Connect Google Calendar from your phone.
The Google Calendar app doesn't show the link fave.rocks needs. Your phone's browser does. It takes about a minute, and you only do it once.
- 1
Open a private browser tab.
Private in Safari, Incognito in Chrome. Search for Google Calendar and sign in. If your phone asks to open the Google Calendar app, tap Cancel. A private tab stops the phone jumping into the app, and the app is the one place this can't be done.

Open settings.
Tap the cog at the top of the calendar, then Settings.
- 3
Tap the calendar you want to connect.
It's in the list on the left, under Settings for my calendars.
- 4
Scroll down and tap Integrate calendar.
It's in the same list, underneath the calendar's name.
- 5
Copy the Secret address in iCal format.
Tap the copy icon next to the dots. You don't need to reveal the address to copy it.

Paste it into fave.rocks.
Go to your dashboard, paste it into Connect calendar, and your gigs publish themselves from then on. You only do this once.
Everything looks tiny. Google gives your phone the full computer version of the page. Pinch to zoom in. If you get a simple view with no cog instead, open your browser's menu and choose Desktop site.
There's no Secret address. Some work and school Google accounts have it switched off by whoever runs the account. Use a personal Google account, or an Apple or Outlook calendar instead.
Keep the address to yourself. Anyone who has it can read that calendar. fave.rocks stores it encrypted and never shows it. A calendar just for gigs keeps everything else private.
