We're building the part of work you never wanted to do.

Why we exist

Time is the one thing you can't make more of — and most of it disappears into the work about the work. Emails to find a slot. Briefs no one reads. Follow-ups no one sends. Routing the work to the right person, then waiting.

We're building the assistant that absorbs all of that, so the hours go back to the people they were taken from. Not a productivity tool. A way to be present in your own life.

If we do this right, every person we serve gets a piece of their week back — to spend on family, craft, rest, or the work that actually moves their life forward. That's the point. Scale that across teams and industries and you're measuring it in years.

The thesis

Knowledge workers send an average of eight emails to lock in a single meeting. Executives spend twenty-three hours a week in meetings. Most of that isn't the work — it's the work about the work. Scheduling, confirming, prepping, summarizing, following up, routing it to the right person.

We didn't build a scheduling tool. Scheduling is one verb in a longer sentence. We built an assistant that knows what you'd choose, picks it for you, prepares you for it, and follows through after — across the twelve industries we ship copy and templates for.

An extension of you, not a tool you use

Most software wants more of your attention. SynQUS wants less. The product gets better the more you use it because its core mechanic — the Preference Learner — picks up your rhythm: who you say yes to, how you spend your mornings, which kinds of meetings you batch versus space out. Two weeks in, it stops asking and starts deciding.

That's the moat. It's not a calendar with better widgets. It's a thing that runs the parts of your week you never wanted to play.

Where we are today

SynQUS ships across three streams — Personal, Small Business, and Enterprise — with twelve industry verticals on top (healthcare, law, sales, recruiting, real estate, fintech, consulting, beauty, fitness, tutoring, creator, and personal). Each vertical reshapes the categories, intake fields, prep briefs, and invite copy to speak the language of that industry.

The product is operated from Canada. The team is small and focused. We don't have a corporate "About Us" page full of stock photos and leadership bios — we're not at that stage yet, and we'd rather wait until those things are real than publish them as marketing.

What we won't do

We don't sell personal information to advertisers. We don't use your calendar content to train models for anyone outside your own account. We don't fabricate testimonials or user counts to look bigger than we are. We don't promise compliance certifications we don't have — when we earn them we'll list them on the Enterprise section of the landing.

See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for the specifics.

What we stand for

We're early. Most of what's on this list is intent, not achievement. We're publishing it so we're accountable to it as we grow.

• Respect for timePeople's time is the only non-renewable thing they have. Every product decision we make has to honor that — small wait, small click, small ask. If something costs the user a minute, the feature better save them ten.
• Honest softwareNo dark patterns. No fake urgency. No surprise charges. Cancel in two clicks; we'll keep your data available for export if you change your mind. Plain-language pricing, plain-language errors, plain-language receipts.
• Privacy by defaultWe collect what we need to run the service and nothing more. We don't sell personal information to advertisers. We don't train models on your calendar content for anyone outside your account. The Privacy Policy spells out the specifics.
• Operate responsiblyAs we grow we intend to make sustainability-aware infrastructure choices — favor providers with cleaner energy mixes, minimize compute waste, measure what we use. We'll publish what we measure and be transparent when we fall short. Not a badge claim. A direction.
• Give backProfitable companies owe something to the communities and natural systems they grow inside. As soon as we're sustainable, regular giving — local causes, environmental work, open-source maintenance — will be part of how we operate, not a marketing line. We'll publish what we give and to whom.

A note from the founder

I started SynQUS because I lost too many evenings to scheduling and prep work that nobody — including me — wanted me to be doing. The tools that exist treat this as a feature problem. I think it's a respect problem. People's time is the only non-renewable thing they have, and most software acts as if there's an infinite supply of it.

If you're using SynQUS, thank you. If you have feedback — what we got right, what we got wrong, what you wish we did — write me at hello@synqus.ca. I read everything.
