Frequently Asked Questions

GroupCal is a shared calendar platform designed for any group that needs to stay in sync. It's the ideal solution for managing team projects, scheduling bookable resources like meeting rooms, organizing community events, publishing class schedules for schools, and even coordinating a busy family calendar.

While standard calendars let you share a link, their system is designed for individuals to subscribe to a feed, not for a group to truly collaborate. GroupCal was built from the ground up as a group-first platform to solve the key frustrations this causes:

Effortless Onboarding: Instead of manually inviting every person by email (a huge pain for communities), GroupCal lets you share one simple link. Members join instantly, with no signup friction.

Real-Time Push Notifications: Standard shared calendars don't notify the group when something changes. GroupCal sends instant, "chat-like" push notifications for every update, ensuring everyone is always on the same page and the calendar feels live.

Powerful, Granular Permissions: Google's link sharing is all-or-nothing ("everyone can see details"). GroupCal gives you real control essential for business and resource management: restrict members to editing only their own events, hide event details to show only "Busy" times, and control who can add new members.

A Branded Hub, Not a Cluttered List: A shared calendar becomes just another item in a long list within a personal Google Calendar. A GroupCal calendar is a branded hub with its own name, photo, and a clear list of members, creating a true home for your group's schedule.

Absolutely. GroupCal is fully cross-platform. Your entire group can collaborate seamlessly whether they use an iPhone, an Android device, or the web app on their computer. All schedules stay perfectly in sync for everyone.

Yes. This is a core strength. You can create unlimited, separate calendars for different teams, projects, community groups, or bookable resources. Then, view everything together in a single, unified dashboard to get a complete picture of your organization's activities.
