“Deep focus is a superpower — until you miss the standup you forgot about 20 minutes ago.”
— Every remote developer, eventually
The calendar problem is real.
You're managing multiple Outlook and Google calendars across different organizations. You've tried subscribing and sharing calendars between them — but native sync can take 30 minutes to 3 hours to pick up new events. By the time it refreshes, you've already missed the standup.
You've got multiple monitors, alarms on every device, and you still find yourself obsessively tab-switching to make sure nothing slipped through. It's exhausting.
There has to be a better way. There is.
Three steps. Five minutes. Zero installations.
Sign in to each of your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace accounts from your personal browser. We request read-only access — nothing is installed on your work laptops.
If your employer blocks third-party apps, we have a simple copy-paste workaround.
All your meetings appear in a single, color-coded calendar. J1 in blue, J2 in red, J3 in green — you choose the colors.
Conflicts are highlighted instantly.
Configure audio alerts that blast through your headphones — foghorn, air horn, gentle chime, whatever it takes.
Browser notifications fire even when the tab is in the background.
Features
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Calendar changes appear in under 5 seconds via webhook integration. No more 30-minute sync lag.
Each job gets its own color. See at a glance which meeting belongs to which employer.
Instant alerts when meetings from different jobs overlap. Resolve conflicts before they become problems.
Configurable sounds — foghorn, chime, alarm bell — at 15, 10, 5, and 1 minute before every meeting.
"What's next?" dashboard shows upcoming meetings across all jobs, sorted by time.
Employer blocks third-party apps? No problem — just copy-paste a calendar link. No sign-in required, no IT approval needed.
Security
Built for paranoia. Because you should be.
We understand what's at stake. BayCal is designed from the ground up to protect your privacy.
All syncing happens via API tokens. You sign in from your personal browser on your personal device. Nothing is ever installed on your work laptops.
We only request Calendars.Read permission. BayCal never writes to, modifies, or deletes anything on your work calendars.
We don’t log your IP address, location, or login times. BayCal runs entirely on your personal device — your employer’s IT sees nothing.
For maximum privacy, connect via a simple calendar link instead of sign-in. Zero footprint in your employer’s admin console — no apps registered, no permissions granted, no trace left behind.
Your data is encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a unique key for each user. Even our own database administrators cannot read your calendar content.
Delete your account and all data is permanently purged. No backups retained. No traces left. You were never here.
“We built BayCal because we needed it ourselves. We know what's at stake — your livelihood. Security isn't a feature we added. It's why the product exists.”
