How ComingUp Today works
Who This Is For
Families & Households
Coordinate activities, appointments, routines, and care handoffs 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 commitments 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 supported Google and iCloud calendars for read-only visibility. Imported events appear alongside events created in ComingUp Today, giving you a clearer picture of what's coming up across selected 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 coordination view—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 structured details for people, organizations, and recurring places, then link that context to events.
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.
Notes & Lists
Keep lightweight household notes and simple shared lists accessible across devices without turning ComingUp Today into a productivity suite.
Household Display and Ambient mode
Keep a household-visible screen focused on Today, Week, and Upcoming context, with optional device-local weather and event weather when a usable event location is available.
Viewing & Coordination
ComingUp Today provides unified views across the external calendars you choose to show and events created in your workspace. People attached to ComingUp Today events provide useful context, while calendar visibility controls keep the schedule focused.
- Today view - See everything happening today across people and calendars
- Week view - Plan ahead with a clear week-at-a-glance
- Month view - Understand the broader schedule at a glance
- People context - See who is attached to events created in your workspace
Recipes Are Live
Recipes is a live part of ComingUp Today: organized, shared, printable, and publicly linkable when you choose to share. Keep private family-only context internal while publishing only the recipes you want others to see.
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.
