Built for Social Life. Not for Business Meetings
Every feature in GetSoCal is designed to make coordinating with friends, partners, and groups more seamless than texting.
Complete Control Over Your Calendar
Share single-use links with first dates, busy/free views with casual acquaintances, event titles with trusted friends, or a full partner overlay.
Effortless Group Coordination
Find overlapping free time across multiple schedules, propose up to 3 candidate times, and let group members vote in-app or via SMS links.
Two-Way Couple & Roommate View
See your partner’s busy blocks directly on your calendar with a distinct color overlay. Avoid conflicts without account sharing or joint inboxes.
No App Download Required for Friends
Recipients open your link via text, select a time, and get automated SMS check-ins and .ics calendar files without ever creating an account.
15-Minute Read-Only Calendar Sync
Direct Google OAuth syncs busy/free blocks every 15 minutes. SoCal never alters your Google Calendar or writes event data back without consent.
How GetSoCal Works
From setting your availability to confirming a hangout, here is how easy social scheduling should be.
1
Sync & Set Availability
Connect Google Calendar via read-only OAuth and set recurring availability blocks for your free hours, gym time, or open weekends.
2
Share Your Link
Send your standard share link to friends or generate a single-use guest link with an automatic 7-day expiration via SMS.
3
Request or Vote
Friends pick a time or vote on up to 3 proposed group times. Non-users vote via SMS magic link without creating an account.
4
Confirm & Meet
Confirmed meetups generate SMS notifications and .ics calendar invites, plus an automated pre-meeting SMS check-in sent at a scheduled time before the meetup.
