Why LookOut?
Because checking two calendars every morning shouldn't be part of anyone's workflow.
Born from frustration
If your company uses Microsoft 365 but you prefer Google Calendar, you know the pain. Work meetings live in Outlook. Personal events live in GCal. You end up checking both — and still miss things.
Existing sync tools give you titles and times. That's it. No attendees. No Teams links. No meeting descriptions. You're left with a shadow calendar that's missing half the information you need.
LookOut was built to fix this. It reads the rich data that Outlook Web already shows you — attendees, conference links, descriptions, categories — and syncs it all to Google Calendar. One calendar. Full picture.
Why local-first?
Calendar data is sensitive. It contains meeting titles, attendee lists, internal project names, and conference links. Sending that through a third-party server is a risk most people shouldn't have to take.
LookOut runs entirely inside your browser. It reads data from Outlook Web (which is already loaded in your tab) and writes directly to Google Calendar via their API. No intermediary servers. No data leaving your device. No tokens stored anywhere but Chrome's secure storage.
This also means it works in IT-restricted environments. If your company blocks third-party integrations, LookOut still works — because it doesn't make any outbound calls to our infrastructure.
Built by one person
LookOut is a solo project. No VC funding, no growth team, no dark patterns. Just a developer who got tired of checking two calendars and decided to build something better.
The Free plan covers the basics and always will. Pro exists to fund continued development — better sync, smarter rules, and features that make your calendar genuinely useful.
Open development
LookOut's source code is available on GitHub. You can inspect exactly what the extension does, report bugs, or suggest features.
Transparency isn't just a marketing claim — it's the architecture. When your data never leaves your browser, there's nothing to hide.
