Pull your availability from connected calendars, with a single keystroke, within whichever timezone suits your recipient best. No opening the calendar, no timezone maths, and it handles multiple execs too. It's completely private and sits locally on your machine, connecting only to Outlook and Google.
I spent much of my days in meetings, many of which I have to schedule myself - across timezones. I was tired of pulling up outlook, looking at open slots, trying to convert to my recipients timezone, and then manually typing out which times I was available.
Calendly wasn't a fit for me either, since my clients do not want to feel as though they're having to do the leg work.
So I built this tool for myself really - until realising how useful it might be for others who book their own meetings, but also executive and personal assistants, who book on behalf of their principals.
So here it is... dead simple, solves a very boring problem, and most importantly reduces the 'find my availability' task down to seconds.
Love the local-only approach for a scheduling tool like this. One thing that would make it even better for my workflow is adding a quick way to insert booking links directly into email replies, maybe with a keyboard shortcut that grabs the snippet and drops it into Gmail or Outlook without leaving the message window.
Finally something that nails the timezone problem without making me open another tab. The single keystroke shortcut feels right and it stays local, which is a nice touch.
Finally something that just reads my calendars and figures out the timezone nonsense for me. Loved that it runs locally and doesn't need yet another login.
The fact that it runs locally and only reaches out to Outlook and Google is such a thoughtful choice, feels respectful of privacy without sacrificing convenience.
@james_ketteringham , the time zone juggling is the exact part of scheduling that quietly drives me up the wall, so seeing it handled for me is a real relief.
What happens if one calendar connection fails temporarily? A quick status indicator could help users know which availability data is being used.
One thing that would make this a daily driver for me is a quick way to suggest a specific time slot directly in the email thread, like a one-click preview that drops the proposed slot into my draft without me having to copy paste the time block myself. Would also love it if it could auto-detect when someone references a time in an email and offer to check that against my availability.
Handling time zones automatically is probably the biggest win here. That's one of those repetitive tasks that's easy to get wrong and never feels worth doing manually.
