Icalviz connects to any public iCal feed and displays your availability day by day on any page or post, using a simple shortcode. Works with Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, Nextcloud, and any service that exposes a public .ics link. Each day is automatically classified: 🟢 Free — no events scheduled 🟡 Partial availability — some time slots are taken 🔴 Fully booked — your entire working hours are covered Visitors can click any day to see occupied time slots in a clean timeline modal. Optionally display a call-to-action button (e.g. “Book this slot”) that links to your booking system. Why Icalviz? Stop copy-pasting your schedule into a webpage. Connect your Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, or any iCal-compatible calendar — Icalviz reads your public iCal feed and updates automatically, every 30 minutes. Use cases 🏢 Meeting room & shared space booking — Display a room’s availability calendar so your team or clients can instantly see open slots, without logging into any system. 📅 Show your public availability as a freelancer or consultant — Let potential clients see when you are free before they even reach out.
