Google Calendar in InstaCal, in short
- Signing in
- Through your browser, the standard OAuth flow. InstaCal never sees your Google password.
- Where the token lives
- In your macOS Keychain — not in a preferences file, and not on any server of ours.
- Sync
- Incremental: only what changed moves. A local cache keeps the panel instant, and it still opens when you're offline.
- Google Meet
- Meet links are detected automatically and turned into a Join button that remains available until the call ends.
- Multiple accounts
- Add more than one Google account, plus Apple and Microsoft 365 alongside them.
- Duplicates
- The same meeting synced from two accounts is collapsed into one row instead of appearing twice.
Google, Apple and Microsoft in one panel.
Most people's calendars are not all in one place. The panel does not care.
Mixed accounts, one agenda
Work Google, personal iCloud and a Microsoft 365 account interleave into a single day, sorted by time.
Calendar Sets across providers
A set can span accounts — "Work" might mean one Google calendar and one Microsoft calendar, and nothing else.
One meeting, one row
When the same meeting arrives through two accounts, InstaCal collapses it rather than showing you a duplicate.
Colours you control
Override any calendar's colour locally — including calendars whose colour an administrator controls.
