Up Next - See and join your meetings right from your Mac menu bar 👀

by
Top Hunter

Up Next is a macOS menu bar app that shows your next meeting at a glance. Even better, it's integrated with Google Meet so you can join meetings with ⌘J, or join directly into presenter mode with ⇧⌘J. Up Next is a great tool to stay on top of your day and meetings.

Really great idea! Any thoughts of integrating with other "meeting places" like gotomeeting or Zoom? I mean, Google Meet is the best but sometimes I don't get to pick the place :)
Jeremy Bauer
@taylorbarr Yeah, if this worked with Zoom I’d be super happy 🏆

Super clever idea -- very useful for some of us who are chronical calendar checkers! 🤪

This is great! Any plans for a 'compact' mode? Working on my 12" MacBook, with a few icons up there already, it tends to get cut off by the current app's menu items.

@brendonrell Title truncation will be in the next version!

It installs and then when I try and open nothing happens. Help?

@keithbarney Hey Keith! Under "Calendar" you can select the calendar/account you want to use. You can add an account via Calendar app > Accounts.

@ellenli I honestly don't know what I did but it's working now ha. Is there a way to have it pull from all my calendars? I'd like to view upcoming work and personal appointments.

@keithbarney Not yet. But it's definitely one of our next features. 😉

This looks cool, but I have multiple calendars with the same names. So when I pick a calendar with said name it just chooses the first one in the list with that name, not the one I actually picked.

How would you describe the differences between this and Next Meeting. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/...

@stephen_thomas Hey, great question. I've actually asked the developer of Next Meeting if I could contribute but I'm not sure if Next Meeting going through any more active development. That being said, Next Meeting and Up Next are very similar in that they both pull/show meetings! The difference is that Up Next also integrates with Google Meet (and other platforms soon) so that you can join meetings with one click/shortcut. I'm also actively looking to improve the app so I'm all ears for feedback and suggestions!

So nice! I was using Next Meeting before but I found that was too limited. Do you have plans to add support for multiple calendars?

@jeffreydgroot Thanks, and yup, I'm working on it!
