Meeting Radar — what's on the radar that isn't on your calendar?
“What’s on the radar that isn’t on your calendar?”Your coworkers and the leaders above you have calendars full of meetings you were never expecting an invite to: another team’s planning session, a partner org’s sync, your skip-level’s calendar, a customer call that affects your week. Most of it is technically visible — those calendars are already shared with you — and it’s not just about not getting left out. It’s a genuinely useful way to learn: what problems other teams are working on, what’s coming down the line, what a leader is actually spending their time on. Reading a dozen calendars by hand every morning to catch it doesn’t scale.That’s a tax you pay every single day. Miss the signal and you’re the last to know — or you never find out at all. Scroll every morning and you’ve burned 20 minutes before your coffee’s cold.Meeting Radar fixes it in one Google Sheet.Point it at the calendars already shared with you — coworkers, cross-team leads, execs, whoever. Every morning it scans them, ignores the meetings you’re already on, and drops the rest into a clean, always-current sheet — de-duplicated, with recurring meetings collapsed into a single row, and the ones that matter to you highlighted green. One glance, and you know exactly what you’re missing.Live Demo👉 See the exact output before you buy: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11t9SApFvaAG3WOZiaSus1ROZxyOCY61Rzqk8EncCn0g/view?gid=460821968#gid=460821968The Results tab is wide, so here it is in two halves:What you get:✅ One sheet, always current. All the meetings across the calendars shared with you, in a single view — newest at the top, with a New? flag so you only read what changed.✅ No noise. Meetings you’re already invited to are removed. Duplicates and recurring series collapse into one row with an occurrence count and the next date/time.✅ Relevance flags. Tell it the people and keywords you care about; matching meetings are highlighted and labeled with the reason.✅ Runs itself. Optional 6am daily refresh. No emails, no notifications to anyone — it just updates your sheet.✅ Strictly read-only & private. It only reads calendars already shared with you. It never creates, edits, joins, RSVPs, or notifies. The one and only calendar permission it requests is read-only.✅ Yours in ~10 minutes. Click “Make a copy,” authorize, paste in a few emails, hit Run. Full step-by-step guide + video included. No coding.This is for you if you’re an engineering manager, program manager, project manager, or anyone coordinating across teams on Google Workspace, and the calendars you need visibility into are already shared with you. It’s not for you if your org only shares free/busy availability, or you’re on a personal Gmail account — it needs full “See all event details” sharing to work. (Not sure? Open the demo and check your own sharing in 30 seconds — instructions inside.)30-day money-back guarantee — if it doesn’t fit, email me for a full refund.FAQIs this allowed? It’s strictly read-only and only ever reads calendars that have already been shared with you — the same events you could open by hand in Google Calendar. It never writes, joins, RSVPs, or notifies anyone. It’s built for cross-team visibility (engineering managers, program/project managers, team leads). You’re responsible for following your own company’s policies — if you can already see a calendar in Google, this just organizes it for you.Will it actually work for me? It needs Google Workspace (work/school account) and the calendars must be shared with you at “See all event details” (many orgs do this by default). Calendars shared only as free/busy are skipped and listed in the log. Not sure? Check the free demo, and remember there’s a 30-day money-back guarantee if it’s not a fit.Is it safe to authorize? What’s that scary Google warning? The permission is pinned to read-only calendar access — it cannot change anything. Because it’s a custom script (not a public app), Google shows a “hasn’t verified this app” screen on first run; that’s normal for personal scripts and the guide walks you through it (Advanced → Go to Meeting Radar → Allow). The full source is visible in your copy.Do I need to know how to code? No. You copy a ready-made sheet and click menu buttons.Does it work on personal Gmail? No — it relies on Workspace calendar sharing.Will people get notified that I’m looking? No emails or notifications are ever sent. (Note: as with any calendar access, Workspace admins can see API reads in audit logs — no tool changes that.)
