Cyclone: Workspace Add-on for Google Calendar

Operating on a 6, 7, or 10 day calendar cycle can offer many benefits. Calendar management isn’t one of them.

Google Calendar is designed to help you manage events that repeat on a Monday - Friday schedule. If you're working with different rules for recurring events, scheduling meetings with Google Calendar can be a nightmare.

Increased Overhead

Individually scheduling repeating events wastes a lot of time that could be better spent on other things. If things change, individually deleting connected events can be an even more time-consuming (and error-prone) task.

Juggling Multiple Calendars

Administrative assistants and other calendar-intensive roles can have a lot of trouble scheduling recurring meetings for multiple people.

Muddy Analytics

How many times does each recurring event meet? What's the total time you'll spend in each event? It’s hard to answer even the most basic questions related to repeated events.

Ghost Meetings

Naive repetition of recurring events will populate an event on a Google Calendar even when your organization has a holiday. This populates a calendar with "ghost" events that should not have been scheduled in the first place.

Cyclone Features

Cyclone is a Google Workspace Add-on for Google Calendar that makes it easy to schedule and analyze events that repeat outside of a regular Monday - Friday pattern.

Easy Calendar Event Management

Add and Delete recurring events with 1-click on any cycle/schedule pattern.

Cyclone Lives in Google Calendar. A simple interface is accessible from the Google Calendar sidebar. No uploading .ics files, and no scheduling of dozens of individual events.
One-click option for adding and deleting recurring events. A single button creates repeating events through a specified date range. Deleting connected recurring events is just as easy.
Schedule recurring events for other people. Users can add/delete recurring cycle-based events for any Calendar with edit privileges.
No holiday scheduling. Recurring events can be scheduled to repeat every cycle, every other cycle, or on a Mon-Fri schedule that skips holidays or other days with special schedules.

Convenient Planning with Almanac (Coming Soon)

View nuanced meeting statistics and generate printable, customizable planners to help everyone understand their schedule.

Helpful planning analytics. Precalculated statistics like total meeting time, total number of meetings, and sequential event numbering.
Customizable planner options. Planners are generated in Google Sheets, so customizing event names and style options is easy and familiar.
Unique colors in one Google Calendar. Specify a unique color for a recurring meeting group to help you quickly understand the nature of a meeting.

Simple Configuration.

Set up Cylcone for your Google Workspace with minimal administrative involvement.

Easy cycle configuration. Select an existing cycle calendar to provide a pattern for recurring day labels. Or, configure a spreadsheet with a more nuanced, multi-divisional calendar. 6-day, 7-day, 10-day cycles? No problem.
Workspace ready. Google Workspace Admins can quickly deploy Cyclone for all Workspace users.
Daylight Savings and Time-Zone Aware. Events are scheduled with an awareness of time-zone specific patterns, including daylight savings.
