07:30  The shift
The shift

Most tools wait for you to feed them. Cadence turns up knowing your day.

A to-do app starts each morning empty. You type the day in, then work around it. Cadence reads your calendar, finds the gaps and books time for the work that matters. When you sit down, your meetings have prep notes, your focus blocks are in your calendar and the first task is waiting.

Most tools
  • Wait for you to open them.
  • Ask you to type the day in.
  • Forget what you promised last week.
  • Let any meeting overwrite your focus time.
Cadence
  • Reads your calendar and sets the day up around it.
  • Writes focus blocks into Outlook or Google, where colleagues can see them.
  • Tracks what you promised, and what other people owe you.
  • Tells your Mac and iPhone when you are in focus, so they go quiet.

A task list, a calendar and an AI chat each do part of the job. Cadence joins them up.

Cadence plans from your calendar, books the time, puts the right work inside each focus block and keeps a record of what you promised. It carries on in the background when you stop looking.

Useful on day one. No set-up weekend.

Connect your calendar and sign in. Cadence reads the week you have, finds the time you already try to protect and starts guarding it the same day.

01

Cadence finds focus time in your calendar, writes it back as real blocks and checks it again every few hours as meetings move.

02

Your meetings get a prep note before they start: who is coming, what you last agreed and what is still open.

03

Your morning brief arrives at the time you choose, with the day's plan and anything at risk.

04

Anything you capture by voice, photo, share sheet or keyboard lands in one list, ready to slot into the day.

Connect Claude or ChatGPT and set a morning task, and your AI reads your inbox into Cadence before you start. Set it up in Claude.

The details
The details

Two details most tools miss.

You can judge a planning tool by how it handles an awkward calendar. Here are two cases we took the time to get right.

01 · Calendar intelligence

Cadence knows whose leave is whose.

If you manage people, you are on every leave invite they send. Most calendar tools see "Annual leave" and decide you are off, so they stop planning your day. Cadence checks who organised the event and tells your leave apart from your team's. Your focus time stays in place.

# incoming leave invite
organizer.self: false
attendee: "David Chen"
→ team member's leave. Focus kept.
02 · Time discipline

Your focus blocks keep your time of day.

Book 12:30 for deep work and it stays at 12:30, whether you are in London, Boston or Singapore, and through the clock change in March. Cadence stores each block in your own timezone, so your week holds its shape when you travel.

Singapore → 12:30
Boston → 12:30
London +1wk (DST) → 12:30
13:30  What matters
What matters this year

Your priorities for the year, visible in today's first task.

A plan rarely fails on the day you write it. It fails over the following weeks, as other people's priorities fill your calendar. Cadence links each piece of work to the goal it serves, so you spot the drift in week two, while you can still fix it.

  • 01

    Name three or four priorities for the year, in your own words.

  • 02

    Link each task to one of them, or Cadence marks it as unaligned.

  • 03

    Each week, see where your time went against where you said it would go.

15:00  How it works
How it works

A daily rhythm you can keep.

01

Close today and tomorrow is set up.

At the end of the day, tick off what you finished. Cadence carries the rest forward, plans tomorrow around your meetings and protects the focus time the work needs. It takes two minutes.

02

Start with the brief.

Your morning brief lands at the time you choose. Open Cadence on any screen and the first focus block is ready with the work inside it. If you have an EA, they can adjust the plan before you read it.

03

Focus, then move on.

Start a block and your Mac and iPhone go quiet while a timer runs the session. Complete or defer each task with one tap, and Cadence reshuffles the rest of your day around what changed.

16:30  Works with your AI
Works with your AI

Your AI does the thinking. Cadence keeps the record and runs your calendar.

Cadence has AI built in for planning and meeting prep, so it works on its own. If you already pay for Claude or ChatGPT, connect it and the two share one picture of your week.

Cadence

Your plan, focus blocks, commitments, decisions and the record of what you did. It keeps working in the background while you get on with the day.

Your AI

Claude or ChatGPT reads your inbox, sent items and meeting notes, drafts and summarises, then writes what it finds into Cadence. You keep the AI you already use.

MCP

The open standard that connects the two. Claude and ChatGPT support it today. Your data stays in your own systems.

The full security and data architecture is on the Trust page, ready for your IT team to review.

Frequently asked
FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

What is Cadence?
Cadence plans your day around your calendar, protects your focus time and keeps track of what you have promised. It runs in any browser, with native apps for Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
Who is Cadence for?
Anyone whose calendar fills faster than they can manage it. Plenty of people use it on their own. Leaders add yearly priorities, decisions and delegation. If you have an EA or Chief of Staff, their seat is free and they get a workspace to run the day with you.
Do I need an assistant to use it?
No. Cadence works for one person from the first day, and the Personal plan costs £10 a month, or £8 a month billed annually (£96 a year). If you have an EA, their seat is free on Starter and above.
How is Cadence different from Todoist, Asana or Notion?
Those tools hold a list you keep up to date. Cadence starts from your calendar, gives your work real time slots, and defends them when meetings move.
How is it different from asking Claude or ChatGPT?
Your AI answers when you ask it something. Cadence keeps a record across weeks, writes focus blocks into your calendar and works in the background without a prompt. The two work well together: connect your AI and it can read from and write to Cadence.
Does Cadence read my email?
Not on its own. Cadence connects to your calendar. To turn email into work items, connect Claude or ChatGPT. Your AI reads your inbox with your permission and writes what it finds into Cadence.
Which AI tools does it work with?
Claude, on paid plans. ChatGPT on Business and Enterprise plans, once an admin turns on custom connectors. Without either of them, Cadence's built-in AI still plans your day and prepares your meetings.
Is my data secure?
Cadence runs on Microsoft Azure in West Europe. Each organisation's data is kept separate, sign-in uses multi-factor authentication, and data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Sovereign hosting is available. SOC 2 Type II is in progress. The Trust page has the detail.
Which calendars do you support?
Microsoft 365, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and anything that publishes an ICS feed. You can connect several at once. Cadence reads them all and writes focus blocks back to Outlook and Google. ICS feeds are read-only.
Does Cadence work on Windows?
Yes. There is a native Windows app, and the full product also runs in any modern browser at app.stratiumhq.com, so Linux works too. Native apps are available for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch as well.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan includes a 14 day free trial with full access to that tier. We take card details at signup so the service carries on if you stay. Nothing is charged until day 15, and you can cancel before then in one click.
