Sync Work and Personal Calendars
Keep your work and personal schedules visible in one place without sharing private details with your employer.
The problem
You have a work calendar (Google or Outlook) and a personal calendar on a different provider. When someone books a meeting during your dentist appointment or your kid’s school play, you only find out when it’s too late.
Manually copying events between calendars is tedious and easy to forget. Sharing your personal calendar with your employer isn’t an option — you don’t want your manager seeing “Therapy appointment” or “Job interview prep.”
How Hetk solves this
Set up a one-way sync from your personal calendar to your work calendar with Mark as Private enabled. Hetk copies your personal events as “Busy” blocks — your coworkers see that you’re unavailable, but the event title, description, and attendees are hidden.
Typical setup
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Source | Personal calendar (Google, Outlook, or iCloud) |
| Target | Work calendar |
| Direction | One-way (personal → work) |
| Privacy | Mark as Private — title replaced with “Busy” |
| Show As | Busy |
What your coworkers see
- A blocked time slot marked “Busy”
- No event title, description, location, or attendees
- Your free/busy status is accurate for scheduling
What stays private
- Original event title and description
- Location, attendees, and meeting links
- Which personal calendar the event came from
Why not just use Google’s “other calendars” feature?
Google lets you view other Google calendars, but it doesn’t work across providers. If your work is on Outlook and your personal calendar is on Google (or iCloud), native tools can’t help. Hetk syncs across Google, Outlook, and iCloud — any combination.
Events also sync in real time. When you add a personal event, it appears as a busy block on your work calendar within seconds.
