What it is

Cadence is a web app for syncing multiple calendars. Its goal is to bring personal, work, school, family, and shared calendars into one synchronized setup, reducing double bookings, missed meetings, and scheduling conflicts. It does not require users to download a new calendar client; instead, it connects to existing Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar accounts and uses rules to sync events into the calendars users specify.

Core features

Cadence is built around “sync rules + privacy controls.” It supports real-time event syncing, so new events, edits, and deletions in a calendar are reflected across connected accounts. Sync modes include one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, as well as one-way or two-way sync. Smart Rules let users define how calendars interact, including priorities, filters, visibility, and excluding specific events. For privacy, Event Masking can replace real event titles with custom labels; Private Event can show only Busy; color coding is also supported to help distinguish work, personal, and shared schedules.

Pricing and plans

Cadence uses a freemium model. The Basic free plan supports up to 2 calendar accounts, unlimited event syncing, 1 Smart Rule, event masking, private events, color coding, event filtering, and standard support. Essential costs $10/month, increasing the limit to up to 4 accounts and 4 rules, with priority support. Pro costs $20/month and supports up to 10 accounts and 10 rules. Annual billing includes a 20% discount. Overall, the pricing is friendly for individuals and small teams, but whether it is sufficient for more complex organizations depends on the number of accounts and rules required.

Pros and cons

The strengths are its clear positioning, simple setup flow, and a free plan that is not overly limited, especially for users who rely on both Google and Outlook. Smart Rules and event masking address the most common conflict and privacy issues when syncing work and personal calendars. The drawbacks are also clear: public materials do not disclose the company’s country, payment methods, compliance certifications, API, Webhook, or self-hosting options. There is also no clear information on enterprise-grade capabilities such as team permissions, audit logs, or admin controls. Placeholder text appears in the terms of service as well, which suggests the maturity of the documentation should be evaluated cautiously.

Who it is for and access from China

Cadence is better suited to individual professionals, small business owners, teachers, founders, and lightweight teams that need to consolidate multiple calendar accounts while hiding sensitive information. Access from China is unknown; however, because it depends on overseas services such as Google Calendar and Outlook, the domestic network environment and account availability may affect the experience. If your work is mainly based in China, it may be better to first compare Feishu Calendar, WeCom schedules, and DingTalk schedules. If you use an overseas collaboration stack, alternatives to compare include OneCal, Reclaim.ai, Clockwise, and Calendly.
