Turn a printed list into a shareable calendar

Agenda Hero Team

November 17, 2025

Calendars bring us together. It’s the main reason we use them. They let us know when and where to gather. But despite being in the digital age, many calendars are still made on paper.

When you think about it, people have been making paper calendars for thousands of years, and in mass for hundreds of years. It’s often easier to create a paper calendar manually than a digital one. Why? Most digital calendars require you to fill out a form every time you add something to them. It’s simply too much tedious work.

Agenda Hero Magic converts unstructured information into organized dates, making it actually less work to create than paper calendars.

In today’s Magic video, we share how simple it is to convert a printed list of birthdays into a shareable digital calendar that everyone can reference, making it easy to remember important dates, birthdays, and events.

How it works:

  1. Go to agendahero.com/magic
  2. Add your list of dates. This can be text, image, or PDF.
  3. Agenda Hero Magic will automatically generate each title and detect the dates and times, creating a full set of calendar events for you.
  4. Review and personalize the results.
  5. Share the joy:
    • Add events to your Agenda Hero or other personal calendar, or
    • Create a digital calendar page to share with your community.

Why It Matters

At Agenda Hero, we believe calendars should do more than keep you on task. They should help you stay connected. That’s what makes this trick one of our favorites.

FAQ:
