Calendar sync
Every calendar you connect, telling the same story
One person can easily end up with four calendars and no way to reconcile them. BusyWait mirrors your work and personal calendars into each other as busy, so every one of them shows the same picture and none of them reads the others.
Mirror or push, chosen per pair
Each connection between two calendars is a sync, and every sync has a direction and a payload. There are two directions, and a payload that starts at the minimum and only grows if you decide it should.
- Mirror
- Two calendars keep each other honest. Book in either and the other blocks the time. Use it between the accounts that are all equally yours.
- Push
- One calendar feeds another and never the reverse. Use it when a client needs to see that you are busy but has no business writing to your diary.

The payload
Three fields cross over, until you say otherwise
A mirrored event carries a start, an end and the status busy. The title, guest list, location, description and video link stay in the calendar the event was created in unless you switch them on for that one sync. Attachments have no switch. The free plan mirrors both ways, as the paid plans do.
When it does not go to plan
A sync that fails, fails loudly
If a calendar stops syncing, BusyWait tells you and names the calendar. It does not sync half of it and say nothing, and it changes only the blocks it wrote itself.
Connect two calendars, free
The free plan keeps two calendars in sync both ways: enough to fix the clash that made you search for this. Add the rest when it earns it.
