About Harmonise

Harmonise was built by two people who wanted a little more control over our lives.

We tried sharing a calendar, creating a shared to-do list, and asking each other when we were free to meet.

It worked, technically.

It just did not work very well together.

So we started building the planning tool we wanted to use ourselves.

How it started

The tools worked. The plan did not.

Calendars held our commitments. Task lists held what still needed to happen. Messages held the conversation about when we could do it.

Each tool did its part. What we could not see was one realistic view of the time already taken, the work still waiting, and the moments when both of us were actually free.

Building Harmonise began with that missing view—not a plan to replace every tool we had.

The foundation

The calendar is the starting point.

Time is the common thread between events, tasks, availability, and scheduling.

Harmonise starts with the calendar, then brings the rest of the plan closer to it.

Calendar context

The time already committed.

  • Events
  • Tasks
  • Availability
  • Scheduling

Everyday planning

Fewer tabs. Fewer lists. Fewer “when are you free?” messages.

The problems were ordinary. That was the point.

  1. 01

    Tasks should account for the time already taken.

    A useful task list needs the context of the calendar it has to fit around.

  2. 02

    Booking should not reveal a private calendar.

    Someone can see when you are available without seeing why the rest of your time is busy.

  3. 03

    Finding a meeting time should not require a group chat and a spreadsheet.

    Shared availability should be enough to find a time that works.

These are small problems until they happen every day.

A focused first version

We are keeping the first version focused.

Harmonise is being built around the parts of planning that need shared time context most.

What it brings together

  • Calendars
  • Events
  • Tasks
  • Availability Links
  • Find Best Time
  • Web and mobile
  • Offline access and synchronisation

How we make decisions

We want Harmonise to stay understandable.

The goal is not to add every possible planning feature. It is to make the important ones work together without turning planning into another job.

Calendar first

Time is the shared context for events, tasks, availability, and scheduling.

Clear before clever

The plan should be easy to read before it tries to do anything more ambitious.

Connected, not crowded

Important planning tools should work together without competing for attention.

Honest about what exists

We describe the product we have, and mark work that is still to come.
