How to Share Your Calendar Availability Without a Link
1. Connect Google Calendar
We only see when you're busy and free, never event details.
2. Set your window
Pick your date range, working hours, and timezone. Or just use the defaults.
3. Copy and paste anywhere
Your free times appear as plain text. Paste into any email, Slack message, or text.
Works especially well for
Coffee Chats
Don't be the weirdo sending a calendar link for a friendly coffee.
Job Interviews
Sending a booking link to a recruiter is the fastest way to lose the job.
Salespeople
Nothing cools a warm lead faster than a cold Calendly link.
Students
Be the hero of the group chat by actually picking a time instead of just asking “wbu?”
Client Calls
Give VIPs the white-glove treatment, not a data entry task.
Real Estate Agents
Text showing times before they call the next agent.
ShareAvailability works for anyone who needs to share availability from Google Calendar as plain text, without sending a booking link.

Nothing is stored
Your calendar data is fetched once to generate your availability, then immediately discarded. We don't keep it. Period.
Industry-standard authentication
We use OAuth 2.0 — the same login standard used by Google, Slack, Zoom, and every major platform.

Why share availability as plain text instead of a booking link?
Why share availability as plain text instead of a booking link?
A booking link says "schedule yourself into my calendar." A plain-text list says "here are some times that work — what's good for you?" It's a small difference that changes the tone of the entire interaction. For coffee chats, interviews, client calls, and sales conversations, text feels personal. We call it the white-glove approach to scheduling.
Is ShareAvailability a Calendly alternative?
Is ShareAvailability a Calendly alternative?
It solves a different problem. Calendly is great when you want someone to self-book a meeting — think demos, onboarding, inbound leads. ShareAvailability is for when you want to share your availability without making the other person click a link and pick a slot. If the relationship matters more than the automation, ShareAvailability is the better fit.
