Motion (YC W20) is what you are looking for.

    - Connect multiple calendars which have fixed events ("Pick up Hana at 7PM")
    - Add tasks which are automatically rescheduled and rearranged around this fixed events ("Call mom and check in")
    - Create booking links to let others schedule time.  The interface for this is way better than Calendly

Disclaimer: I worked there for a bit.

I think I'll pass.

Huh... I know about deidentifying, but what does it mean to de-deidentify?

it means there was a typo

It makes you think, how much effort have they really put into this policy?

Yeah - if you didn't have a lawyer take a look at the policy, what was the point of even putting the policy up there? and if you did have a lawyer look at it and they didn't catch it - get rid of that lawyer lol

I don't think you'll find a service like this without similar terms/policies, unfortunately.

To make the backend work with the auto-scheduling requires that the system knows some personalized heuristics on how to move tasks around. And for that to work means that it'll need to aggregate that data.

I’m wondering, is on-device processing not in the realm of possibility for this space?

Looks very interesting but I would not try something without standard email + password sign up

I went one step further but "enter your card number to start your 7-day free trial period" did it...
