Making a convenient calendar for iPhone

Task

Make a convenient calendar on my favorite apple phone. To do this, the following conditions must be met:

1. a copy of the event must be kept on the web server;
2. SMS notifications about upcoming events;
3. ability to add events by voice;
4. manage events from anywhere (calendar app for iPhone, web, desktop PC app);
5. comprehensive automatic synchronization of events without wires.

Not our method

We pay $ 99 a year for using MobileMe . In addition to the tasks set by me (except for one, guess what) we get 20Gb of disk space for mail, contacts, pictures and other things. The thing, of course, is good, but for my plans it is redundant and, especially, paid. Therefore, we will go the other way.

Our method

As you probably already guessed, the core of our sandwich will be Google Calendar . We create an account, add the necessary events, in “Settings” we connect notifications by mobile phone and voila: we have already solved our first two tasks.

Moving on. We fasten to our GUGOL CALENDAR the possibility of adding events by voice. And helps us in this wonderful service VseLiDell .

Fourth point. To execute it, we need to teach the desktop application to synchronize with Google Calendar. In our case, MS Outlook will be the desktop application. This is done quite simply .

As you have already noticed, all of the above are just references to techniques already known to the community. Now let's move on to the raisin itself: let's make a bridge between the iPhone and Google Calendar. This opportunity gives us a wonderful programm which works exclusively with jailbreake devices. It is called NemusSync , you can find it through your favorite Installer or Cydia in the System category (repository "BigBoss's Apps and Things"). Install. We check the compliance of time zones. In the program settings we add your google account, try to synchronize manually.

Happened? Now let's automate this process. Download this .plist , edit the following lines:

<key>StartInterval</key>
<integer>300</integer>

Instead of 300, we set the update interval you need in seconds. Save and upload the file to your phone in the directory ~ / Library / LaunchDaemons /. Reboot the device.

Everything, convenient calendar for iPhone is ready. Now we can add events to our phone with a simple call to the AllLiDad service. I think this is beauty.
