Dealing with multiple calendars in your life? Keep them in sync without exposing confidential information and get rid of cross-calendar conflicts! Whenever you have an appointment in one calendar, this app creates a Blocker or a full copy of that event in your other calendars automatically in the background. What problem does this solve? By keeping your calendars in sync, you ensure that your colleagues or family members can see your correct availability. Your availability status only gets shown based on the events that you have in a single calendar. So your colleagues at work might see you as “free”, even though you have an appointment on another calendar at that time. Why not use an online service? There are several online services that offer to sync your calendars for you. They all require you to provide them with access to your calendar so that they can manage your calendars, which most security departments won’t allow. This app though works fully offline on your computer, uses native tools to access your calendar and does not collect any data. Please note, that this app can only synchronize calendars, that have been added to your device's Internet Accounts in the System Settings.
