FAQ
Getting started
ComingUp Today is a shared scheduling workspace. It shows upcoming events across people and calendars in one clean view, so complex families and caregivers can coordinate without everyone digging through multiple calendars. Small teams can use the same visibility model.
ComingUp Today combines the calendars you choose to make visible into one shared schedule view. That means you can quickly see what's happening today, this week, or this month across people — without texting around or asking, “what do you have planned?”
The schedule revalidates when the app returns to the foreground and after supported in-app change signals. Exact freshness can vary with provider behavior and system load.
Google Calendar is great for managing a single calendar. ComingUp Today is focused on a shared “coming up” view including local events, local contacts, multiple external calendars, with visibility controls and a read-only approach. It's not a replacement — it sits on top of external calendars and adds new features and functionality.
The goal is to keep your source calendars as the source of truth. We sync and display calendar data you authorize. We don't write changes back to external calendars. (You can also create local events inside ComingUp Today that don't appear on your external calendars.)
Visibility depends on your organization/workspace and what calendars are marked as visible. Calendar visibility controls determine which imported calendars appear, while organization access determines who can use the shared workspace.

Authentication is handled by Supabase. Your app data (orgs, people, and local events) is stored in a database to allow for synchronization across devices.
We store event, contact, and account/workspace data and the integration data required to keep things working (for example, connected accounts and visibility settings). When you connect a calendar provider, we sync the calendar data you authorize so we can display your schedule.

Yes — there's a free plan, plus paid plans with monthly or annual billing. Full details are on Pricing.
- Free: $0
- Solo: $4.99/mo or $50/yr
- Team (up to 8): $9.99/mo or $100/yr
- Large team (up to 20): $19.99/mo or $200/yr
You can create an account to start testing now, and self-serve billing changes will open later.
Yes. Notes and Lists are available as lightweight shared household context, not as a general productivity suite.
In supported browsers, you can explicitly opt a device into web push reminders for upcoming events. If a previously reminded event changes materially near its start, a calm, factual correction may replace that reminder. You can turn push off at any time.
You can choose a U.S. ZIP code or city to show local weather on one device. That choice stays in that browser and is not shared with your household; ComingUp Today does not use browser geolocation for Weather.
You can also enable weather for events that have their own usable location. Event Weather does not fall back to the device's selected location, and Weather never changes an event or the schedule. Initial U.S. location support covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, although not every USPS ZIP has a matching supported location. This feature limit does not limit where ComingUp Today can be used.
We're actively building new features based on user feedback. You can always see the latest plan on our Roadmap.
A few highlights we're excited about:
- Neutral responsibilities and day-anchored items, without scoring or enforcement
- Microsoft 365 and Outlook calendar support remains deferred
- Additional read-only calendar providers

Local events (not from external calendars)
Local events are events you create directly inside ComingUp Today. They show up in your shared schedule views, but they don't write back to your connected Google Calendar. They can be recurring, and you can tag members on an event so it's clear who it's for.
Some things are useful for coordination but don't belong on your personal calendar. Local events are great for things like contractors/construction windows, delivery details, locations, who needs to go, phone numbers, and other shared notes you want in the schedule view. They keep your source calendar clean while still helping everyone see who has what going on today.
Contacts (not from external calendars)
Contacts are shared people/business records you can create, edit, and remove. They're designed to keep useful details in one place so your schedule isn't just a title and a time.
You can attach contacts to events so you have context right where you need it: business name, contact name, department/role, address/location, phone number, and email — making it easy to call or follow up without hunting through old threads.
Recipes
A recipe is a structured, shareable record in your kitchen cookbook. It supports household use, public sharing controls, and print-friendly viewing. See Recipes for full details.
Recipes include title, photo, prep/cook/wait/total times, ingredients, markdown instructions, visibility settings, and optional household context fields like who eats it and family notes.
You can choose public or private at the recipe level. Public recipe views (and public cookbook views) never show private household fields like who eats this or family-only notes.
Linked cookbooks connect your kitchen to other trusted cookbooks on ComingUp Today so you can move between them quickly. You can link up to 6 kitchens.
Yes. Public recipes can be shared by link, and each recipe includes a print-friendly view for clean kitchen printing.
Calendar integrations
After signing in, go to Integrations and connect Google. Read the Google Calendar integration details for the current read-only connection flow.
When you connect Google Calendar, Google shows the exact permissions on the consent screen. We request read-only access needed to list your calendars and display authorized events inside ComingUp Today. If you're unsure, don't connect — or connect, test, and then disconnect anytime.
Sign in and go to Integrations and choose which calendars are visible. This lets you keep personal or noisy calendars hidden while still seeing the calendars you care about in the shared schedule views.
We aim to keep your upcoming view reasonably fresh, but exact timing can vary based on provider behavior and system load. If something looks stale, disconnect/reconnect can help, and we're actively improving reliability.
Sign in and go to Integrations and click Disconnect on the connected account. After disconnecting, we stop syncing new data from that account.
- Refresh the page and try again.
- Make sure popups aren't blocked, then try connecting again.
- If you see an OAuth error, it can be a redirect/config issue — contact us and include the full error text.
Sign in, open Integrations, enter the required Apple Account identifier and app-specific password, then select “Connect iCloud”. You can choose shown calendars with the calendar-level visibility editor. See the iCloud Calendar integration details for the supported flow.
iCloud Calendar events are provider-owned and read-only in ComingUp Today; edit them in Apple Calendar or iCloud. This is not a general-purpose CalDAV connector, and iCloud Reminders lists may not appear reliably.
