Calfeed vs SmartCalendars
SmartCalendars wants to replace your personal Apple Calendar: voice, photo, OCR, business cards, all feeding your own schedule. Calfeed is the opposite direction: one person builds a schedule and broadcasts it so an audience can subscribe from whatever calendar app they already use. Completely different jobs.

When Calfeed wins
- You publish a schedule for others to follow, not just track your own events
- Audience subscribes from Apple, Google, or Outlook without installing anything
- You have a written schedule (text, spreadsheet, email) to turn into a feed
- You need a shareable link, not a smarter personal calendar
When SmartCalendars wins
- You want to capture your own events faster via voice or photo
- You are replacing Apple Calendar for personal organization
- Multi-modal input (business cards, email snips, OCR) fits your workflow
- Native iOS or macOS app matters more than web access
