For macOS · Works with Google Calendar

Your day, at a glance.

Cadence is a fast, keyboard-first calendar for Mac. Type a meeting the way you'd say it, get a briefing on your day each morning, and ask your calendar anything.

Free. Currently in private testing.

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

Built for people whose day is back-to-back meetings across more than one Google account.

⌘K

Natural-language quick add

"Call with Priya Thursday 4pm for 30 min /work" becomes an event, with invitees found in your directory and conflicts shown as you type.

☀︎

Morning briefing

A short read on your day: who you're meeting, what's changed, and prep notes drawn from recent emails.

⌘J

Ask your calendar

"When am I free for 90 minutes on Thursday?" or "How much time did I spend on sales last month?"

Where your time goes

Meetings are sorted into categories like Sales, Ops and Deep work, with a weekly report on how your hours were spent.

Every view, every account

Day, week, month, quarter and year views, calendar sets, a menu-bar mini calendar, and several Google accounts side by side.

Plan next week

Cadence spots your recurring meetings and suggests times for them around what's already booked.

Why Cadence asks for Google access

Cadence signs in with Google so it can show and manage your calendar. Each permission has one job:

  • CalendarShow your events, and create, edit or RSVP to the ones you choose.
  • TasksShow your Google Tasks alongside your events.
  • DirectoryFind colleagues by name when you invite them.
  • RoomsList your organisation's meeting rooms.
  • Gmail (optional)Read-only. Links recent emails to upcoming meetings in your briefing. Only on if you turn it on.

Our promise

  • Your data stays on your Mac. Cadence has no server and we never see it.
  • Your Google sign-in is kept in the macOS Keychain.
  • No ads, analytics or tracking. Your data is never sold or shared.
  • AI features run on Apple's on-device model, or on Claude or ChatGPT using your own API key, and only when you turn them on.
  • Disconnect any time in Settings or at Google Account permissions.

Cadence's use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Read the full Privacy Policy.
