sync up

Get on schedule

Sync up means to coordinate or align with someone or something else.

People sync up their calendars to find meeting times, or sync up with colleagues to share information: Let's sync up after lunch.

The phrase comes from synchronize but feels more casual and collaborative—less about precise timing than about getting on the same page.
