Is NextCal really free?+
Yes. NextCal is free while we learn how people use it and continue improving it. We may introduce optional paid features later, but the core calendar experience will remain free.
What makes NextCal different from other calendar apps?+
NextCal keeps your immediate next event visible and counts down to it. It also renders rich event descriptions with headings, lists, emphasis, links, and spacing instead of flattening everything into plain text.
Can I create events with ChatGPT or Claude?+
Yes. When ChatGPT or Claude adds a detailed workout, recipe, itinerary, or other plan to your connected calendar, NextCal displays the description with its useful formatting intact.
What happens when I browse a different week?+
The “Next” indicator still refers to the immediate upcoming event on your calendar. The live countdown stays oriented around what is actually coming up next.
Can I view and print an entire event description?+
Yes. Expand any event into a distraction-free full-screen view, then print the formatted description when you want a workout, recipe, itinerary, or agenda on paper.
Where can I use NextCal?+
NextCal is available now as a web app. A dedicated iPad app is coming soon.
