is free for use.
