Alfova

School timetables and shift rotas tend to arrive as a PDF or a photo of the noticeboard, and a phone calendar can read neither. Copying them over by hand takes an evening, and one mistyped date sends somebody to the wrong pitch. Alfova reads the file and lists the events it finds, each with title, date, start and end time, location and timezone.

Every entry in that list can be corrected before the export, and the terms ask users to check each date because the AI reading can be incomplete or wrong. The export is a single ICS file, the standard format that Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook and most other calendar apps import. You load that file into the calendar yourself, since Alfova works without access to any calendar account.

Uploads can be PDF, PNG, JPG or WebP files of up to 10 MB, and a PDF may have up to five pages. Guides on the site walk through class timetables and sports fixtures, and the interface comes in ten languages. The privacy policy says page images go to an AI model provider for reading and are not intentionally kept once the conversion is done.
