The easiest way to share a schedule with people who won't read your emails.
ClanCal lets you create a shared calendar for any group — a church, a fishing crew, a scout troop, a rec league, a friend group — and share it with everyone in minutes. No complicated setup. No paid subscription to get started. No fighting with Google.

Someone has to keep track of everything. That someone is you.
You didn't apply for the job. It just happened. You're the one who knows when the next meeting is. You're the one who texts the reminder the morning of. You're the one who forwards the email that half the group didn't read the first time.
And when someone shows up to the wrong location, or misses the event entirely, or asks “wait, is that this weekend?” — they call you.
ClanCal doesn't make you less important to your group. But it does give you somewhere to put all of this so other people can find it themselves — without calling you.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Your church announcements live in a bulletin half the congregation throws away before they leave the parking lot.
Your fishing charter customers text you asking "is the trip still on for Saturday?" because they lost the confirmation email.
Your scout troop's schedule is in a Facebook group — and three parents refuse to use Facebook.
Your rec league's game schedule is a PDF on a website nobody bookmarks.
Your volunteer fire company's training calendar is a whiteboard in the station that off-shift members never see.
Your friend group's plans live entirely in a group text that's now 5,000 messages long and nobody can find anything.
Your club's events are in a shared Google Calendar that took 45 minutes to set up and still doesn't work right on half the members' phones.
Your youth group's parents keep missing pickup times because the schedule was only announced at last week's meeting.
You don't need a more complicated system. You need a simpler one that actually works for everyone in your group — including the people who aren't great with technology.
Here's what ClanCal gives your group that a group text, a PDF, and a bulletin board can't.
A shared calendar everyone can see, updated in real time, that sends reminders automatically and tells people where to show up — without you having to personally remind anyone.
That's it. That's what your group has been missing.
Here's how it works.
One calendar for the whole group. Different views for different people.
Not everyone in your group needs to see everything.
Your church has a main congregation calendar — but also a separate schedule for the choir, the youth group, the elder board, and the facilities team. With ClanCal, each group sees what's relevant to them and nothing else. No confusion about which events apply to whom. No accidental oversharing of internal meetings.
Your fishing charter has customer-facing trip dates — and your own internal prep and maintenance schedule you don't need customers seeing.
Your rec league has schedules for 12 different teams. Players should see their team's schedule, not all 12.
ClanCal lets you create a shared calendar that shares the right information with the right people — and nothing more.
Church
- Congregation sees Sunday services and events.
- Choir sees rehearsal schedule.
- Elder board sees internal meetings only.
Charter Boat
- Customers see available trip dates and departure times.
- Captain sees full schedule including maintenance days.
Rec League
- Players see their team's schedule only.
- League director sees all 12 teams in one view.
Scout Troop
- All parents see the full troop calendar.
- Troop leaders see the leader-only planning sessions.
Set it once. Stop announcing it every week.
Sunday service is at 10am. Every week. It has been for 40 years.
You shouldn't have to announce it every Sunday, email it every Thursday, and text it every Saturday morning. ClanCal lets you create a recurring event once — and it shows up on every member's calendar, every week, automatically.
Same for the monthly board meeting. The weekly practice. The quarterly fundraiser. The first-Friday-of-the-month fish fry.
And when the event is coming up, ClanCal sends members a reminder — automatically. You don't push it. The app does.
The bulletin board doesn't ping anyone's phone at 9am on Sunday. ClanCal does.
“Wait, where are we meeting?” — never again.
Every event in ClanCal can have a location attached to it. One tap and anyone in the group gets turn-by-turn directions.
This sounds small. It is not.
For a church hosting an off-site retreat, it means nobody gets lost. For a fishing charter, it means customers find the right dock — not the wrong marina two miles away. For a rec league, it means parents get to the right field out of seven fields at the same complex.
Add the address once, when you create the event. Everyone has it. Always.
Works for everyone. Including the people in your group who “aren't good with technology.”
Every group has them. The member who won't download another app. The volunteer who only checks email. The customer who's never heard of Google Calendar. The retiree who just wants to know when the next meeting is.
ClanCal was designed to be as simple as possible for the people receiving the calendar — not just the person creating it.
Sharing is an invite link or a direct invitation. Recipients can view the calendar on any device, in any browser, without needing to create an account just to see the schedule.
The coordinator does the setup once. Everyone else just shows up.
One view. Every sub-group. No confusion.
