Working with online calendars is far from easy. They are powerful tools, and because of that can become complicated to manage. Especially, if you want to get more from them than a single bucket of things ahead.

One such a feature is having multiple calendars with your calendar provider. Whether it is Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Apple iCalendar, or others, every single one of them gives you the power to created multiple calendars. And it’s only up to you how to use that to your advantage. But there is a problem, why most of us don’t use this fully. When you want to share your free/busy schedule with someone to set up an appointment, you can share only one of them. To give a full view you would have to send multiple links that someone has to subscribe to. That’s far from convenient, professional experience: “Here are all the links, go through all my 7 calendars and find when I’m free for a call”. And we have a lot of those even if we don’t try. At least private one, work related one, freelance one, or the one we use together with our family.

Most tools that promise to solve this just add to the problem. Copying events between calendars is against the very fundamental reason why we have multiple calendars in the first place. To separate things, not mix them. If we were into having everything together we wouldn’t invest our time in organizing our schedules with multiple calendars in the first place.

Yet, there is a need for a tool that will help us to share our neatly organized life without giving access to all of them. Sharing multiple calendars just to find a free meeting slot is just not feasible.

And that’s where Flatcal has a solution to offer. It will take all the calendars you want to share, consolidate them into one, read-only calendar, and will give you a single, sharable link that have a full overview on your schedule. All of that without changing any of your calendars, letting keep them like you like them, beautifully organized and separated.
