In Google Calendar, travel time is something you add by hand, if you remember: one way, with a number you guessed. DOFOTT puts the real trip from Google Maps before and after every event with a location, there and back, by car, transit, bike or on foot. You set your address once. Then forget it.
Connect Google CalendarMove or resize an event and its travel block follows within seconds. Delete the event and the block goes.
Every calendar in your account you can write to. Tick the ones you want; the rest are left alone.
One recurring block for a recurring event. Change a single occurrence and only that date changes.
Each block links to a small page for that trip: mode, starting point, return, or no travel at all.
Two events back to back? If going straight from the first is shorter than coming from home, that is what you get.
Add five, ten or fifteen minutes to every trip for parking and finding the door.
Travel blocks stay quiet and show you as free. Your own events keep their reminders.
Blocks take any of the eleven Google Calendar colors, or your calendar's default.
The beta ends when DOFOTT has run for thirty days for at least ten people without touching anyone's own event, bringing back a deleted block, or writing the same block twice. When a paid plan comes you will hear about it by email at least thirty days ahead, and the blocks already in your calendar stay.
Connect Google CalendarA Google account with Google Calendar. Connect once, set your address, and that is the whole setup.
The blocks are ordinary calendar events, so they show wherever your Google Calendar does. There is nothing to install.
Any calendar in your account that you can write to. Your primary calendar is on by default; tick the others on the settings page.
If the events you look at live in a Google account — the usual case when a Google account is added to Apple Calendar — then yes, and the blocks come down to Apple Calendar like any other event. If they live in iCloud, DOFOTT cannot see them. How to tell which one you have
Free for everyone during the beta. A paid plan comes later, with thirty days of notice by email; existing blocks are never removed.
On the settings page, "Delete account and remove all DOFOTT blocks" takes every block out of your calendar, deletes your data and revokes DOFOTT's access at Google, immediately. You can also cut the access from your Google account; the blocks then stay until you delete them yourself. Google account: third-party connections
Google Maps, with live traffic for driving and timetables for transit. You cannot type minutes; that is deliberate.
Its block moves with it, usually within seconds and at most within fifteen minutes.
DOFOTT only looks at events starting from about an hour ago onwards, and up to sixty days out. A trip already made does not need a block, and rewriting a calendar’s past is not a thing a tool should do. The hour of grace is there so a meeting that started a moment ago still gets its blocks.
Yes. Every block's description has a link to a page for that trip: travel mode, starting address, return trip, or no travel time for that event.
A recurring event gets one recurring block. Move or cancel one occurrence and only that date changes; delete one block and only that date stays clear.
The id, location, start and end of events with a location, and an encrypted Google token. Never titles, attendees or descriptions. Deleting your account removes all of it and every block from your calendar.
Never. DOFOTT only inserts, moves and removes blocks it created itself, each marked with a private tag that it checks before touching anything.
