Compass Calendar

A simple calendar that helps you manage your time.

Why try compass?

You'll get more done

• The first-class shortcuts will make it a breeze to stay on top of your schedule.
• The minimal UI will help you focus on what matters: your events.
• The Google Calendar two-way sync will ensure you don't miss anything.

You'll get less done

• The life view shows your existance as a grid of dots. Seeing how few you have left may make you pause before scheduling more busy work.
• The absense of AI automation will keep unnecessary work out of your schedule.

It'll be around for the long-term

• We're bootstrapped. While VC-backed teams think in terms of months and funding rounds, we think in terms of decades and profit. We don't need to make $1B in 5 years or sell your data to an acquirer. As long as we keep users like you happy, we'll be fine.
• We have a plan. Our long-term vision will keep us busy for generations. Our practical roadmap and focus on profitability will keep our feet on the ground along the way.
