I use Clockwise for managing my calendar. It's quite convenient if you are a manager because it can handle all your flexible meetings (aka 1:1s) even without everyone on board at your company using it. Definitely recommend it.

+1 for Clockwise, it does a great job of automating this. It easily doubled my team's work time ("focus time" in Clockwise).

It also has useful preferences like "prefer morning/afternoon", "no meeting days", which it takes into account when scheduling.

I can't say enough good things about it. It's free at first but I would pay almost any money to keep it, the value of the extra time it gives you is enormous.

Clockwise is excellent and pretty much purpose-built for this problem.

I loved Clockwise but unfortunately not allowed to use it at my workplace anymore. If you can use it do so! It is the best personal assistant I had in ages!

What does it cost? I see “get started for free,” but that doesn’t tell me how they make money.
