[Need a little help?](https://meetinterval.com/support) **What is Interval?** Interval is a native Mac meeting companion. It shows upcoming meetings, countdowns to starts and endings, reminders and overlap warnings in a small panel at the screen edge. It helps you keep track of your schedule. Manual notes are available when you need them. **Does it work with my calendar?** Interval works with calendars available through Apple Calendar, with your permission. Supported meeting links let you jump into your call from the app. **Does Interval work with Google Calendar or Outlook?** Interval doesn’t have its own Google or Outlook sign-in. It reads the calendars macOS makes available in Apple Calendar, so if your Google or Outlook account’s events appear in Apple Calendar on your Mac, you can select those calendars in Interval. Check your events there first. [Read the calendar setup guide](https://meetinterval.com/guides/apple-calendar-meeting-timer) . **Which video call links does Interval support?** Interval recognises supported Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and FaceTime links in a meeting’s event details. The join action opens the link and the call service takes it from there. **Does Interval change my calendar?** No. Interval reads the calendars you select and never edits events or invitations. Adding five minutes only extends your personal timer; the calendar invitation stays unchanged. **Does Interval record or transcribe meetings?** Public Mac 1.0 supports manual notes. Mac 1.1 is pending Apple review and release; it is not yet available from the App Store or website. The Mac 1.1 update adds opt-in microphone and Mac audio recording, on-device transcription and recoverable local drafts. Generated draft notes require supported Apple Intelligence hardware, language and settings; you can keep the transcript without it. Recording never starts automatically. Grant microphone and Screen & System Audio Recording permission, and let everyone know before you record. Mac audio can include other apps and notifications; no screen images are saved. Review the draft before adding it to your meeting notes. Saved notes can sync through iCloud if enabled; recording files stay local. See the [recording privacy details](https://meetinterval.com/privacy#recording) . **Can I move the panel?** Yes. Slide Interval around the left, right, top or bottom edge of your Mac’s screen. The panel stays upright, and it folds into a compact timer when you want more space. **When can I get Interval?** The website version is available now with lifetime access for £15.99, paid once. Download Interval after payment is confirmed. Interval requires macOS 26 or later. It is also available on the Mac App Store. **Is Interval free?** Website lifetime access is a one-time £15.99 purchase, with no monthly or annual renewal.
