Would love your brutally honest feedback.
Thank you!
Looks awesome! Love the simplicity and the “type to schedule” idea — feels super natural. The lifetime deal is smart for early traction. Congrats on launching, and props for building this in just 2 months!
Thank you!
Whoa, Calendar0 nails it: "Siri for your calendar, but it actually works." Voice-activated scheduling without the rage-quits? As an indie hacker juggling 17 tabs and zero patience for clunky apps, this feels like magic. Beta sign-up was a breeze—already blocked out my next launch sprint hands-free. Total time-saver at launch price. If Siri ghosts your events one more time, jump on this. What's your go-to calendar hack?
Thank you for your feedback! Every day I block deep work sessions to avoid interruptions. This helped a lot over time to get things done
Amazing! I love the minimal UX and the focus on the user issues. The natural language scheduling is really cool. Do you expect to add Apple Calendar anytime soon? Would be important for me to use it (: I really love the idea
Thanks so much for your feedback!
Yes, I am planning to add support for Apple Calendar very soon!
This looks super clean and focused. Love how you kept the UX minimal and built something directly around user behavior (‘checking your calendar 30+ times a day’ is so relatable). The Gemini integration for natural language scheduling is a smart move too — feels like a mini Copilot for meetings. Curious: are you planning to expand beyond Google Workspace (like Outlook or Notion integrations) later on
Thank you for your feedback!
Yes I am planning to add M365, Exchange and Apple Calendar support. Besides many other features too!
Love the idea of the founding $19 fee. I'm going to use this as well. I'm curious how you got feedback from the customers on why they chose your product over others?
Thank you!
The most appreciated feature is the check for availability on others calendars too before booking
This is a genius execution. I love how Calendar0: 1) sits in the system tray for instant access,2) turns natural language commands into automated scheduling, and 3) smartly resolves emails with Google Workspace. That lifetime $19 founding member deal is textbook early-adopter strategy—super smart for traction under budget. Founders can apply the same “micro-effort, max-output” logic for any SaaS launch to get early users engaged.
From a CRO and onboarding copy perspective, highlighting the free 3-command trial upfront in the micro-copy and adding a tooltip showing “one-click join” could instantly boost trial-to-paid conversion and retention. These tweaks tie directly into messaging optimization and high-LTV funnels, which is exactly where I help founders hit 999-level conversions.
If you want, I can do a free 2-step messaging & onboarding audit showing how to map your tray UX + AI assistant into copy that drives $100+/user LTV. DM me, and I’ll break it down step-by-step.
Thank you!
