Cal Updated To v1.1 With New "HeadsUp" Feature To Bring Meeting-Focused Settings And Functionality To Your Calendar

Cal comes from the makers of Any.do, and it's got the same level of polish and functionality users of that app expect. Cal is getting a nice update today that adds a new feature called HeadsUp. This is actually a collection of features that are designed to make meetings more convenient.

   

HeadsUp is built into Cal and will pop up a special settings screen before, during, and after a meeting. Here's what you'll get on each one of them.

Before a meeting:

• Navigate your way with Google maps
• Let participants know you’re running late
• Get an Uber and arrive on time
• Email a message to the invitees

During a meeting:

• Mute your phone to avoid interruptions
• Add tasks as they come up in conversation
• Take photos of white board drawings, diagrams, documents to share with everyone
• Record video or audio of what’s being discussed
• Send a summary email to the group

After a meeting:

• Add or send action items to your peers
• Set Follow-up meetings with everyone involved
• Send an email summary to get everyone on the same page

It seems like a robust new tool. It's not strictly a meeting tool – you could make use of a lot of this for other, less business-y events. Cal is free, so take a peek if you're into it. The update with HeadsUp is already live in Google Play.
