CalScout app icon

Your free times, in one friendly message.

CalScout finds the open times across all your calendars, turns the ones you pick into a message you can send anywhere, and holds them until they reply.

Coming soon to the App Store and the Mac App Store

For iPhone, iPad and Mac · Free to use, with an optional Pro upgrade

Pick three times, Copy & Hold, confirm the one they chose. The other holds let go.

1

Pick

Your open times show right on the week, at the meeting length you need. Tap or drag the ones you'd like to offer.

2

Send

CalScout writes the message — dates, times and any time zones you add — ready to paste into email, Messages or Slack.

3

Confirm

Holds keep those times free. When they reply, confirm in a tap: the meeting is booked and the rest let go.

Features

Everything between “when works for you?” and a meeting on the calendar.

Holds

Times stay yours until they reply.

Copy & Hold places a tentative hold for each time you offered, so nothing else books over them. Confirm one and it becomes the meeting; the others disappear.

  • See every open offer, and when its holds lapse
  • Offers expire on their own after a few days
  • Changed your mind? Undo works on everything

Time zones

Their time, beside yours.

Add a time zone and the message shows both times, with the date when it's already tomorrow there. With Pro, tell CalScout where someone is and when they work, and the times outside their day fade away.

  • An extra time zone on the week and in the text
  • People you meet remembered, with their hours PRO
  • Suggest picks a well-spread handful of good times

Repeating meetings PRO

Standing meetings, free every week.

Weekly, every other week or monthly: CalScout only offers times that are free for every meeting in the series, and books it as one repeating event.

  • Up to 12 meetings, checked against your whole calendar
  • Skip the odd all-day event if you'd move that one anyway
  • Send a calendar invite they add with a tap

Group scheduling PRO

Paste when they're free. See what suits everyone.

Paste the times others sent you — an email, a chat, anything. CalScout reads them on your device and shows only the times that work for all of you.

  • Read with Apple's on-device model, in any time zone
  • Several people at once, each switched on or off
  • Send CalScout text from any app's share sheet

Your settings, people and offers stay in step on every device through your own iCloud.
