It's the one conversation of the week where someone can say “I'm thinking about leaving” — and a recording makes that sentence impossible to say out loud.
CadenceOne is a private, on-device space to prepare, run and follow up on one-to-ones. Nothing slips between meetings, and nothing leaves your Mac.

The ritual, handled
Everything a 1-to-1 needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Prepare in 30 seconds
Every open action, past decision, and unfinished thread from last time — surfaced automatically before you walk in.
Agenda you tick off
Turn topics into a live checklist. Green checks show what's covered so no point is ever forgotten.
Private vs. shareable
Keep candid notes to yourself. Mark what's shareable — and only that reaches your teammate.
Meeting mode
A distraction-free full-screen view with a timer, quick actions, decisions, and wins as you talk.
One-click follow-up
A clean summary email — decisions, next steps, owners, due dates — drafted for you, ready in Mail.
Actions that don't slip
Their tasks and your commitments tracked together, with overdue items front and center.
Signature feature
See every point, check it off live.
The agenda isn't a static list — it's a checklist you work through together. Each topic gets a green check the moment it's covered, and the progress bar keeps you honest on time.

Every other tool wants to record the meeting. We refuse.
Auto-transcription turns a 1-to-1 into an interview with a record. The moment your report knows it's being captured, the honest half of the conversation stops. CadenceOne has no microphone access, no transcript, no cloud and no account — the candid things you write about your people never leave your machine.
Local-only, always
Notes stay in a sandboxed container on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded, ever.
Private means private
Private notes are never emailed, exported, or shown in notifications.
Locks with Touch ID
Auto-lock after idle, so a shared screen never reveals a topic.
Your data is yours: export everything to JSON, or delete it all, in one click.
Simple pricing
Pay once. Own it.
No subscription for a tool you open twice a week. Buy it, keep it.
Free trial
14 days
Everything unlocked from the first launch. Nothing to sign up for, no card, no email — the app never asks who you are.
