What calendars can you integrate? It's a no-go if it doesn't have Outlook calendar integration. App developers always assume everyone is OK using Google calendar. Functionality for only Google calendar alienates a large portion of the your prospective user pool who are "Google-Free".

Due to popular demand, Google Calendar will be our first integration. After that, we'll consider adding more Calendars, like Outlook.

  Can you consider the improtance of also integrating with Color Coding too when you do these? You seriously don't want to see my calendar each week. (Or maybe you do for understanding this pain point).. but having a personal planning tool understand the colors of my calendar events would be an immediate killer for me. I've tested abotu 15 different tools, and in the end found that there wans't any personal tools available. The closest I found was Sunsama. I currently use "Sortd" though for the email integration.

    Thanks for your feedback and suggestions. I do not fully understand your point on "Color Coding" yet. Please get in touch via help@upbase.io and give me a bit more detail (plus some screenshots, if possible).

    Founder at Sunsama here. What would close the gap between "closest" and "perfect for you"?

      Here's my calendar for the week. Red = External (Very Likely, I need preparation + Notes). Blue = Internal Green = 121 Session etc. Black = Self-Blocked to Stop People trying to Add me to Calls Basically, I have 40+ events a week. If I have to go through each one and self-organise when I already organise in my Gmail calendar via Color Coding, it would be huge barrier for me. https://imgur.com/qXfg5PC https://imgur.com/qXfg5PC I ended up loving the interface, but the extra work I was creating for myself to "filter" and prioritise which activities needed Tasks was a deal breaker for me.
