John Rampton
@rrhoover You rock man! I have to say, when I signed up for PH back in the day. You reached out directly to me for feedback. As a user, it meant so much to me and kept me engaged with this community since then. Can't thank you enough for everything you've built. #Kudos I sincerely appreciate any help you can do to push our mission forward!

Hey Product Hunt, Over the past 10 years, our lives have become more complex. Everyone is busy, and some of us even carry our time-crunched schedules like badges of honor. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says the average person works 8.8 hours a day. We are seeing even more. People are moving faster than ever before – which means we’re not slowing down enough to determine whether the way we’re spending our time reflects our core values. Introducing, Calendar.com. The more you use Calendar, the more valuable it becomes. By using artificial intelligence and machine learning, we have developed a unique experience tailored to you. Steps to sign-up 1. Sign up at https://www.calendar.com 2. Create a team and add the team members 3. Upgrade to pro Here are some of the core features our users are raving about: Find a Time Calendar gives you the ability to quickly and seamlessly find available time slots across a team or group of people. Invite your team and tag everyone you want for the meeting. It then crawls and automatically identifies open spots across your entire team’s calendars and suggests a time that works for everyone. No more 15 email exchanges just to find a lunch time that works for a few people. Smart Scheduling Time Slots You can customize the types of time slots you offer for different events. Best of all, you can provide links to enable people to easily schedule you for times when you’re available – and only them. Unified Calendar Calendar offers a central location to pull all of your important calendars in one place, giving you a one-stop shop to see personal and professional calendars. It also has the added security that your personal calendar can’t be viewed by anybody else and only shows your time as “busy” during times that are important, like your daughter’s recital or more sensitive doctors appointments. Analytics It’s time for brutal honesty: Not everything you do deserves your time. Calendar gives you the ability to see who you’re meeting with and how often, analyzing where your time is going. This empowers you to be self-aware about how you’re spending your time so you can prioritize what really matters. Anyway, hope you like it and let us know if you have suggestions or ideas. Please email (john@calendar.com) or write comments below; our team will try to answer all your questions. Please keep it positive and constructive. We have an amazing team of developers that have a passion to make this tool better and better over time! ENJOY.

@calendar @johnrampton @johnhall Congrats on the rollout, guys. Looks super promising. I'm especially intrigued by the analytics features!
John Hall
Thanks @jonathan_keyser Appreciate the support
John Hall
@calendar @johnrampton @osbennn A lot to come with analytics :) Should be an exciting year as more of those updates come out!

calendar.com must've been one pricey domain name to acquire! Good luck!
John Hall
@jasper_v_d_meer Thank you for the kind words! We will do our best.
Olga Petrik
Congrats on the release! could you please briefly explain the difference between Calendar and Google Calendar?
John Rampton
@olga_petrik Great question. Calendar sits on top of Google Calendar and syncs multiple Google Calendars and allows you to get analytics on your day. It also allows you to sync other calendar platforms like Microsoft.

cool, until I saw the prize per user for team usage...
John Hall
@golangch Would love some more background behind the team usage. Any constructive feedback is helpful :)

@johnhall I work in a company with about 80 people. So small/mid size business. Mostly all of them would need access, so 80*6=480 USD per month to handle calendar use case. That's difficult to sell to a boss.
John Rampton
@johnhall @golangch Thanks for the feedback. I would look at the pricing page and click contact us. For teams over 200 we typically get on the phone and talk through things with them, but if you have 80 people just contact us and we can set up something to chat through it. Especially since you are being nice enough to comment on this. Appreciate people like you supporting new products on product hunt.
Vaibhav Namburi
That would have been one intense domain to acquire! All the best
John Hall
@veebuv Would love to take credit for it, but that was the other co-founder (Rampton) who made that happen. He's a magnet for opportunities because he has a very helpful mentality of looking out for others.

