What is a shared calendar? expand_more

A shared calendar is a digital tool to coordinate schedules in one place. Instead of asking about availability, it syncs personal events so groups can find common free time.

Apps connect directly to existing accounts (like Google or Outlook) to protect privacy while highlighting when the group is free to meet.

  • Eliminates guesswork: See overlapping schedules instantly.
  • Protects privacy: Show free/busy status only.
  • Saves time: Plan events in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions About Group Scheduling

How to find common free time with friends and family? expand_more
The easiest way to find common free time is by using Alkaline. You and your group connect your existing Google or Outlook calendars, and Alkaline automatically overlaps the schedules to highlight exactly when everyone is free. No more text threads asking "when are you free?".
What is the best app for group scheduling? expand_more
Alkaline requires zero manual updates. It reads your existing calendars and instantly functions as a shared calendar for friends and family. Unlike Doodle polls, it requires no active effort whenever your schedule changes.
How is Alkaline different from Google Calendar? expand_more
While Google Calendar is excellent for personal scheduling, Alkaline is a dedicated shared calendar software built specifically to combine multiple ecosystem calendars (like mixing Google and Outlook). It focuses purely on finding mutual availability rather than event management.
Is Alkaline private? Will my friends see the details of my private calendar events? expand_more
Yes, Alkaline is 100% private. By default, your friends and family only see that you are "Busy". They cannot see the title, location, or any specific details of your private events unless you explicitly grant them permission.
Does it work with multiple calendars? expand_more
Absolutely. Alkaline currently syncs seamlessly with multiple Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook calendars at the same time, giving you a complete view of your true free time. Apple Calendar support is on the roadmap.
