URLflows Next Up

Live

Calendar reminders pop up once and disappear behind your work. Next Up stays in view: a big countdown to your next meeting that changes colour — with an optional sound and flash — as the time gets close, and a Join button when it's time to go. It's a single HTML file you download and open in Chrome, and it reads Google Calendar through a small script in your own Google account, so your events never pass through anyone else. Private, free, forever.

What you get

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: 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.
