Show HN: Jet, my Mac calendar app to help you keep in touch across time zones
- dv_says 11y agoOP here. Spending the last couple of years abroad, I found myself wishing for an app that combined a calendar and a world clock. Scheduling phone calls/chats across time zones while double-checking your calendar could be quite a chore! I built this app in Swift over the last couple of months and would love to hear what you think. Below are some promo codes for HN. To redeem, open Mac App Store, and click "Redeem" on the right. If they're all gone, just drop me an e-mail and I'll be happy to give you another.

- kolev 11y agoThanks for the gift! This is a nice app for distributed teams, just one suggestion: I work in 3 zones (sometimes in even more), so, it would be nice to be able to see more than just one extra time zone at a time.
- joshcrowder 11y ago+1 I need to be able to handle 3-5 most days
- dv_says 11y agoThanks for the feedback! Definitely very useful for feature planning.
- dv_says 11y agoUpdate: All promo codes above have been taken -- feel free to e-mail me if you'd like one.
- stephenr 11y agoOn iPhone so I can't try this out right now. Do calendar entries in this end up in Calendar.app/iCloud/etc?
- dv_says 11y agoYes! The app shows all events from Calendar (including iCloud) and instantly syncs back there if you add an event.
- stephenr 11y agoSome feedback now I've tried it out (for just a few minutes) The lack of "double-click to add an entry <here>" is unintuitive - I've got very used to that action in iCal/Calendar. I would imagine that anything you can do to replicate the built-in calendar interaction would be a bonus. Im slightly confused about who makes this app. This page is from "Mornings", but everything in the App store and in the App itself reference "Ready Tap Go".. I think the app is great, but I'd feel more comfortable if I knew whose App I'm giving access to my calendar data
- dv_says 11y agoThanks for taking a look! Double-clicking to add events and more consistent branding are definitely on my to do list. Mornings is a suite that will include more productivity apps (in the works!)
- tylerpachal 11y ago(Being picky here) Do you think you could change the magnifying glass to an calendar icon? It took me a little while to figure out how to get to next week without scrolling all the way there. Really liking it so far.
- dv_says 11y agoThanks for the feedback! That icon is something I'd like to improve as well.
- drglitch 11y agoOutlook for mac (gasp!) and windows, which i find to be a really great email/calendar client, has a feature to turn on second timezone display directly in cal view. For windows users, taskbar clock also shows multiple tzs via simple setting. Aside from that, the app looks pretty sleek!
- toomuchtodo 11y agoGoogle Calendar integration on the roadmap?
- stephenr 11y agoIt appears to use the system's calendar APIs, so if you add your google calendar in "Internet Accounts" I'd assume it will show up?
- segphault 11y agoReally nice-looking application. I don't have as much use for it today, but I would really have loved this back when I was a journalist and had to regularly schedule briefings with foreign companies in different timezones.
