Your personal calendar and work schedule, in sync
Arrively reads your phone calendar and automatically blocks personal time in your work schedule. Customers never book over your kid's soccer game or a doctor's appointment.
How does calendar sync work?
Arrively's calendar sync reads your phone's native calendar and automatically blocks personal events in your work schedule so customers can never book over them. The app uses native device APIs to read only busy/free status from your iOS Calendar, Google Calendar, or any other calendar app on your phone — event names, descriptions, locations, and attendees are never stored or transmitted. Sync happens continuously in the background, so when you add a dentist appointment or your kid's soccer game to your personal calendar, that time is instantly blocked in Arrively. No OAuth login is required and no third-party calendar service is involved. Your personal life stays personal while your work schedule stays accurate.
Reads your phone calendar
The Arrively mobile app reads events from your device calendar (iOS Calendar, Google Calendar, etc.) using native APIs. No OAuth or third-party login needed.
Only busy/free status
Arrively only reads whether a time slot is busy or free. Event names, descriptions, locations, and attendees are never stored or transmitted.
Blocks availability automatically
Personal events automatically block those times in your Arrively schedule. Customers booking online will never see those slots as available.
Can I sync my personal calendar with my work schedule?
Yes. Arrively syncs your personal calendar with your work schedule automatically, so you never need to manually block time for personal events. Most mobile service pros already use their phone calendar for personal commitments, and Arrively works alongside it instead of replacing it. Any event you add to your device calendar — whether it is a doctor's appointment, school pickup, or lunch break — instantly blocks that time in your Arrively schedule. Changes to your calendar reflect in Arrively within seconds. This eliminates the common problem of customers booking during personal time because your availability was not updated, which 38% of service providers experience as scheduling inefficiencies (Zuper, 2025).
Is my personal calendar data private?
Yes. Arrively is designed with privacy as a core principle and never reads, stores, or transmits your personal event details. The app only accesses busy/free time blocks from your device calendar — event names, descriptions, locations, and attendees are completely ignored. There is no OAuth login to Google or Apple required because Arrively uses native device APIs that run entirely on your phone. No third-party calendar service ever sees your data. Your personal life stays personal while your work schedule accurately reflects your true availability. Customers booking through your public page simply see those times as unavailable, with no indication of why.
