Add Your iCloud Account to Fantastical

Adding Your iCloud Account

1. Go to Fantastical → Settings → Accounts and add your iCloud account
2. Enter your Apple Account's primary email address (you can check your primary email address at account.apple.com)
3. Generate an app-specific password:
   • Go to account.apple.com
   • Under the Sign-In and Security section, select App-Specific Passwords
   • Click/tap the plus button, then name and create your app-specific password (e.g. "Fantastical")
4. Paste the generated app-specific password into Fantastical's App-Specific Password field

If the iCloud account listed in Fantastical's settings does not match your Apple Account's primary email address, remove the account from Fantastical and re-add it using the primary email address.

Still having trouble?

If Fantastical still says your password is incorrect, try the following:

1. Open Fantastical → Settings → Accounts
2. Remove your iCloud account from Fantastical
3. Quit and relaunch Fantastical
4. Go to account.apple.com
5. Select App-Specific Passwords in the Sign-in and Security section
6. Click/tap Revoke All (you may not see these buttons if you don't have any app-specific passwords)
7. Click/tap the plus button, then name and create your app-specific password (e.g. "Fantastical")
8. Open Fantastical's settings and re-add your iCloud account using your primary Apple Account email address and your app-specific password

Why is Fantastical asking for my iCloud password?

Fantastical uses your iCloud password to ensure that your events and reminders are kept in sync with iCloud. Fantastical only uses your password to connect to iCloud, your password or data is never sent to Flexibits or any other third party.
