So good to share early access with PH today. Thanks, Garry! Everyone who signs up at cron.com in the next 24 hours will get an invite. The only way you pay for now is with feedback, hope that sounds fair! I can't wait to hear what you think.
We started Cron after a friend and I hacked a calendar extension together to be more productive and intentional with our time.
As productivity nerds, we're all using calendar workarounds, extensions, and additional services to get closer to a modern calendaring experience — to schedule meetings, plan tasks, take notes, block time, and track activities. Cron reimagines the calendar for the modern age and brings it all together.
We're just getting started building powerful workflows and expanding to more platforms. We've been iterating with early users daily and shipping features weekly. People at companies like Notion, Figma, and Loom already use Cron as their default calendar. I'm super excited for you to try it!
AMA! I'm around :)
Cron instantly became my default calendar. I have it open all day, every day. The menu bar calendar alone saves me hundreds of clicks. For those who already have access, what do you think? For those who are currently in line, what feature are you most excited about?
P.S. I did a 20 minute design masterclass with Raphael, one of the creators of Cron, where we go into detail on how he sanded down the edges. He's one of the best designers I have ever met.
We led the seed round alongside co-investors like Jeff Weiner of LinkedIn and Dylan Field of Figma.
I was one of Cron's first users when @raphaelschaad was in the YC W20 batch! I clearly remember him onboarding me sitting at a table in the YC office. I have used it every day since.
Glad it's now available to more more folks!
@daltonc Thanks much, Dalton! Y Combinator office San Francisco, circa. February 2020!
For anyone who wants to create something, build a product, a company, I highly recommend YC. It's second to none.
I’ve been using Cron for a few months and I’m never going back to google calendar.
It’s intuitive, efficient and has so many brilliant UX details that add up to make it an outstanding product. It’s made managing my calendar so efficient and painless, and on top of that, it’s beautifully designed.
@guilherme_salgueiro2 Thanks much! We love shaping Cron with and for our users and earn to be your default calendar. For something like calendar that you have open all day, a superior experience really adds up.
Re iOS: Totally, we're so excited what we're doing on mobile. Stay tuned!
I've been using Cron for the last week, and WOW. I've been blown away. I've tried dozens of calendars and apps to manage my crazy time zones and meeting schedule. Cron is powerful - easy to use (especially if you're using command bar apps).
I am hooked. Try it, and it will make a positive difference. Can't wait for the mobile app experience.
They NAILED sending meeting timeslots to people. Super nice - that feature alone is a game changer for me.
Thanks Raphael, Erik, and the team.
@eriksonkuebler damn. Enough said. I emailed the team about an idea - 30 mins later it was deployed to production (and they nailed the design/useability)
10/10 - Upvote twice.
I've been using Cron for the past 6 months and absolutely adore it! It's impossible to convey in screenshots or words how great it feels to use. Other than the general 10x improvements to UX of calendars, my favorite feature is probably the optional global "join zoom" keyboard shortcut for quickly joining back to back meeting!
I couldn't imagine ever going back to the google calendar app at this point.
