How ComingUp Today works
Who This Is For
Families & Households
Coordinate activities, appointments, routines, and shared responsibilities across multiple adults without giving everyone access to a single editable calendar.
Co-Parenting & Shared Care
Give separated parents and other care partners a read-only view of what is coming up without requiring shared editing or constant back-and-forth.
Multi-Caregiver & Complex Family Coordination
Support grandparents, relatives, caregivers, and multi-generational households who all need visibility into handoffs, routines, and overlapping schedules.
Small Teams & Internal Ops
See what's coming up across team members and shared calendars to reduce conflicts and improve planning without expanding edit permissions.
Privacy-Focused Users
Get visibility into schedules without granting others permission to edit or manage your calendars.
Shared Visibility Without Control
ComingUp Today is built on a simple principle: shared visibility without shared control. People can see what matters without editing someone else's calendar. There is no need for full access or shared editing permissions — just a clearer view of what is coming up so coordination gets easier.
That sets ComingUp Today apart from traditional calendar-sharing tools, which often assume shared editing access is the only way to stay aligned.
Two Ways to Use ComingUp Today
ComingUp Today supports two ways to coordinate — and most people use both together. There's no setup decision required: you can start local, connect calendars later, or use both from day one.
Create and manage local events inside ComingUp Today while also connecting external calendars for read-only visibility. Everything appears in one unified view, so you can see personal, family, and work commitments together without merging calendars or giving up control.
Standalone Shared Calendar
Create events and manage contacts directly inside ComingUp Today. Local events are ideal for personal, family, or shared responsibilities that don't belong on an external calendar. All data stays in your workspace — no external calendar required.
Learn about events →Connected External Calendars
Connect Google Calendar (or other calendars) for read-only visibility. External events appear alongside your local events, giving you a complete picture of what's coming up across work, personal, and shared schedules.
Learn about integrations →Core Building Blocks
ComingUp Today is built around a few core concepts. Each works standalone or together to help you coordinate better. Together, these building blocks create a shared source of truth for coordination—whether you use ComingUp Today on its own or alongside external calendars.
Events
Create and manage events inside ComingUp Today for anything from appointments to shared activities. Events can stand alone or appear alongside events from connected external calendars.
Contacts
Store and link real people to events—family members, clients, caregivers, or teammates—so everyone knows who's involved and why something matters.
Recipes
Save recipes used in your household, share them with friends or family or even post them online. Link to other kitchen cookbooks from comingup.today to easily find recipes from extended family and friends.
Shared Tools
Planned shared tools like reminders and notes will allow households and teams to manage more than just schedules, using shared data that stays accessible across devices.

Learn about Recipes →Trust, Privacy, and Data Ownership
Trust and privacy are core to how ComingUp Today is designed. ComingUp Today is designed for shared coordination without compromising personal privacy. Your data stays under your control, and integrations never go beyond what you authorize. You control what's visible, and you can disconnect anytime.
