One calendar for every engagement
Synced gives consultants one calendar across their own firm and every client account they've been issued, on Google or Outlook. It stops double-booking across engagements and plans time for the deliverables between meetings.

What gets in the way today
Double-booked across clients
Initech's steering committee lands on top of Northwind interviews because neither calendar knows about the other.
Copy-and-paste blockers
Mirroring every meeting into every calendar by hand, or with a sync tool that copies events, leaks client names into other clients' calendars.
Deliverables slip
The model, the findings deck and the SOW need hours of focus that never appear on any calendar.
How it works with Synced
- Step 1
See every engagement at once
Connect your firm account and each client account. The week shows all of them; a meeting you're invited to twice appears once.

Busy is enough
Synced doesn't copy client events between accounts. Other calendars only ever count as busy time, so names stay where they belong.
- Step 3
Plan the deliverables
Add each deliverable with a length and due date. Synced suggests time inside your working hours, before the deadline, free on every calendar.

Or ask your assistant
"Plan my week: 2 hours on the Initech model before Thursday." Claude shows the plan first and books it on all your calendars when you say yes.

Plan the week from a chat
Through the Synced MCP connector, an assistant captures tasks, lays them out before their due dates and only writes to your calendars after you confirm. Repeating the confirmation can't book anything twice.

Here's a plan that keeps both before they're due and clear of all three calendars: • Wed 2–4 PM: build the Initech model • Thu 8–9 AM: Northwind readout prep Shall I put them on your calendars?
Yes

Done. Both are blocked as busy on your Harbor, Northwind and Initech calendars.
Questions
- How do consultants avoid double-booking across client calendars?
- Connect every client account to Synced and mark them as blocking your time. Anything booked through Synced, by link, Slack or an AI assistant, is only offered where all of them are free.
- Does Synced copy my client meetings into other calendars?
- No. It reads each calendar in place. The only things it writes are meetings you create through it and task blocks, which are private busy events.
- Can I keep a personal calendar in the mix?
- Yes. Connect it like any other account. Its events count as busy, so clients can't book over school pickup, and they only ever see you as busy.
- What happens when a planned task's time gets taken?
- Ask for another time and Synced checks your calendars again. When an assistant commits a plan, any time that has filled up since is skipped rather than double-booked.
- Which calendars are supported?
- Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook (Microsoft 365), any number of accounts.
