"The problem with calendars isn't productivity. It's communication." — Ryan Brodie, Founder

So we built a shared calendar around chat. Every event has its own thread. Every change posts automatically. Files, photos, notes, and decisions stay with the event they belong to — not scattered across WhatsApp, iMessage, email, and five other apps.

Create a group of 2 to 100, add your people, and start sharing in seconds. Couples, families, friends, clubs, students, sports teams, healthcare teams, work teams, shift workers, travellers, childcare, and event planners — OurCal has a template for every group. More than a planner or organiser — a shared space where your group actually communicates. Trusted by 100K+ groups worldwide.

The shared calendar app your group will actually use.


CHAT IN EVERY EVENT

Every event has its own thread. Talk about the plan inside the plan. Share photos, files, and notes without leaving the event. React, reply, quote — just like a messenger, but everything stays in context.


AUTOMATIC CHANGE TRACKING

Someone moved the dentist? You'll know. Every change posts a before-and-after update automatically. No more "wait, did you move that?" No more missed updates buried in a group chat.


COLOUR-CODED CALENDAR VIEWS

Every member gets a colour. Every event shows who it's for. See your kids' activities, your partner's shifts, and your own schedule in a single view. A busy family's week reads at a glance — no labels needed.


SYNC ALL YOUR CALENDARS

Google Calendar, Outlook, Samsung Calendar — pull them into one place. Already subscribe to calendars for sports fixtures, school term dates, or TV schedules? Sync those too. See your personal diary and shared calendars side by side. No more switching apps. No more double-booking.


SMART EVENT CREATION

Type "Dentist Tuesday 3pm for an hour" and it's done. Natural language event creation, entirely on device. Add a reminder, set a todo, or schedule a recurring event — all in plain English.


GROUPS FOR YOUR WHOLE LIFE

Home. Work. School. Social. Each group has its own calendars, members, and chat. Set up one for your family, a separate one for your team, another for your kids' sports club. One app, every group.


SHARE SHIFTS AND ROTAS

Nurses, paramedics, police officers, hospitality workers — share your shift rota so your family and friends never plan over your working days.


ENCRYPTED. EVERYTHING. ALWAYS.

Every profile, group, calendar, event, message, and file — end-to-end encrypted by default. ANSSI-certified. Not a feature. A foundation. Your data stays yours. No ads. No tracking. Ever.


WIDGETS AND NOTIFICATIONS

Stay on top of your schedule with home screen widgets filtered by member or calendar. Get reminders, change alerts, and chat notifications in real time.

Ratings and reviews

Updated.... It would not open without a purchase first. I did because "all subscriptions" get a 14 day trial. It still would not log in. Within minutes, I deleted the app, and wanted a refund. Google denied the refund. However, the Ourcal Team provided me with a refund and have been engaged with me to troubleshoot the issue. I appreciate that. Hopefully, I will be able to try the app without paying first.

Not User Friendly Nor Intuitive. App instructions do not match functionality within app. Supposedly a free app for a couple but in reality you have to set up a couple as a group to get exterior calendars to sync which means a paid subscription. There aren't any real instructions so it is a constant back & forth emailing for help. OurCal is a NoGo for us!

I get that you want people to enable notifications and other items, but being unable to dismiss the pop-up messages is essentially nagware. I dont need notifications, and I don't need to import anything right away. Big blue bubbles in the way nagging me to do something without being able to dismiss them is exactly why I am not trusting you to deliver notifications. Trust lost and uninstalled.
