Simple products can create a butterfly effect of positive chain reactions. A watch on your wrist ensures you always have the correct time. A thermos keeps your coffee warm so you can easily access a comforting drink. A window mount thermometer lets you know precisely how nippy it is outside. All of these tools and resources work together to support you and make your personal and professional life just a little bit easier.
Ordinary items with extraordinary impact
Take a look at your phone. Yes, it’s an essential tool for communication, but it’s also much more than that. It stores photos, sends reminders, acts as an alarm every morning, and has both a camera and a built-in flashlight. These seemingly utilitarian features have been compiled into a single device that saves energy and time. Cal.com is taking a similar approach to calendar scheduling by building a system that is open source, modular, and can be used by everyone.
The Cal.com app store is a space that has been developed to simplify the way people incorporate scheduling. Our users can customize their calendar scheduling toolbox by picking and choosing from an assortment of practical integrations and extensions. Each new application provides an additional avenue that can be used to gain more free time by spending less time comparing agendas and sending out appointment reminders.
An app that can make a difference
One of the most useful apps in the store is one of the simplest. Weather in your calendar allows you to view the relevant forecast every time you visit your connected calendar. The app displays a 16-day forecast using data from an OpenWeatherMap. Enter your choice, and you’re good to go.
Enabling this app means that whenever you check your calendar to verify your upcoming meetings and appointments, you also get a quick bird’s eye view of the weather. Without adding any extra steps to your workflow for the day, the app quickly lets you know if you need to bundle up or grab your umbrella on your way out the door.
The weather is a mercurial creature, and its sudden changes in temperament can cost you time, especially if you’re unprepared. Enabling weather in your calendar is a small and simple action that you can take to simplify your relationship with the weather and how it affects your schedule.
