The IETFers iOS/iPadOS app currently filters all meetings but the main 3 meetings per year. I have been considering adding a switch to enable/disable all meetings which would include all of the scheduled interim meetings. Not sure if this would solve your problem.

I agree that if you log into the IETF site, you could then generate a calendar subscription per user and that user could add/subtract interest in events/wg’s while having a constant subscription URL.

This seems like an enhancement request for the datatracker.
