Questions
What people ask about calendar apps.
What is the best calendar app for freelancers?
+
One that shows all your calls in one place and lets clients book you without back-and-forth. Google Calendar is the common base; SayBriefly syncs with it both ways and adds booking links, meeting notes and a to-do list in the same app.
Is SayBriefly a Calendly alternative?
+
Yes. You get booking links at saybriefly.com/yourname with your own hours, questions, approval and branding. The difference is what happens next: SayBriefly takes notes on the booked call and turns what you promised into tasks.
Does it work with Google Calendar?
+
Yes, both ways. Events from Google Calendar appear in SayBriefly, events you create in SayBriefly go back to Google, and busy times keep your booking page accurate. Outlook calendars aren't supported yet.
Can I have more than one booking link?
+
Yes. Make a booking page for each kind of meeting, each with its own length, hours, time zone and questions.
Can I screen people before they book?
+
Yes. Add your own questions to the booking form, or ask them first and only show available times after, so you can screen leads.
Can I approve bookings before they're confirmed?
+
Yes. Turn on approval for a booking link and new requests wait for you. The guest gets an email when you accept or decline.
Do guests need an account to book?
+
No. Guests pick a time on your booking page, see it in their own time zone, and get a confirmation email with a calendar invite.
Will people book me on holidays?
+
No. Public holidays are blocked on your booking pages automatically, and you can set a minimum notice so nobody books a call for ten minutes from now.
Is there a calendar app for Mac and Windows?
+
Yes. SayBriefly runs on Mac (macOS 12 or later) and Windows 10 and 11, and in the browser at app.saybriefly.com, all in sync.
Do I need a separate scheduling app subscription?
+
No. Booking links are included in SayBriefly, together with the calendar, the meeting notetaker and your to-do list.
It's 4pm on a Friday. The brief is locked, the client is happy, and Scribbble already sent the meeting recap. You close the laptop.
That's the point.
“SayBriefly allows me to give my full awareness in meetings, enabling radical presence, relevant question-asking, and finding flow that was otherwise elusive when note-taking.”

“The AI summaries are incredibly accurate. Our entire team adopted SayBriefly within weeks, and our post-meeting clarity has never been better.”
Marcus Chen, Product Manager
Pixel Lab
“What used to take hours of note-taking and follow-up emails now happens automatically. SayBriefly is the assistant I didn't know I needed.”
Sarah Williams, Head of Design
