Google Calendar Integration

What You Get

• Unified "Coming Up" view across calendars, filtered by people or groups
• Visibility controls to choose which calendars and people are visible
• Privacy-first, read-only display — we never modify your Google Calendar events
• Multi-calendar support to see events from multiple Google Calendars in one place

How to Connect

Connecting Google Calendar takes just a few minutes and gives you immediate visibility into upcoming events.

• Sign in, then open Integrations
• Click Connect and complete the Google consent screen
• Choose which calendars are shown using the visibility toggles

Google shows the exact permissions requested on the consent screen. We only request read-only access to your calendars.

Read-Only Integration

ComingUp Today is designed as a read-only integration with Google Calendar. This design choice exists because shared calendars often break down once multiple people are editing events, especially in families and small groups. We've written more about why that happens and what actually helps in Why Shared Calendars Break Down for Families. We read your calendar events to display them in a unified view, but we never create, modify, or delete events in your Google Calendar. Your source calendars remain unchanged.

This read-only approach is intentional. ComingUp Today focuses on visibility and coordination, not calendar management. You continue to manage events in Google Calendar (or wherever you prefer), while ComingUp Today shows them alongside events from other people and calendars in your workspace. If you're curious about the broader coordination problems this approach is designed to solve, we explore that idea in more depth in Every Problem Is a Communication Problem.
