Download Google Calendar for PC, Windows 11/10 & Mac (Free)

You can install Google Calendar as a desktop app on Windows 11, Windows 10 and Mac in about a minute, straight from Chrome or Edge. It opens in its own window, pins to the taskbar or Dock, and shows your events offline once you switch that on.

Prefer a calendar program you already use? Google Calendar also syncs into new Outlook on Windows and into Apple Calendar on a Mac. Google Play and the App Store carry the official apps for Android, iPhone and iPad.

This guide covers which route fits each device, the official Google links, installing on Windows and Mac, syncing with Outlook, offline access, and fixes for Calendar not loading.

Which Google Calendar download do you need?

Match your device to a row. On a computer, the app installs from the browser you already have.

Download Google Calendar from Google’s official sources

Google publishes Calendar at these addresses. Google ships no Calendar setup file for download portals to host.

1. Google Calendar on the web — sign in with a Google Account, then install it as an app
2. Google Calendar on Google Play — Google LLC, 10B+ downloads, updated 10 September 2026
3. Google Calendar on the App Store — 283.5 MB · iPhone and iPad, iOS 17.0 or later
4. Google Calendar product page — features and Google Workspace plans

Check the Google Calendar system requirements

Calendar sets no hardware floor of its own. The browser sets it.

Chrome itself needs Windows 10 or later on Intel, Windows 11 and up on ARM, and macOS 13 Ventura and up.

How to install Google Calendar on Windows 11 and 10 as a desktop app

Chrome turns Calendar into a windowed app with its own taskbar icon and Alt + Tab entry. It opens without tabs or an address bar.

1. Open Chrome and go to calendar.google.com.
2. Sign in with the Google Account that holds your calendars.
3. Select More, the three-dot button at the top right.
4. Select Cast, save, and share, then Install page as app.
5. Follow the on-screen prompt and select Install.
6. Right-click the new window’s taskbar icon and select Pin to taskbar.
7. Open it again from the Start menu and confirm your week loads in its own window.

Install Google Calendar with Microsoft Edge instead of the Store

Edge is already on every Windows 11 PC, and it creates the same kind of app window Chrome does.

1. Open Microsoft Edge and go to calendar.google.com.
2. Sign in to your Google Account.
3. Select Settings and more, the three-dot button at the top right.
4. Select More tools, then Apps, then Install this site as an app.
5. Name the app and select Install.
6. Open edge://apps to find and manage the installed app.

The Microsoft Store has no Calendar package from Google. Its closest match, Calendar App for Google Calendar, lists Talsaniya Neha as the publisher, not Google.

How to see Google Calendar inside Outlook on Windows 11

Windows 11’s old Calendar app no longer syncs. Microsoft ended support for Windows Mail, Calendar and People on 31 December 2024 and points users to new Outlook, which can show your Google calendar next to your other calendars.

1. Open Google Calendar in a browser.
2. Under My calendars, select the three dots next to your calendar, then Settings and sharing.
3. Scroll to Integrate calendar and copy the Secret address in iCal format.
4. Open new Outlook and switch to the calendar.
5. Below the calendar grid on the left, select Add calendar, then Subscribe from web.
6. Paste the address and select Import.

Keep that address private. Google says only you should know it.

Classic Outlook can import an exported .ics file through File > Open & Export > Import/Export. That copy is a static snapshot and does not update, so subscribe instead when you can.

Which Google Calendar download do you need for your Mac?

On a Mac, pick between a Chrome app window and the Apple Calendar app already on the machine.

For Apple Calendar, open it and select Calendar > Preferences > Accounts. Select Add, choose Google, select Continue, and follow the sign-in steps. Use Refresh Calendars to set how often the two sync.

Apple Calendar cannot send Google’s email notifications, create new Google calendars or use Room Scheduler. Do those in the Chrome app.

How to use Google Calendar offline on a PC or Mac

Offline mode stores your schedule in Chrome so it still opens with the network down.

1. Open Google Calendar in Chrome while online.
2. Select Settings at the top right, then Settings again.
3. Under General on the left, select Offline.
4. Tick Turn on offline calendar.
5. Select Reload now to start syncing.
6. Disconnect the network and open Calendar in Chrome to confirm it loads.

Offline, you can view events from the last 4 weeks and any future date, in day, week or month view. You cannot create or edit events, email guests or open tasks until you reconnect.

Should you install the Calendar app or sync it into Outlook?

Install Google Calendar as an app from Chrome or Edge. Sync it into Outlook or Apple Calendar only if you already live in one of those programs. Google ships no standalone .exe or .dmg for Calendar. The browser app is the desktop version, with every Google feature and offline viewing in Chrome. Outlook’s web subscription shows your Google events, but it is a subscribed calendar rather than Google Calendar itself. Apple Calendar gives full two-way sync through your Google account, minus email notifications, new calendar creation and Room Scheduler.

Is Google Calendar free?

Yes. Google Calendar costs nothing with a personal Google Account, on the web, on Google Play and on the App Store. The App Store lists the app as Free, and Google Play offers it at no charge. A personal account can also create one booking page. Google Workspace plans add premium features for businesses, such as unlimited booking pages and payment collection through Stripe. A site charging for a Calendar installer is selling a file Google does not make.

How to update Google Calendar on each device

Calendar on the web has no version number to check. Google updates it on the server, so the browser always loads the current build.

1. On a PC or Mac, keep Chrome or Edge up to date, because Google supports only current browser versions.
2. On Android, open Google Play, select your profile picture, then Manage apps & device, and update Google Calendar.
3. On iPhone or iPad, open the App Store, select your profile picture and update Google Calendar from the list.

The App Store listed version 26.34.0 on 7 September 2026.

How to check a Google Calendar download really came from Google

An .exe or .dmg named Google Calendar did not come from Google. Check any download against these points.

1. Read the address bar before signing in. Calendar runs at calendar.google.com, and sign-in happens at accounts.google.com.
2. On Google Play and the App Store, confirm the publisher reads Google LLC.
3. Right-click any file claiming to be Google Calendar, open Properties, then Digital Signatures, and reject a signer that is not Google.
