Why the menu bar helps: capture is available at the moment a promise appears, without turning a quick thought into a visit to a full task dashboard.
Capture first, schedule second
When a task appears during focused work, the first goal is to save it before it disappears. Cadence gives the thought somewhere to land, then lets you place it on a day when you review the week.
Why this is different from an inbox
An inbox is useful for collecting, but it can become a second list of things you never decide about. Cadence connects quick capture to a week-shaped board so the task eventually meets a day.
Built for desktop rhythm
Menu-bar quick-add, keyboard shortcuts and a native window make Cadence fit around Mac work. It is a focused companion to the main board, not another browser tab to keep alive.
