RRULE
A fictional calendar used to show the guide layout. No personal calendar data is included.

2. Review the calendar

Start with the calendar view to confirm the dates and overall shape of the schedule. Switch to the event list when you want to scan titles, times, and locations more quickly.

Recurring events are expanded into visible dates, so you can review the actual schedule instead of decoding the recurrence rule yourself.

3. Open event details

Select an event to review its original title, description, location, attendees, and written time. CalendarLint keeps the plain-language view first and places raw properties behind See technical details.

4. Check anything unusual

A review label means that something may deserve attention; it does not always mean the file is invalid. Open the explanation before changing a timezone or recurring event.

Worth reviewingThis event may appear one hour early after daylight saving time changes.

What happens to your file

Opening a file in CalendarLint does not add its events to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook. The original file stays untouched. If you later approve a repair, CalendarLint creates a separate file to download.
