Reclaim Your Time: Daily Free Slot Discovery
Every morning, Notis scans your calendar and tells you exactly when you're free. You see available time before reactive work fills it up.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Find free slots
Finds free/busy time slots in google calendars for specified calendars within a defined time range (defaults to the current day utc if `time min`/`time max` are omitted), enhancing busy intervals with event details; `time min` must precede `time max` if both are provided.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders often lose focus time because they don't realize they're free until the day is almost over. By then, reactive work has already claimed all available slots.
- Proactively identifies free time before reactive work fills it
- Enables intentional scheduling of focus work each day
- Provides a daily snapshot of your calendar capacity
- Supports ADHD-friendly work by surfacing available time upfront
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Daily Free Slot Report'.
- 3Set the prompt: 'Every weekday at 8am, check my calendar for free slots (blocks of 1+ hours with no events) and send me a report of available times so I can schedule focused work.'
- 4Select trigger: 'Daily Schedule' (Notis cron, weekday mornings).
- 5Choose your notification channel (Slack, email, or Telegram preferred for daily reports).
- 6Enable and let it run for a week—you'll get daily reports of your available focus windows.
Questions about this workflow
Should this report free slots every day or just on days I ask?
By default, it's daily at a set time (e.g., 8am). You can make it weekly or on-demand instead by adjusting your trigger: 'Every Monday at 8am' or 'Only when I ask'.
How does it define 'free time'?
You can customize: 'Find blocks of 2+ hours', 'Find blocks of 30+ minutes', or 'Find any gaps bigger than 15 minutes' depending on your needs.
Will this include time on my out-of-office calendar?
By default, Notis skips events marked as out-of-office or all-day blocks. You can customize this if you want to see all free time regardless.
