Install

git clone https://github.com/example/ical-cleaner
cd ical-cleaner
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python cleaner.py --inputs airbnb.ics booking.ics --out combined.ics

What it does

Point it at several .ics files (or URLs), and it produces a single, de-duplicated calendar. Overlaps get flagged instead of silently dropped.

Why I built it

Most short-term rental hosts juggle Airbnb, Booking.com, and a direct calendar. Paid channel managers solve this — and bill monthly for what is essentially HTTP + parsing.

Status

Working prototype. The merge logic is solid; the CLI flags could be cleaner. Issues and PRs welcome once the public repo is up.
