What's next, where you already look.

seeCal reads your work and personal calendars and puts the meeting on now, or the next one, in the menu bar. Most days you never open a calendar to find out.

  • The current or next meeting in the menu bar, counting down.
  • Work, personal and public calendars on one day, with the same meeting counted once.
  • Join the call, map the place, or send it to your iPhone on the way out.
  • It asks what your calendar can't answer for itself, and remembers.
  • It says how old its answer is, and never pretends otherwise.

The title

The menu bar says what's next.

The title is the product. It names the meeting you're in and how long is left, or the next one and how long until it starts. When the day is done it says what tomorrow opens with, as a time rather than a countdown.

So the panel gets opened on purpose, not to find out.

Questions

It asks. You answer once.

seeCal is not another calendar app. It is where the questions your calendar can't answer for itself get asked: is this all-day event a day off, is this the same meeting twice, is this calendar still connected.

Nothing writes to your calendar directly. An app that wants your time raises a proposal with a reason, and it waits for a yes. Each answer is kept, so there is always an account of what asked for what.

Get to it

Help me get there.

Each meeting carries what it takes to act on it. Join opens the call in its own app, not a browser tab. Map opens the place. Send it to your iPhone on the way out.

And when somewhere needs leaving for, seeCal says when, how far it is, and how you usually go.

Help me with

Ask for the time you need.

Pull down on the day and ask in your own words. Find 45 minutes with someone next week. Clear Friday. Work out when to leave. Keep a morning free.

seeCal answers from your calendars and holds nothing until you say so.

Honest

It says how old its answer is.

Whether you're free decides things, so seeCal never guesses. When it can't see a calendar it says which one, and how old its last answer is. An answer that is confidently wrong is worse than one that admits it is stale.

Mac and iPhone

At your desk, and away from it.

On the Mac it lives in the menu bar. On iPhone it opens on what needs you, then what's next. The same day and the same answers on both.

It reads Google Calendar, Microsoft 365 work calendars and public feeds such as holidays and fixtures.
