Connect Apple Calendar to CalPaper

Apple does not allow third-party apps to use your normal Apple Account password directly. To connect Apple Calendar in CalPaper, you first need to create a secure app-specific password.

Important: The password used here is not your normal Apple ID password. CalPaper should only use the app-specific password created in your Apple account.
