Is it safe to connect my Google Calendar?
Yes. We only get read-only access — we literally cannot create, edit, or delete events. We see when you're busy and when you're free, never event names, attendees, or details. Your data is fetched once and immediately discarded. We use OAuth 2.0, the same authentication standard used by Google, Zoom, and Slack.
Why share availability as text instead of a booking link?
Why share availability as 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.
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.
