Close calendar sync gaps
When you sync availability via iCal, small gaps and blind spots appear. unbooked detects bookable windows and matches them to guests who saved those exact dates—without price drops.
The problem: sync creates gaps nobody sees
iCal sync is not real-time. Add minimum-stay rules and fixed arrival/departure patterns—and you get 1–4-night windows.
Those windows matter financially, but they rarely get found: guests search for exact dates, not "available sometime".
How unbooked closes calendar sync gaps systematically
Read iCal availability and detect windows
unbooked reads your iCal calendars and identifies free windows that are realistically bookable.
Match guests by saved dates
Guests save exact arrival and departure dates. When your window fits, they get notified—without needing to search again.
Keep control: same pricing, same rules
You decide price and booking. unbooked is not a channel manager—it’s a matching layer.
Benefits for iCal and sync setups
More bookings from existing calendars—without daily manual tweaks.
- Close sync gaps without being forced into discounting
- Less manual checking for leftover nights
- More date-specific enquiries and fewer vague messages
- Works alongside your existing platforms (via iCal)
- More stable occupancy without extra tooling overhead

Ideal for
When you use iCal—and gaps still appear.
Hosts syncing across platforms
If you synchronize multiple calendars, matching reduces typical blind spots and wasted windows.
Listings with minimum-stay rules
If rules create small windows, matching reaches the right 2–4 night date searches.
Solo hosts without a channel manager
If you want a lightweight setup, you get a focused matching layer—not a full stack.
Close sync gaps before they cost revenue
Connect your calendar and route each window to matching demand automatically.
