ShareAvailability vs typing availability manually
Same plain-text result as typing — without re-reading your week by hand.
The default workflow for many professionals is still: open Calendar, squint at next week, type times into an email, hope you did not miss a conflict. It works until you have multiple calendars or you do it several times a day.
ShareAvailability keeps the destination the same — plain text in your message — and automates only the calendar-reading step.
We are not asking you to switch to booking links. We are asking you to stop retyping free/busy by hand.
Side-by-side
| Feature | ShareAvailability | Typing it out |
|---|---|---|
| Output | Plain text | Plain text |
| Accuracy across calendars | Merges busy times from selected calendars | Depends on what you remember to check |
| Speed | Seconds after sign-in | Minutes of cross-checking |
| Timezone labeling | Intro line includes timezone abbreviation | Easy to forget |
| Recipient friction | None beyond reading your message | None |
| Cost | Free | Free (your time) |
When ShareAvailability fits
- You schedule often enough that manual typing is a tax.
- You juggle work + personal calendars and miss conflicts.
- You want consistent formatting every time.
When Typing it out fits better
- You are offering a single obvious slot ("Thursday at 2").
- You are offline and already looking at a paper planner.
- You prefer total control over every character and never want a tool in the loop.

Frequently asked questions
Will the text look like I typed it?
Yes. Output is ordinary plain text shaped like a normal availability list, not a branded booking card.
Can I edit after generating?
Absolutely. Copy, then delete or tweak lines before you send.
Do I need to sign in every time?
You sign in with Google to read your calendar. After that, generating is a few clicks.
Is manual typing wrong?
No. For one-off simple times it is fine. This tool helps when the calendar check is the slow part.
