Getting Started

What Next Up does

A quick tour of the countdown, alerts, agenda, pop-out and join button.

Download and open Next Up

Pick the right file, keep it somewhere safe, and open it in Chrome.

Set up with a personal Google account

Connect your calendar in about 5 minutes: add the script, get your key, pick calendars.

Set up with a work (Google Workspace) account

The same setup, with the extra choices a company or school account may need.

Core How-Tos

Set up alerts, colours and sounds

Choose when each alert starts, its colour and sound, and how flashing behaves.

Timer-only mode, the pop-out, full screen and an app window

Show just the timer, pop it out into a small window, go full screen, or open Next Up without tabs.

Choose calendars and use the day agenda

Pick which calendars count, show today's timeline, pin events, and filter long or declined ones.

Customize & Configure

Arrange the layout and choose a theme

Drag header items, resize the timer card, collapse the header, pick from 30+ themes, and customize their colours.

Use several Google accounts

Run a separate Next Up window for each account, each with its own settings.

Privacy, Data & Troubleshooting

Privacy and your calendar data

How your events reach Next Up, and where your settings are kept.

Troubleshoot common issues

Connection errors, key mismatches, missing calendars, silent alerts and more.

Back up and restore your settings

Take every window's settings, sounds and themes to another computer, browser or folder.