I've been using this product for a bit now and it has absolutely changed the game for me. My time management for my team and I has been so much more efficient. The Find a Time feature is simply unmatched. Really a big fan.
John Rampton
@joedtrick Glad you like Find a Time. Helps teams easily find a time for meeting. No matter the time zone, no matter how many calendars, no matter how productive or non-productive you are.
John Hall
@joedtrick that's awesome that you like that feature. Took a while for the development team to work that out :) I'm glad it's here!

Calendar.com has literally changed my trajectory in terms of productivity in the workplace!! This product has all of the tools and resources to make my and my team more effective workers, especially as the B2B workforce goes more remote. Here's some of the ways they help me (just to name a few): 1. I can create link-based scheduling links in about 2 minutes or less that allow others to schedule a time on calendar, without any back-and-forth communication. As a marketer, this is huge for me. I put one of my link-based scheduling links on every demo CTA on our website and instead of having leads fill out a useless form, they can instantly schedule a time directly with a sales rep. 2. I have full visibility of all of my calendars in one spot. I have Google Calendar accounts and an Outlook account that I use for both work and personal life. Calendar integrates all of those views into one place. This means I don't have to bounce back and forth between multiple calendars, it's all in one spot. Not to mention I can create, change or delete any events on any of my individuals calendars directly from the Calendar interface. 3. Find a Time makes scheduling a time with my team easier than ever. When it came time to finding effective times to meet as a team or to do one-on-one's, I dreaded having to dig through someone else's calendar. I don't care who you use, but Outlook and Google don't have effective solutions for this. With Calendar, all I do is type in my teammates name or email, and it pulls everyone availability onto ONE PAGE. On top of that, it highlights open time, so with one click, I can schedule a time with my entire team. THIS IS SAVES ME SO MUCH TIME, and most importantly makes me excited to meet again. 4. The Analytics give me a clear view of my bad time spending habits. Everyone gets a bad case of the "meeting madness" every now and again. Calendar will help you recognize those bad habits so you can stop them immediately. All around, if you want your productivity to be top-tier, use Calendar. I can't stress enough how much this has changed everything for me and my team. It's seriously a no-brainer!!!

As part of my role as a Communications Manager at Crowe Global, I have to regularly schedule meetings with regional executives around the world to discuss comms planning, including content and messaging for their regional audiences. Now that I use Calendar to schedule those meetings, it takes a fraction of the time because I can see across all calendars and automatically select the best time across time zones that works for everyone. Plus, Calendar has enabled me to bring my iCal, Google Calendar, and work Outlook Calendar into one dashboard view so I can track all my meetings, appointments, and events from either my laptop or my Calendar phone app.
John Hall
@nina_fleischer Thank you for the feedback. Glad it's a helpful tool for you!

@johnrampton, I have used Calendar for over a year now and I love it! It's so easy to use and lets me book with anyone using their email. It has automatic address finding software so when you book with someone at a certain address, it find it the same way Google Maps would. It makes the data input easier and is so convenient. Besides being able to conveniently book with others, Calendar also gives you the option to record your meeting transcriptions so you can listen to your meeting later. However, I think one of my favorite features is that Calendar allows you to view your analytics so you can see how you're using your time. By using the events on your calendar, it uses AI software to put together infographics on how you're spending your time. This is great because I can see how where I need to improve or where I'm spending too much time. Calendar also is able to sync to your Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, or even your Apple Calendar. Overall, I would definitely recommend using the Calendar tool for your everyday needs.
John Hall
@kirstie_sands Thanks Kirstie. Appreciate all the kind words!

@shep_hyken Appreciate your support!
Erick Mokaya
Excellent product. Love it
John Hall
@erick_mokaya thank you!
Erick Mokaya
@johnhall One question. One of the edges, for me, that Google Calendar has is that it has a widget I can put on my Android Phone to just view the events ahead. Are you likely to come up with something like that soon?
Dan Fowler
Looking forward to presenting this product to our real estate team!
John Hall
@dan_fowler Thanks for the comment! Real estate is one of the areas that gets a lot of benefit from the tool.
Kenny Scheer

John Rampton
@kenny_scheer Glad you like it, I'm seeing the person with the most calendars is over 60 connected calendars. Can you beat them?!!!!
