Add travel time to Superhuman Calendar
Published 17 September 2026
Superhuman Calendar doesn't add travel time. It shows your calendars next to your inbox, turns an email into an event and offers your free times with a booking link, but nothing in it looks up the trip to a meeting. DOFOTT writes a travel block before and after every event with a location straight into your Google account, and Superhuman shows those blocks like any other event. Nothing to install in Superhuman.
Why Superhuman can't do this on its own
Superhuman is an email app with a calendar beside it. The calendar is a view of the Google or Outlook accounts you connect: the events stay in those accounts, and Superhuman reads and writes them there.
That's also why the drive goes missing. When you share availability from an email, Superhuman offers the times your calendar shows as free. If the hour before an in-person meeting is empty in Google Calendar, it's free in the email you send, and someone can take it.
Travel time needs two things: a Google Maps lookup for the trip, and a busy block that lives in the calendar itself, so your inbox, your booking link and your phone all see it.
Three steps
- Check that your Google account is connected in Superhuman. If your Google events already show in Superhuman's calendar, this step is done.
- Connect DOFOTT. On dofott.com, click Connect Google Calendar and sign in with Google. Set your home address, a work address if you have one, and how you travel: driving, transit, walking or cycling.
- That's it. DOFOTT adds a travel block before and after every event with a location in the calendars you tick. Superhuman shows them as soon as it has them from Google.
What you'll see in Superhuman
- The times you share leave room for the road. The blocks are busy events, so the free times you add to an email skip the drive there and back. The one exception is an invitation you haven't said yes to: its blocks stay free until you do, because a meeting that may not happen shouldn't close off the time.
- Accept an invitation, the trip appears. Say yes to a meeting with an address from your inbox; the answer goes to Google, and DOFOTT puts the trip around it.
- Events you make from an email count too. Give an event a location when you create it in Superhuman and it gets blocks, like one made in Google Calendar.
- Move the meeting, the blocks follow. Change the time or the place and the blocks move or change with it. Delete the meeting and they go.
- One button to undo. Delete account and remove all DOFOTT blocks in DOFOTT's settings takes out every block it created. Your calendar goes back to how it was.
Things to know
- Google accounts only. If you use Superhuman with Outlook, DOFOTT can't add travel time to that calendar yet. If you connect both, only the Google calendars get travel blocks.
- Video calls get no block. A meeting whose location is only a link has no trip.
- Recurring meetings get one recurring block, not a separate block for every week.
- The durations come from Google Maps, for the time of day the meeting starts: live traffic when driving, timetables for transit. If you want slack for parking or finding the room, add a 5, 10 or 15-minute buffer in DOFOTT's settings.
Connect Google Calendar → Free during beta.
Does Superhuman have a travel time feature?
No. Superhuman Calendar shows the calendars you connect, creates events from email and shares your availability, but it does not look up a trip or add travel time. DOFOTT adds the blocks to your Google Calendar, and Superhuman displays them.
Do I need to install anything in Superhuman?
No. DOFOTT connects to your Google account once. Superhuman already reads that account, so the blocks appear on their own.
Will the availability I share from Superhuman leave out the travel time?
Yes. The blocks are busy events in Google Calendar, so those hours are not offered as free. The one exception is an invitation you have not said yes to: its blocks stay free until you do.
I use Superhuman with Outlook. Does this work?
Not yet. DOFOTT works with Google Calendar accounts. If Superhuman shows both, only the Google calendars get travel blocks.
Is DOFOTT free?
Free during beta. When a paid plan comes, you get 30 days' notice by email, and the blocks already in your calendar stay.
How do I remove the blocks?
One button in DOFOTT's settings deletes your account and every block it created.
