How does OpenCal combine work and personal availability?

OpenCal reads the busy times from every calendar you connect and shows the time that is free in all of them on one link. You can connect several Google accounts, personal and work Microsoft accounts, and one iCloud account. In Settings, you choose which calendars count as busy. OpenCal starts from the days and hours you set, then removes busy time and your buffer. Events marked free, canceled events, and declined events do not block time. Tentative events count as busy.

How does OpenCal handle a work calendar when my company blocks outside apps?

OpenCal can add a blocked work calendar through Settings, Other calendars. Read from screen reads the Teams or Outlook desktop app week view. You press it and pick the window each time your week changes, and the screenshot never leaves your browser. The OpenCal Sync extension for Chrome and Edge reads Outlook on the web and syncs every 15 minutes while the browser is open. A private .ics calendar feed address also works.

Does the person I send the link to see my personal events?

The person who receives the link sees only open times. OpenCal never asks Google, Microsoft, or iCloud for event titles, descriptions, locations, or guests.

What does it cost?

OpenCal is free.
