Portable iCal is a shell script that can launch a local version of iCal, based on stored application preferences. This software allows users to access iCal on multiple devices without syncing issues.
The setup process of Portable iCal.app involves temporary renaming of the ~/Library/Application Support/iCal and ~/Library/Caches/iCal folders, along with com.apple.iCal.plist, com.apple.iCal.AlarmScheduler.plist, and com.apple.iCal.helper.plist files. Once this is done, a symlink is created to use portable ones.
To create Portable iCal.app from source, you will need two tools: Platypus and CocoaDialog. It is worth a mention that the passwords and data stored within the Keychain are not portable with this software, so proceed with caution.
Overall, Portable iCal.app can be a valuable tool for those who rely on iCal regularly and need their preferences and settings to be preserved while they are away from their primary device. Its portability and ease of use make it an excellent choice for people on the move.
