      <title>Kalender-Sync: Closed Beta Launched</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;After weeks of intense development, it's here: &lt;strong&gt;Kalender-Sync&lt;/strong&gt; enters its closed beta phase.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What is Kalender-Sync?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kalender-Sync solves a problem almost everyone knows: you use Outlook for work, Google Calendar privately, and maybe an Apple calendar too — and lose track. Kalender-Sync connects these calendars and keeps them automatically in sync.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What the Beta Offers
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Google Calendar + Microsoft Outlook&lt;/strong&gt;: Bidirectional synchronization via OAuth&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Apple CalDAV&lt;/strong&gt;: Connection via app-specific passwords&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;iCal Feeds&lt;/strong&gt;: Import of read-only calendars (university schedules, holidays, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Delta-Sync&lt;/strong&gt;: Efficient incremental updates instead of full sync&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Encryption&lt;/strong&gt;: All credentials stored encrypted with ChaCha20-Poly1305&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Next Steps
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The beta phase will be used to collect feedback and test stability under real conditions. Also planned:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Extended configuration options (filters, time windows)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Team calendar support&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mobile-optimized web app&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
