Easily plan & schedule
Plan events, tasks, and meetings in one intuitive calendar app that syncs seamlessly across all your devices.
Google Calendar is a cross‑platform scheduling app that centralises events, reminders, and tasks in one streamlined interface. It syncs across Android, iOS, and web, ensuring your latest plans are always available wherever you work or travel.
The app shines at coordinating modern, busy lives by linking directly with Gmail, Google Meet, and other Workspace tools. Automatic event creation, shared calendars, time‑zone support, and integrated tasks help reduce missed appointments, simplify collaboration, and keep personal and professional commitments clearly organised.

Yes. On mobile, recently accessed calendars and events are cached so you can view and edit them offline. Changes sync automatically once a connection returns. Some advanced features, such as Meet links or shared calendar updates, require an active internet connection.
You can add and view calendars from Exchange, iCloud, and other providers that support standard sync. However, some advanced Workspaceu2011specific features may only be available when using a Google Account signed into the app and associated productivity services.
Google Calendar inherits Googleu2019s enterprise security, including encryption in transit, robust access controls, and compliance frameworks for Workspace customers. Admins can manage sharing policies, retention, and device access, but users should still avoid oversharing sensitive details in event descriptions or attachments.
Yes. You can share entire calendars or individual events, controlling whether others can only see busy times, full event details, or also make changes. Shared calendars are ideal for coordinating childcare, shift schedules, project timelines, or meeting availability across groups.
Core Google Calendar functionality is free with a standard Google Account. Advanced capabilities such as appointment booking pages, enhanced Meet features, and organisationu2011wide controls require eligible Google Workspace or Google One subscriptions, but basic scheduling, sharing, and reminders remain free.
