The problem it solves

You keep personal appointments in Google Calendar and work meetings in Outlook, so coworkers can't see when you're actually busy. Manually re-entering personal events into your work calendar, and remembering to remove them when plans change, is easy to forget.

Who it fits

Anyone who keeps separate personal and work calendars but wants coworkers to see accurate availability.

How it works

  1. A new event created in Google Calendar triggers the system
  2. The event details are copied into your Outlook calendar
  3. If you cancel the event in Google Calendar, the system finds the matching Outlook event
  4. It deletes the matching event and emails you a confirmation of the cancellation
What you get

Calendars that stay in sync automatically

You get your personal calendar events mirrored onto your work calendar so coworkers always see your true availability.

What you get

A synced Outlook calendar that mirrors your personal Google Calendar events, plus a cancellation notice by email.

What you need

A Google account and a Microsoft 365 or Outlook account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
