CCheckTheCal

Calendars you subscribe to don’t tell you when they change.

iCal is pull-only. When the school moves a fixture or the venue cancels, your calendar finds out whenever it next refreshes — often the next morning. CheckTheCal checks for you and emails you what actually changed.

No card for the free tier. One calendar, checked twice a day.

Paste the feed URL

Any .ics subscription link — school, club, venue, council. We fetch it once immediately, so you can see we found it.

2 · We watch

We check it on a schedule

Every 15 minutes on Pro. We compare what's there now against what was there before — the actual events, not the file.

3 · You hear

One email per change, with the change in it

Added, moved, cancelled — with before and after. Five edits in one sitting is one email, not five. Nothing changed means nothing sent.
