Simplify. Organise. (And relax.) Organising your schedule should not be a burden. That is why we have created Google Calendar – our free online shareable calendar service. With Google Calendar, it is easy to keep track of all the important events of your life – birthdays, reunions, little league games, doctor's appointments – all in one place.

Using Google Calendar, you can add events and invitations effortlessly, share with friends and family (or keep things to yourself) and search across the Web for events you might enjoy. It is organising made easy.

Features

Calendar Sharing: Set up a calendar for your company's softball team and share it with the whole roster. (Your shortstop will never forget about practice again.) Or share with friends and family so that you can view each other's schedules side by side.

Invitations: Create event invitations, send them to friends and keep track of people's replies and comments, all in one place. Your friends can receive your invitation and post replies even if they do not use Google Calendar themselves.

Search: Find the date of the Baxter family BBQ (you knew it was sometime this summer). Or search public calendars to discover new events in which you are interested and add them to your own calendar.

Mobile Access: Receive event reminders and notifications on your mobile phone.

Event Publishing: Share your organisation's events with the world. Learn more with our Event Publisher Guide.

If you do not yet have an account, you can create one now.

Does Google Calendar connect to other calendar applications and devices?

Can I set limits on the information that I share with others?
Yes. You control how much you share and who you share it with. For instance, you can allow Aunt Jane to see details about your ballet recitals but not your Lambada lessons. Friends and organisations can share their calendar info with you, too, and you can view it alongside your own agenda.

What about privacy? Will Google share my information?
Google takes your privacy as seriously as our own. We will not share your personal information with anyone, except only under the limited circumstances described in our privacy policy. For more details, please refer to the "Information sharing" section of our Privacy Policy and the Google Calendar Privacy Policy.
