Help & FAQ/Import guides

Export your Google Calendar

Google Calendar exports every calendar you manage as one .zip from its settings, on a computer. PrivacyNotes reads that .zip as it is, no unzipping needed.

Ask your AI agent instead

Export all your calendars at once

The .zip holds every calendar where you have the "Make changes and manage sharing" permission, your own included. Calendars you can only see, such as holidays or a colleague's calendar, are not in it. On a work or school account, your administrator may restrict export.

  1. Open Google Calendar in a browser on a computer. The phone app has no export.
  2. Click the gear at the top right, then "Settings".
  3. In the list on the left, click "Import & export".
  4. In the Export section, click the Export button. Your browser downloads a .zip with one .ics file for each calendar.
  5. Keep the .zip as it is.

Or export one calendar

  1. In the list on the left, under "My calendars", point to the calendar name, click "More" (the three dots), then "Settings and sharing".
  2. Under "Calendar settings", click "Export calendar". Your browser downloads a .zip that holds that calendar's .ics file. Keep it as it is.

What comes along

Every event arrives with its day, its time and how long it lasts, including events over several days. Repeating events keep their rule, and an occurrence you moved or deleted in Google stays moved or deleted. Each calendar becomes a folder.

Reminders you set on an event arrive too, e-mail reminders included: they become app reminders, which need PrivacyNotes Pro to ring. An event that used your calendar's default reminders arrives without one, because Google does not write defaults into the file. The place, the video call link, the guests and the description go into the event's text. Times show as they did on this device when you imported.

A single .ics file from any calendar app works too, Apple Calendar and Outlook included.

Import the same file again later and the events that are already here are skipped, so only new ones are added.

Import into PrivacyNotes

  1. Open PrivacyNotes and go to Settings > Import & Export.
  2. Pick Google Calendar as the source.
  3. Drop in the file you just exported, or click to browse.
  4. Check what the preview says will arrive, then start the import.

Answer my questions about PrivacyNotes using only its help center, its changelog and its security documentation.

Start here: https://privacynotes.app/llms-index.txt
It lists every question with the page that answers it. Fetch the one or two that match mine.
If you can only make one request, fetch https://privacynotes.app/llms-full.txt instead.
If you cannot fetch a .txt or .md file, read https://privacynotes.app/help, https://privacynotes.app/changelog and https://github.com/LifetimeLabsHQ/PrivacyNotes.app instead.

For what changed, or where something moved, fetch https://privacynotes.app/changelog.md.

For how the encryption works, what the server can read, or how to check any of it yourself, fetch https://privacynotes.app/docs/index.md and follow it to one of the documents it lists. That index is a router: cite the document, never the index.

Rules:
- Use only those pages. If they do not answer something, say so instead of guessing.
- Never invent a feature, a menu path, a price, or a limit.
- End your reply with the "Source:" URL from the page you used, exactly as written.
- Answer in the same language as my question.
- Never ask me for my recovery phrase, my PIN, or the contents of a note.

If no question follows, ask me what I would like to know.

My first question:

Never paste your recovery phrase, your PIN, or a note into an AI.
