Getting started
ComingUp Today brings calendars, lists, notes, contacts, and recipes together for individuals and households. Start on your own or invite household members within your plan limits. Use ComingUp directly or through a supported, authorized AI assistant.
Today, Week, and Month show the calendars you choose to make visible alongside events created in ComingUp. The view refreshes when you return to the app and after supported changes. Updates from connected calendars can take time; timing depends on the provider and system load.
Some repeating events created in ComingUp may not show all repeats more than 14 days ahead. See why some recurring events do not appear farther ahead before treating an empty future date as free time.
ComingUp brings connected calendars and events created in ComingUp into one view, alongside lists, notes, contacts, and recipes. Keep editing Google and iCloud events in their original calendar apps. You can change information saved in ComingUp where your permissions allow.
Connected external calendars stay read-only: edit their events in the source calendar app. ComingUp Today does not write changes back to them. With the appropriate permissions, you can create and edit events, lists, notes, contacts and recipes in ComingUp. Those changes do not update your external calendars, including when made through an AI assistant.
Your organization membership and permissions control access to shared information. Calendar visibility settings control which connected calendars appear in the shared view. Separate ComingUp organizations remain separate; joining one does not grant access to another. For details, see the Privacy Policy.
Use the “Forgot password?” link on the sign-in page to request a reset email. Open the email link to set a new password.
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.
Details are in our Privacy Policy.
There is a free plan and paid plans. See Pricing for current prices, billing options, features, and limits. After signing in, your organization's Owner can manage a paid subscription in Billing.
Yes. Keep shopping lists, to-dos and useful notes together with your household’s plans.
You can turn on event reminders in a supported browser on each device. If an event changes shortly before it starts, an updated reminder may replace the earlier one. You can turn reminders off at any time.
If reminders are enabled but aren't arriving, sign in on the affected device and open My settings → Browser notifications (Reminders). Check that reminders aren't paused and that your browser allows notifications. Then try turning “Enable reminder notifications on this device” off, waiting for the change to finish, and turning it back on. This can restore a stale notification connection. Do this in the browser or installed app where you want reminders; enabling one device does not enable your others.
For the rest of the checks and what to do if that doesn't help, see help with missing reminders.
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. Forecast coverage and time horizons vary; weather may be partial or unavailable. This does not affect the schedule or 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.
These ideas are being explored, not promised for a release:
- Neutral responsibilities and day-anchored items, without scoring or enforcement
- Microsoft 365 and Outlook calendar support remains deferred
- Additional read-only calendar providers
Email support@comingup.today from the address associated with your ComingUp account and ask us to delete it. We will verify the request. Verified requests are generally completed within 30 days; a sole household owner may first need to transfer ownership to another member who accepts it. Before requesting deletion, disconnect connected provider accounts through ComingUp and remove ComingUp from any connected AI platform you no longer want to authorize.
First disconnect the calendar account through ComingUp. This removes stored credentials and locally stored provider-derived information for that connection. Google revocation is attempted where supported. For iCloud, you may also need to revoke the app-specific password through your Apple Account controls. Source calendar records remain with their provider.
Support: support@comingup.today. You can also ask a connected AI assistant to submit a bug report or feature request. See Getting help and sharing ideas for details.
Please also review our Terms and Privacy Policy.
Yes. Household Display works in a compatible browser on a screen you choose, with a signed-in member and network connectivity. Its interactive view centers on Today; Ambient mode rotates through enabled content that is available to your organization and plan. ComingUp does not sell dedicated display hardware. See Household Display and Ambient mode for setup, timezone, and device limitations.
Ordinary Today, Week, and Month calendar views use your device’s timezone. Household Display and AI schedule answers use your organization’s household timezone setting. If dates or times seem different across these views, check both settings. See calendar view details.
Yes. Managed Ambient Photos can appear in Ambient mode when enabled and available for your organization. Photos are private to your organization and use plan-based limits; they do not require an external photo account. ComingUp is not a photo-library backup service. See Household Display details and current plan limits.
Local events (not from external calendars)
Events you add directly to ComingUp Today are separate from events in connected calendars. They appear in your shared schedule views without writing back to connected Google or iCloud calendars. They can repeat daily, weekly, or monthly, and you can link people and contacts to show who or what an event involves. Linking a person or contact does not grant account access.
