  • Added push-based support for external calendars — After a long implementation phase, we are pleased to announce availability of our 'external calendar' support. MyTimetable is now able to offer push-based synchronisation to Microsoft Exchange, Office 365 and Google Calendar. Push-based synchronisation offers a more stable calendar integration than the iCalendar feeds, integrates well with the Exchange availability information when planning appointments and is really easy to set up for the user. Since this is a major new feature that also requires some infrastructure changes and set up on the Exchange/Google side, implementation of this feature is done on a per-customer basis and involves some additional consulting and support hours. Please contact us for details.

     Incremental sync — at the moment we only offer a daily 'full sync' of a timetable, but the final MyTimetable 3.0 build will also offer incremental synchronisation, where changes in the timetable will be synchronised almost instantly.
  • Pexip / conference integration — Together with Pexip, MyTimetable now offers the perfect distance learning solution. Virtual classrooms are automatically created from your timetable, and users are able to join the classroom with one click, from any device, everywhere. More details are available in this blogpost.


  • Dialogs redesign — The dialogs in the desktop interface have been redesigned and offer clearer feedback on success or failure. The event details dialog was also redesigned, and now includes the event type color and draft styling.
  • Introduced separate button for downloads and synchronisations — To further emphasise the difference between a one-time download and a constant synchronisation of your timetable, we have introduced separate buttons for downloads and synchronisations. Of course the buttons have a handy tooltip to assist the user in choosing the right option.
  • Selective-sync support —
