Timely
Hit a keyboard shortcut and Timely pastes your actual free times into whatever message you're typing — no more opening your calendar, checking timezones by hand, and typing out "I'm free Tuesday 2-4pm EST" manually.

Description
Sharing your availability in a message — "I'm free Tuesday afternoon" — sounds simple until you're coordinating across timezones or checking two calendars at once, at which point it becomes a small but constant annoyance. Timely turns it into a keyboard shortcut: press it, and your real, timezone-aware availability gets generated and pasted directly into whatever you're writing, in about three seconds.
Timely supports both Google and Outlook/Microsoft 365 calendars simultaneously, detects combined availability across multiple calendars for group scheduling, offers a quick-view of your calendar, configurable search ranges (1-30 days) and meeting buffers, and is explicitly designed as privacy-first — all processing happens locally on your device, with the company stating plainly that "nothing about your calendar ever reaches us" because there's no server involved at all.
💬 Our review
The short version: Timely is a small, focused utility for anyone who types out their availability in messages regularly — it solves one specific annoyance well rather than trying to be a scheduling platform.
The local-only processing claim is the standout feature here, and it's a meaningfully different privacy posture than tools like Calendly, which centralize your calendar data on their servers to generate booking links. For anyone uncomfortable connecting their calendar to a third-party server, a client-side-only tool is a real differentiator, not just marketing language. At £5/month it's cheap enough to be an easy yes if the keyboard-shortcut workflow fits how you actually communicate. The honest limitation is scope: it doesn't generate a shareable booking link the way Calendly does, so if your actual need is letting external people self-book a meeting time (rather than you pasting your availability into a message), Timely doesn't solve that — it's built for messaging, not booking pages.
