Use cases for ComingUp Today
Built for people who need a shared "what's next?" view across calendars—without editing anyone's calendar.
When schedules become complex, clarity reduces daily friction and uncertainty — that's at the heart of what we built ComingUp Today to solve.
Complex households & non-traditional families
One shared view across people, calendars, and routines. When you have multiple children, overlapping schedules, and multiple adults managing different parts of life, cognitive overload is the real problem. See everything without logging into multiple accounts or asking "what's happening today?" constantly. Many families also use it to keep household recipes and linked family cookbooks easy to find in one place.

Reduce misunderstandings and scheduling friction by sharing facts, not edits. A read-only shared calendar helps separated families coordinate children's schedules without the friction of editable calendars. No one can change anyone else's calendar—just neutral visibility that reduces misunderstandings. Recipe sharing is also useful here when households want consistent meal planning and food context without extra messages.

Lightweight visibility across people and schedules without changing how teams work. ComingUp Today adds situational awareness — it augments, not replaces, existing schedule systems. Add a shared layer of awareness that works alongside existing tools. See who's out, busy, or available without disrupting workflows.

These are the use cases where ComingUp Today most clearly reduces friction and cognitive load, but they're not the only ones. Anywhere multiple people need a shared, neutral view of upcoming schedules—without giving up control of their own calendars—the same benefits apply. If coordination matters more than editing, a read-only “what's next” view often fits naturally.
Recipes are also a live feature for households and family networks, with private household notes, public sharing controls, and print-friendly recipe pages. Learn more on the Recipes feature page.
