Start with your own plans and useful details, then add the parts of ComingUp that fit your day. Inviting household members and connecting calendars are optional, within your plan limits.
Your shared schedule
Add the people you coordinate around, create a ComingUp event, then see it in your shared schedule. Connect calendars you already use whenever you want additional, read-only visibility.
Follow the recommended order, or skip ahead. You can return to these steps at any time.
Create your account and start with your own plans, lists, notes, contacts, or recipes, within your plan limits. You do not need to invite anyone or connect a calendar to begin.
If useful, invite household members within your plan limits or add people you want to tag on events even if they do not sign in themselves.
ComingUp is useful on your own. Invited members use the same household workspace; personal use does not create separate private areas for each member.
Add external contacts you coordinate with regularly, like businesses, service providers, or locations. This gives your events reusable context without rewriting the same details every time.
Contacts let you tag external people or organizations on an event so schedules stay meaningful at a glance and event details do not get lost or repeated.
Start with one or two appointments or everyday plans. Tag people and contacts when they add useful context.
Optionally connect Google Calendar or iCloud Calendar within your plan limits. Imported events stay read-only; edit them in their source calendar app.
You do not need this step to start using ComingUp Today. It is there when you want your existing Google or iCloud calendars to appear in the shared view.
Check which calendars are shown, then look through the Today, Week, and Month views to see how your events appear in the shared schedule.
When invited members sign in, they will see the same shared events and schedule information on the calendar.
Make it yours
Once your shared schedule is useful, choose the other parts that fit your household. None of these are required.
Connect a compatible AI assistant and use everyday requests to check plans or work with ComingUp events, lists, notes, contacts, and recipes, within the access you allow.
“What’s going on this weekend?”
“Add milk to the grocery list.”
“Save this recipe to ComingUp.”
Available actions depend on your plan and permissions. Connected provider calendar events stay read-only.
Explore AI assistants →Keep Today available on a kitchen display, tablet, spare monitor, or another browser-capable screen. When the screen is idle, Ambient mode rotates through enabled views with available content: Today, Week, Upcoming, Lists, Notes, Recipes, and Photos.
Add selected family photos to appear in Ambient mode, bringing a little of your household into the shared display.
Not everything belongs on a calendar. Keep useful household information close to the schedule.
