### Simplify Arranging Meetings — Introducing CalApp

Arranging meetings can be difficult.

Over my career and time as founder of [Reputationaire](/content/site-root.html) I’ve had to manage an **over-loaded calendar** and struggled to arrange meetings around my, and my contact’s, availability.

You’ll probably agree; navigating your calendar and arranging meetings manually can **waste so much time** that could be otherwise spent productively.

Like many, I have also tried many hosted calendar solutions, however, the permission requirements and sync issues had these tools **taking up more time than they saved!**

Even worse, I noticed a **decrease in reply rates** when recipients had to click an external link to visit my hosted calendar and pick a time.

Upon asking for feedback, people told me that they felt that these solutions had **too many hoops** for them to jump through, and at times the links caused my email to end up in their spam folder.

I thought, _“There must be an easier way for everyone.”_

So I wrote CapApp, a Chrome extension that requires **no permissions** with none of your personal information leaving your device.

[CalApp](http://calapp.co/?utm_source=Medium&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=Reputationaire%20Blog%20Article) gives users a **one-click copy and paste of their availability**, or their colleagues (by simply making their calendars visible within Google Calendar).

From there, it’s a one second **paste into your email, LinkedIn** reply etc.

No matter where your calendar is hosted, you can take advantage of CalApp’s convenient secure extension by importing your events to your Google Calendar — check out this [handy guide](https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37118?hl=en) to doing courtesy of Google.

I’ve included a template feature that allows you to pre-determine the text before and after your availability, **saving the need to customise each message.**

CalApp is already helping people reclaim their time and arrange meetings more effectively.
