Six views of the same quarter.
Overview, this week, calendar, roadmap, projects and review: the same items, drawn six ways, one click apart. Pick one.
Overview
Five kinds of date, five marks.
A meeting is not a deadline and a milestone is not a deliverable. Madison draws each one differently, everywhere it draws them, so a quarter can be read at a glance instead of decoded.
Task
A piece of work with a day on it. The bulk of any quarter.
Meeting
Has an hour and a length, so the calendar draws it at its real size instead of as a dot.
Deadline
A date somebody else is counting on. Hollow: it outranks everything beside it.
Deliverable
The thing that actually gets handed over. Haloed, because it is the point of the lane.
Milestone
A marker on the roadmap rather than a piece of work. It is either reached or it is not.

A quarter with shape in one click
A launch, a client, a hiring round or an ops cycle, with the dates already spaced across the quarter. Pick one and the list is the one the planner would make.
8 due this week.
Phone screens: batch 1 (Hiring), Landing page copy (Autumn launch), Design sync (Autumn launch), Weekly check-in (Northwind account), and 4 more
Ask your own term a question
Anything that is arithmetic over what is already on the page is answered at once, offline. Anything that is not, the planner offers to ask Claude.
Asked against the example quarter in the demo.
The week as an agenda.
Anything overdue first, with a way out. Then the week, day by day, every project at once, each meeting at its hour.
Overdue, then the week
Anything late comes first and can be moved to today or tomorrow in one click. Then the days in order.
Every row knows its hour
A meeting shows its time; a deadline shows its day. Nothing to open to find out when.
Project and kind on every row
Which project, and whether it is a task, a meeting, a deadline, a deliverable or a milestone, at a glance.
A calendar with real hours.
Seven days over a time axis. A meeting sits at its hour and takes its length; a deadline sits on its day. Drag either to reschedule it.
Meetings keep their length
Half an hour is half an hour on the page, so a day full of them looks full before it is.
Drag to reschedule
Pick a meeting up and drop it on Thursday. Repeats move one occurrence at a time.
Repeats until a date
Weekly or every two weeks, each occurrence its own row, so one can move without the rest.
Calendar
The quarter as a roadmap.
One lane per project, filling as work is done, with milestones, deadlines and deliverables in place and one line for today across all of them.
Deadlines read first
Hollow, so they outrank everything beside them. Milestones and deliverables are haloed.
A line for today
Across every project at once, so the shape of the next month is one glance.
Click a week, open it
Any week number on the roadmap opens that week in the calendar, every project at once.
Roadmap
And the rest of it.
Everything below is in the demo, unlocked, without an account.
Every project at a glance
How far along, what is overdue, the next deadline and the next meeting — one card per project, and the open items under it.
The review adds up
How much of the quarter is done, what finished on time, hours in meetings, and the load per week with the done part filled in.
Everything is a key away
One bar for every command: new item, add a plan, a template, export, and a question for Madison when none of those fit.
Repeats that stay editable
Weekly or every two weeks until a date. Each occurrence is its own row, so one can move without touching the rest.
Start from a template
A fresh quarter has shape in one click: a launch, a client, a hiring round or an ops cycle, with the dates already spaced.
Plan the week
Stand-ups and weeklies first, then real work in the hours that are left, with a sentence saying why it chose what it chose.
Leaves when you want it to
A live calendar feed for Google, Apple or Outlook, a JSON backup of everything, or the printed page. What you put in comes back out.
Built for the keyboard.
Every one of these is real. Press a key now and watch it go down.

Quarters that look like yours.
Six shapes of a term, each one something the planner actually draws.
A product launch
Kickoff, brief, freeze, launch day, retro. One lane on the roadmap, every date on it.
A client account
The weekly check-in as a repeat, the QBR at its hour, the renewal hollow on the strip.
A hiring round
Screens, on-sites, the offer, the start date: eight weeks that have to happen in order.
Ops and finance
Expense deadlines, the close, the board update, the budget locked by a date.
A meeting-heavy week
Stand-ups and weeklies first, then the real work in the hours that are left.
Three projects at once
Filter to one with a click, or see all three lanes side by side with one line for today.
Before you start.
Anything not here, write to us. There is an address in the footer and a person reads it.
What can I drop in?
PDF, Word (.docx), OpenDocument (.odt), plain text, Markdown, CSV or HTML — or just paste. The text is pulled out on your device. Scanned PDFs with no text layer are not readable yet.
Who reads it?
Claude reads the text and returns exact names and resolved dates. Only the text you drop in is sent, and only to be read; nothing about it is kept. If the reader is unavailable a rules-based one runs on your device instead, and the review step says which one ran.
Does it replace my calendar?
It sits beside it. Madison is the page you plan on; subscribe to the live calendar feed and the dates appear in Google, Apple or Outlook next to everything else.
Recurring meetings?
Choose weekly or every two weeks and an end date. Each occurrence is its own row, so you can move or skip one without touching the rest.
Do I need an account?
A free one. Sign up with an email and a password and your plan is kept in your account, so it is there on your laptop, your phone and anywhere else you log in.
Where does my data go?
Into your account, and nowhere else. It is stored under your own login and shown only to you. Export a JSON backup any time, or a calendar file (.ics) to see the dates in Google, Apple or Outlook.
What does it cost right now?
Nothing. Madison is free while it is being built, and this copy cannot take a card even if you wanted it to. The prices on the pricing page are what it will cost when it is finished.
