Share when you’re busy. Not what you’re doing.

Works with every calendar app

31Google CalendarOOutlookApple CalendarThunderbird

Connect Google, Microsoft, or Apple Calendar once. Recipients subscribe in anything that reads ICS.

How it works

Three steps. No new account for the people you share with.

1
Connect

Connect Google, Microsoft, or Apple Calendar (iCloud via app-specific password) once. Encrypted credential storage, one click to revoke anytime.

2
Configure privacy

Round times, hide weekends, set working hours, pick which calendars count. A live preview shows exactly what subscribers will see.

3
Share link

Copy your webcal:// URL or add-to-calendar buttons. Recipients subscribe in any app — no signup, no login.

Built for every kind of sharing

One link works for client work, teamwork, family life, and community groups.

For freelancers, agencies, and consultants

Show client-ready availability without exposing event titles. Works for recruiters, lawyers, therapists, sales reps — anyone who needs to share when they’re free without sharing what they’re doing.

For small teams

Coordinate with contractors, customers, and partner orgs across Google, Outlook, and Apple. Vendor-neutral availability, no enterprise scheduling suite required.

For families and caregivers

Your partner, parents, or caregiver see only when you’re busy — not what for. Perfect for shared custody, co-parenting, elder care, and non-technical recipients.

For clubs, teams, and volunteers

Publish once, everyone subscribes. No accounts, no friction, no app install. Ideal for sports teams, volunteer groups, and community organisations.

No titles · No locations · No attendees

Privacy by design

  • Nothing sensitive is ever stored in our database. Just anonymised busy blocks.

  • Disconnect Google, Microsoft, or Apple at any time. Your feed auto-pauses and subscribers see a clear status message.

  • GDPR-compliant. Hosted in the EU. Revoke access in one click.

Frequently asked questions

Still have questions? Get in touch.

How is this different from Google’s “public calendar” option?

Google’s public share exposes your full events — titles, locations, attendees. Our availability feeds publish only free/busy status, with optional time rounding and working-hours filtering. Recipients see blocks, never details.

Can I share my calendar with someone who doesn’t have a Google account?

Yes. Your share link (webcal:// or ICS URL) works in any calendar app — Google, Outlook, Apple Calendar, Thunderbird, Fantastical, BusyCal, and more. Recipients don’t need an account with us or with any specific vendor.

What exactly do subscribers see?

Only anonymised blocks titled “Busy” (you can customise the label). No event titles, no descriptions, no locations, no attendees, no links. Just start time, end time, and busy status.

Can I share only during working hours?

Yes. The wizard lets you set working hours per day of the week, hide weekends, and round times to the nearest 15 or 30 minutes. A live preview shows exactly what subscribers will see before you publish.

Does this work with Outlook / Office 365?

Yes. Connect via Microsoft OAuth and select which calendars to include. We call the Microsoft Graph calendarView endpoint with a strict field mask — the same privacy guarantees apply as for Google.

Can I revoke access?

Any time. One click in the dashboard revokes our OAuth tokens. You can also revoke directly from Google or Microsoft account settings. Your feed auto-pauses and subscribers see a clear status message.

Is my calendar data stored?

Only anonymised busy blocks are persisted — start, end, and status. Your original events with titles and details are never fetched and never stored. OAuth refresh tokens are encrypted at rest.

How often does the feed update?

Pick from daily, every 6 hours, hourly, or every 15 minutes depending on your tier. Most business sharing use-cases work great with hourly refresh; family coordination often only needs daily.

Is this a booking page like Calendly?

No. Recipients see availability only — never your name, contact info, or a booking flow. There’s no scheduling page that reveals your identity. Just a private link to a stream of free/busy blocks they subscribe to in their own calendar app.

Is this a family organiser like Cozi?

No. There are no chats, chores, shopping lists, or shared notes. We do one thing: publish your free/busy availability to a private link. Use it alongside your family organiser, not instead of it.

Is this a meeting poll like Doodle or When2Meet?

No. There’s no voting and no back-and-forth. Subscribers see your live availability and coordinate however they want. If you need explicit slot selection from a group, a meeting poll is still the right tool.

Why not just use a shared-calendar app like OurCal or Howbout?

Those apps require everyone — including the people you’re sharing with — to install the app and create an account. They also show actual events, not just free/busy. Our availability feed is vendor-neutral, account-free for recipients, and only ever exposes anonymised busy blocks. One webcal:// link works in any calendar app they already use.
