Next Up by URLflows

What you get

• A big countdown to your next Google Calendar event, plus smaller timers for up to five events after it
• Three alerts — Get ready, Soon and Starting — at 30, 10 and 1 minute by default, each with its own colour and sound
• A Join meeting button that picks up the Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Webex link from the event
• A day agenda beside the timer, with a line at the current time — great for a time-blocking calendar
• Happening now, Later and Earlier today cards, pinned events, and one-click Open in Maps and Google Calendar
• Timer-only mode, a pop-out timer window that opens where you choose, full screen, or the whole app in its own small window
• Drag the header into any order, resize the timer card, and choose from more than 30 themes — then customize any theme's colours
• Back up every window's settings to a file to move to another computer or browser
• A separate window for each Google account, so work and personal calendars can sit side by side

How to get started

1. Click Download for a personal account above — or Download for a work account if your calendar is on a Google Workspace work or school account.
2. Move the file somewhere it can stay, such as your Documents folder, and double-click it to open it in Chrome. Bookmark it so it's one click away.
3. Click Start setup and follow three steps: add a small read-only script to your Google account, connect with your personal key, and pick your calendars. It takes about 5 minutes, once.
4. Want to look around first? Click Try a demo first to see it with sample events.

Updating: compare the version in Settings → Help with the latest version at the top of this page. If yours is older, download the new version and replace the old file in the same place, with the same name — your settings stay.

Browser support: Next Up is a single HTML file, so there's no Chrome Web Store listing and nothing to install. Open it in Chrome or a Chromium-based browser (Edge, Brave, Opera, Arc, Vivaldi). Browsers that block third-party cookies, such as Brave and Safari, need the script's Who has access set to Anyone — the setup explains why that's safe.
