Desktop calendar for Windows
TopDock puts Google Calendar and Outlook on a slim bar at the top of your Windows screen. The tile counts down to your next meeting, and one click joins the call. No browser tab to keep open, no calendar app to switch to.
On the bar, all day
A calendar tile shows the meeting that's on now or coming next: "Now · Standup", "in 12 min · Planning", or "No more meetings" when your day is done. Click it for today's meetings in order, with the current one highlighted.
No. Google makes Google Calendar apps for Android and iPhone, but not for Windows. On a PC you have four realistic options:
The first three are good for planning your week. TopDock is for the moment in between: knowing what's next without opening anything. Many people will use both: Google Calendar or Outlook to plan, TopDock to keep the day in view.
Pop-up reminders are easy to dismiss and easy to miss when you're sharing your screen. TopDock's reminder is the countdown itself: it sits on the bar all day, reserved like the taskbar so maximised windows never cover it. A glance tells you whether you have time for one more task or should wrap up now.
When a meeting has a Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex or Whereby link in its location or description, it gets a Join button. Open the tile and click Join, or press J to join the meeting that's on now or next. No more digging through the invite for the link two minutes after it started.
The calendar tile sits on the same bar as your Gmail and Outlook inboxes, X mentions and todo list. So "what's new" and "what's next" are both one glance away, and a meeting invite in your inbox can become a todo with a deadline in one key press.
Need week and month views, or to schedule meetings? Keep using Google Calendar or Outlook for that; TopDock deliberately stays small. Our comparison of Windows inbox apps covers the full clients too.
No. Google doesn't make a desktop Google Calendar app for Windows. You can use it in a browser tab, install calendar.google.com as an app from Chrome or Edge, add your Google account to the new Outlook for Windows, or add a TopDock calendar tile that shows your next meeting on the bar.
No. TopDock only reads your calendar (Google's read-only calendar permission, or Calendars.Read for Outlook). To create or move a meeting, use Google Calendar or Outlook as usual; the tile picks up the change within 10 minutes.
Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex and Whereby. TopDock finds the link in the meeting's location or description. With the panel open, J joins the meeting that's on now or next.
TopDock signs in through Microsoft's own sign-in page, so personal Outlook.com accounts work. Some companies only allow apps an admin has approved; if yours does, the Microsoft sign-in page will tell you.
Yes. Today's meetings are saved on your PC, so the tile keeps counting down and the panel still lists them without a connection.
