MessToCal
Turn messy chat invitations into calendar events in seconds
Paste any messy Messenger text, SMS, or Facebook invite: dates, times, locations, and notes are automatically structured and ready to add to Google Calendar, Outlook, Yahoo, or Apple Calendar (.ics).
Hi everyone! 👋
How often do you get a group message on Messenger, WhatsApp, or Facebook with a vague date, an address buried in a long paragraph, and a potluck request? Manually copying every detail into your calendar is tedious—and that's usually how plans get forgotten.
That's why I built MessToCal.
Key features:
Automatic Smart Parsing: Instantly extracts titles, hosts, dates, times, locations, themes, and dietary notes from raw text, voice dictation, or screenshots.
1-Click Sync: Generates direct links for Google Calendar, Outlook, and Yahoo, plus .ics files for Apple Calendar.
100% Client-Side & Private: Everything runs entirely inside your browser. No personal messages or event data ever leave your device.
Helpful Guest Utilities: Built-in potluck organizer, portion/drink calculator, live directions via Waze/Google Maps, and a simplified high-contrast view.
The tool is completely free, open source, and lightweight. I’d love to hear your feedback, thoughts, or feature requests!
