How to Integrate Apple iCalendar with Supernote Calendar for a Streamlined Workflow
The Supernote Calendar is a powerful tool for planning and organization, but it becomes even more effective when integrated with Apple iCalendar. By linking the two, you can ensure your events, appointments, and even notes sync seamlessly between devices. One of the best ways to manage this integration while keeping your Supernote clutter-free is to create a dedicated email address for calendar syncing.
This guide will walk you through the process step by step.

Step 1: Create a New Email Address
To keep your Supernote Calendar organized and prevent unnecessary clutter, it’s best to create a separate email account specifically for calendar syncing. You can use a free provider such as Gmail, or Yahoo, for this example I am using Gmail.
How to create a Gmail account:
1. Go to Google Account Sign Up.
2. Fill in your details and create a strong password.
3. Follow the prompts to verify your identity.
4. Once your account is created, sign in and go to Google Calendar.
If you prefer another email provider, the process is similar—just follow their account creation steps.
Step 2: Add the New Email Address to iCalendar
Once you’ve created the new email address, the next step is to add it to Apple iCalendar so it can receive and sync events.
How to Add an Email to iCalendar on iPhone or iPad:
1. Open Settings on your Apple device.
2. Scroll down and tap Calendar > Accounts > Add Account.
3. Choose your email provider (Google, Outlook, etc.).
4. Sign in with your newly created email address.
5. Ensure Calendars is toggled ON during setup.