If you're running a church with four active ministries, a rec league with eight teams, or a yacht club with a racing schedule and a social calendar — you know the problem. One calendar for everything becomes unreadable. Separate calendars for everything means nothing stays coordinated.
ClanCal color-codes events by group or sub-group so a single calendar view stays readable even when it's full. The choir schedule is blue. The youth group is green. The facilities calendar is gray. At a glance, the administrator sees everything. Each ministry sees their color and knows what's theirs.
Free to start. No ads. No catch.
Most groups don't have a technology budget. The church secretary isn't going to expense a $15/month calendar app. The fishing boat captain isn't looking for a SaaS subscription. The scout troop leader is already buying supplies out of pocket.
ClanCal is free to start — no credit card required, no trial period that expires. The features that matter most to groups are available without paying anything.
And there are no ads. Your congregation isn't going to open the church calendar and see an ad for a competing megachurch down the road. Your fishing customers aren't going to see ads for a competitor's charter service.
Your group's calendar is for your group. That's it.
ClanCal works for any group that runs on a shared schedule.
ClanCal was built for families — but the problem it solves isn't unique to families. Any group that needs to coordinate around a calendar, share events with people outside their household, and stop relying on one person to be the human reminder system — that's a ClanCal group.
Churches & Faith Communities
Managing a congregation calendar means juggling Sunday services, weekly ministries, seasonal events, outreach programs, and facilities bookings — often across a volunteer team that turns over every year. ClanCal gives church administrators a single shared calendar that different ministries can see and update without stepping on each other. Members get reminders for upcoming services and events automatically. The bulletin becomes a backup, not the primary communication channel.
Best for: churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, small faith communities, ministry teams
Fishing Charters & Boat Captains
Charter captains deal with a specific scheduling problem no general app was ever designed for: a booking calendar that customers need read access to, a private operational schedule that they don't, and the constant stream of “is the trip still on?” texts that eat up every morning. ClanCal solves the customer-facing piece — publish your trip schedule, let customers see upcoming availability, and send automatic reminders before departure day. No more confirmation text at 5am.
Best for: fishing charters, whale watching tours, sailing charters, dive operators, boat rental businesses
Rec Leagues & Youth Sports Organizations
A rec league director managing 8–16 teams across multiple fields knows the problem: one master schedule, a dozen team schedules, parents who will only look at their own kid's games, and a website PDF that's always two weeks out of date. ClanCal gives the director one place to manage the full schedule, gives each team their own color-coded view, and sends parents automatic reminders before game day. No more “what field are we on?” calls at 8:45am Saturday.
Best for: rec soccer, baseball, softball, basketball, lacrosse, volleyball leagues, youth sports organizations
Scout Troops & Youth Organizations
Scout troop coordinators are running a full event calendar — badge activities, camping trips, community service, fundraisers, parent meetings — with a volunteer leadership team and parents who range from highly engaged to barely reachable. ClanCal gives the troop a shared calendar parents can actually check, with reminders that don't require them to remember to look at the website. Leaders get their own view. Parents get theirs.
Best for: Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, 4-H clubs, youth groups, youth ministry programs
Friend Groups & Social Circles
Someone in your friend group has been coordinating everything for years. They send the “who's free this weekend?” text every Thursday. They make the reservation. They send the reminder. They follow up when half the group hasn't responded. ClanCal gives that person a home base — a shared calendar where plans are set, reminders go out automatically, and everyone knows what's happening without a 47-message thread to get there.
Best for: friend groups, couples groups, book clubs, dinner clubs, poker nights, golf groups, monthly get-togethers of any kind
Volunteer Organizations & Civic Groups
Volunteer fire companies, community boards, homeowner associations, fraternal organizations, and civic clubs all share the same scheduling problem: a core group of dedicated members who know everything, and a broader membership that only shows up when they remember to. ClanCal closes that gap — a shared calendar with automatic reminders means the members who are slightly less plugged in still show up when it matters.
Best for: volunteer fire companies, HOAs, civic associations, Rotary clubs, Lions clubs, VFW posts, community boards
Small Businesses with Shared Schedules
A small restaurant with a rotating staff schedule, a cleaning company coordinating crews, a landscaping business managing job sites, a tutoring center with multiple instructors — these businesses share a scheduling problem: employees need to know when and where they work, and the person managing the schedule needs everyone to see changes the moment they're made. ClanCal works here too — shared visibility, instant sync, and reminders that actually reach people.
Best for: small hospitality businesses, service businesses with field teams, tutoring centers, boutique fitness studios, small retail with rotating staff
