Mayday is pretty awesome. It has been a part of my daily workflow for a while. It started as a replacement for Sunrise, and it has evolved to something way more useful. Calendar Shield is surprisingly subtle and helpful -- it makes sure that my calendar is never jammed to the point of disaster. It just keeps my 4 work calendars, family and personal calendars working together for me. Being able to "sync" an event across all of the calendars has been a life saver. Thanks @jeremybell and the Mayday team, you make my life better.
Thanks for the shoutout @davidcrow - Calendar Shield and Synced events are definitely some of our most widely used features. Both of these are key to ensuring your time is protected for the things that matter to you. And by applying Synced event defaults with Smart Tags, Mayday can automatically ensure the availability that your calendars reflect is always up to date - without you having to think about it and while keeping the event details themselves private from those that only have access to some of your calendars.
Coming soon @tombarys! Outlook will be next, and Apple after that. Thanks for asking!
This looks like a great product. Excited to test it out! The part that really resonates with me is the ability to tell the AI my priorities (eg. find more time to do deep work) and the AI will help me keep my calendar on track, sort of like a personal assistant.
@tylerswartz Thank you! The framing around how AI will enable the calendar to in a sense become like a personal assistant is exactly in line with where we want to take the product with our next few releases (another PH launch in our future perhaps??). Our goal is to move beyond your calendar just serving as a dumb ledger of all the things you and others plan with your time. Today we can do that with intelligent suggestions on ideal times and with natural language processing on events that you're trying to create, but there's a lot of exciting stuff on our roadmap that we can't wait to share more on soon!
I'm impressed by this product and can't wait to give it a try! What I find particularly appealing is the feature that allows me to communicate my priorities to the AI, and the AI will assist me in managing my schedule, much like a personal assistant. Good luck with launch!
@malkielfalcone Thanks for the support! We're just getting started with what Mayday's AI can do but we're moving in the exact direction you mention - great insight. There's no reason for your calendar to just keep a record of what you spend time on, we're going to make it so your calendar IS your assistant.
@jeremybell I signed up and got a link for the app store... is there no windows app, or can I just use it from the browser?>
Hi @desi_saran – thanks for trying! Mayday is native software built with SwiftUI and currently only available on MacOS, iOS and iPadOS.
Proud investors in Mayday at Techstars Toronto! We are asking all of our founders to start using this now!
@michaelthegeek Thanks! If you're going spend most of your day in a single piece of software, it might as well be beautiful!
Very cool! Does it look at my teammates calendars to know when they're available and suggest a time? Or does it just suggest a time that works for me and I'd need to confirm availability with my teammate?
@britt_joiner Mayday suggests ideal times based on everyone's availability. When you schedule with your teammates, Mayday can layer their Google Calendar availability into those suggestions to suggest a time when everyone is at least free. But when your teammates happen to be other Mayday users, the ideal time suggestions become much more intelligent since the software can make predictions not only using the raw free/busy status, but also understanding your teammates preferences and patterns for scheduling different types of events.
I've been using Mayday for a little over a year and a half and it's been great. A few bugs and glitches in the early days, but that's to be expected. What I've appreciated most is how quickly the Mayday team fixes bugs and iterates on the product. I love the scheduling tool and the ability to add teammates availability to the scheduling link as well. Trying to juggle the calendars of multiple people in order to find times for client meetings has been a headache, but Mayday really helped address that. I also love the menu bar quick access to join meetings! Looking forward to seeing what new features they roll out next. Congrats on the Public Beta @jeremybell and team!
@jeremybell @tom_tompkins Thank you Tom! Really appreciate your support as a beta tester (and all your patience in the early days while we worked out the kinks 🙂). We're thrilled to hear how the product has been helpful for you and can't wait to share more on what's to come!
@adi_patel Thanks! And yes absolutely - Windows support, as well as Android support are both on the roadmap. We'll be focusing our next few releases on bringing additional calendar integrations (Outlook coming in the next few weeks, iCal shortly after that). From there we'll be exploring additional device support outside the Apple ecosystem.
Too confusing couldn't get it to work with long questions then I got nothing not even a download link idk even if this is real or just and MVP at this point
Sorry to hear @meridja_hadj! We are currently sending invitations to Mayday to people who are using Google Calendar and at least one Apple device as it's only available on MacOS, iOS and iPadOS. Definitely real software though!
I've been lucky enough to be in the beta and absolutely love this calendar app. There are a lot out there today, but there's something about MayDay that seems to just work better. Tags are great for organising and I use the shield function a lot, especially for writing times.
@giles_crouch Thank you Giles! Your support and feedback as we've been building Mayday have been hugely valuable. We're grateful to have a beta tester like you! Can't wait to share more and get your feedback on what's coming next.
