What is Synara?
Synara is a developer-first calendar invite and event-sync service that replaces messyics files with fast, reliable API-driven scheduling that's built for modern apps. ICS is 25+ years old and parsed differently across providers. Updates get ignored, duplicated, or partially applied. Synara uses ACE, a clean JSON event format, to normalise event data. A single API call handles invites, updates, sync, and ICS fallback, so your app gets predictable behaviour everywhere.
Problem
Users rely on outdated ICS files for calendar invites and event synchronization, which are parsed differently across providers, causing ignored updates, duplicates, and partial application of changes.
Solution
A developer-first API service that replaces ICS files with ACE (a clean JSON event format), enabling a single API call to handle invites, updates, sync, and ICS fallback, ensuring consistent behavior across platforms.
Customers
Developers and engineering teams at tech companies or startups building scheduling, calendar, or event-management features into their applications.
Unique Features
ACE format for normalized event data, ICS fallback compatibility, API-driven synchronization, and handling partial/inconsistent ICS parsing issues.