Repeating events you create in ComingUp may only show the next 14 days. More dates appear automatically each day. Later repeats may not yet appear in your calendar or an assistant’s schedule answers.
Your repeating schedule remains saved. As the window moves forward, upcoming dates are added automatically according to the event’s repeat settings, end date, and any changes or cancellations. You do not need to recreate the event.
This is not a blanket limit on all future events. Other events, including one-off events and events from connected calendars, may be visible farther ahead. An empty date more than 14 days away is not proof that you have no plans.
If an expected recurring event is missing within the next 14 days, check its repeat settings, start and end dates, timezone, and any changed or cancelled dates. In Month view, look for an additional-events indicator and open the date in the day view. Refresh the view. If it is still missing, contact support@comingup.today rather than recreating the event or assuming the missing date is normal.
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 store useful details about people and businesses in your organization. You can add or change them where your permissions allow. Adding a contact does not invite that person, create an account for them, or grant access to your organization.
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
Keep ingredients and instructions together in your cookbook. Save recipes for your household, choose recipes to share publicly, or print them. See Recipes for full details.
Saving and managing recipes requires a plan that includes recipes. Check current plans and features before getting started.
Save a recipe’s name, photo, ingredients, instructions and preparation times. Add private family notes, such as who enjoys it, and choose whether to share the recipe.
Recipes can stay private to your organization or be deliberately made public. Public recipes can be viewed by people outside your organization. Private household fields, such as who eats a recipe and family-only notes, are excluded from public views.
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.
Update timing varies with the calendar provider and system load. If events look out of date, check your connection in Integrations. If the problem continues, contact support@comingup.today.
Sign in and go to Integrations and click Disconnect on the connected account. After disconnecting, we stop syncing new data, remove the stored connection credentials and locally stored provider-derived information, and attempt Google revocation where supported. You can also remove ComingUp through your Google Account controls.
- Refresh the page and try again.
- Make sure popups aren't blocked, then try connecting again.
- If you see a sign-in or connection error, contact support with the error message. Do not send passwords or access codes.
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. Only calendars in the connected iCloud account are eligible; local-only Apple calendars do not appear automatically. This is not a general-purpose CalDAV connector, and iCloud Reminders lists are not supported.
Getting help and sharing ideas
Yes. With a working ComingUp connection and permission to submit support reports, ask your assistant to help describe the problem or idea, then tell it to submit the report. For example: “Help me report that my list is not updating” or “Submit a feature request for a new display option.” Reports go privately to ComingUp. The assistant should submit only when you ask or agree, and a report is not a promise of a fix or new feature.
Yes. Allow your connected assistant to read your support reports, then ask for the status or any replies. It can show your own reports and responses shared with you. If your connection does not have support access, you may need to reconnect and approve it. If the connection itself is broken, email support@comingup.today instead.
AI assistants
AI integration is optional. You can use ComingUp directly without connecting an assistant. See AI integrations for supported connections.
In a compatible assistant, add the ComingUp Today connection and complete the ComingUp authorization flow. If the connection expires or stops working, reconnect through that assistant and review the requested permissions. For help, email support@comingup.today.
After you connect and choose what to allow, an assistant can answer questions about your schedule, add or update events in ComingUp, save contacts, create and update lists and notes, and save private recipes. It can also look up ComingUp guides and help submit a bug report or feature request when you allow support access. Available actions depend on your connection, permissions, and plan. Google and iCloud events must still be edited in their original calendar apps.
Yes. Ask your assistant to suggest a recipe, adjust it together, then ask it to save the recipe privately in ComingUp. The assistant helps create the recipe; ComingUp saves its ingredients and instructions in your household cookbook. You need a plan that includes recipes and must allow the assistant to save them. This does not publish the recipe.
Yes. A supported assistant can look up ComingUp’s published guides and answer questions about features, setup, and common problems. Try “What can ComingUp help our household with?” or “How do I connect iCloud?” Using these tools through a connected assistant requires the ComingUp authorization flow, but looking up public guides does not require permission to read your private household data.
Remove or disconnect ComingUp through the connected AI platform's app or connector controls. After revocation, that platform can no longer use the revoked access. Its own terms and privacy policies continue to govern information it already received.
