iOS Calendar Extractor

This is a simple tool that helps you restore your calendar items from an iOS calendar database.

How To Use

This is a Python-based command-line tool. The following prerequisites are required:

• Python (3.7 or higher recommended)

To run:

1. Get your calendar.sqlitedb database file.
   If you don't have the calendar.sqlitedb file but only the backup of your iOS device, you will need to extract the calendar from your backup using a tool like iTunes Backup Explorer.
2. Download sqlitedb-to-ics.py and place it in the folder where your calendar.sqlitedb is.
3. Open a command line or terminal window in the folder with your calendar database and the downloaded python file.
   • For Windows, press Win + R and type "cmd" in the Run box and press enter.
   • For Linux, press Ctrl + Alt + T.
4. Type python sqlitedb-to-ics.py and hit enter.
5. You will be prompted with all the calendars in the database that contain calendar items. Enter the number of the calendar you wish to export and press enter.
   If you enter 0, you can export all your calendars at once into one file or separate files.
6. Your calendar items will be exported and saved as <name_of_selected_calendar>.ics in the same folder as the database and python file.
