I'd push back on the idea that Google Calendar covers most users here. Griply is an Apple-first product (iOS, Vision Pro, Apple Silicon Mac) and a lot of us chose it precisely because it fits that ecosystem. Forcing us into Google or Microsoft for calendar sync breaks that promise and for those of us who actively avoid Google for privacy reasons, it means we simply can't use the calendar feature at all.
Even better: rather than just adding iCloud Calendar as a third silo, consider supporting CalDAV - the open standard that iCloud Calendar, Proton, Nextcloud, and many others already use. One integration would unlock a whole range of privacy-respecting calendar providers, not just Apple's.
And if this lands, two-way sync would be essential. Being able to see existing calendar commitments inside Griply and have Griply tasks show up on my calendar is what makes time-blocking actually work. One-way sync would only solve half the problem.
Right now I'm using Griply without calendar sync, which defeats half the point. Moving this out of backlog would genuinely change how usable the app is day-to-day.

This is huge for a majority of iPhone users. The Apple calendar is hands down the best out there. Please put this near the top of items!

I’ve had griply for a long time, primarily for time blocking, and have set it up a few times. I keep abandoning it though because I heavily rely on apple calendar due to privacy concerns with Google, and managing both Apple Calendar and griply takes considerable time and effort. I’m very excited to start using and recommending the app once this feature is live.

Integration of Griply with iCal would be very useful, since it would eliminate having to have both Griply and the Calendar app open at the same time. Since iCal syncs across all devices, this would make doing scheduling easier to do, and improve schedule visibility on different devices and when sharing calendars.

+1 even if is only as read-only and not a full integration this would be very useful.

There are many of us that are not in the Google ecosystem and with the growing number of people that are De-Googling, there should be some alternatives. Please add iCloud calendar sync.

I do not use Microsoft or Google. I use Apple, Proton and Fastmail. Please provide an option for those of us who are not Google or Microsoft users. This is an obvious flaw in the app.

Being able to time block more effectively with previous commitments already loaded into Griply would be game changing. This would be immensely helpful as iCal already syncs across devices.

I echo the previous comments. The beauty of griply is the seamless workflow made possible by having everything in one place. Without calendar integration, the app’s potential (and power) remains unfulfilled (at least for iCal users).
