Ultimately, the biggest thing Daybridge wants to do is make the calendar more social<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nBut ultimately, the biggest thing Daybridge wants to do is make the calendar more social. More than once in our conversations, McHugh tells me he doesn\u2019t think of Daybridge as a productivity tool but more like a social network. \u201cWe\u2019re not trying to help you get more work done,\u201d he says. \u201cI would say, it\u2019s more to help people feel in control of their time, and if your friends and family and colleagues or whatever use Daybridge, it should be very easy to find time together.\u201d<\/p>\n
At work, calendars are a relatively solved problem \u2014 it\u2019s not weird to get a calendar invite from your colleague, nor is it intrusive to send them one. But would you drop a calendar invite for golf this weekend to your whole foursome? Daybridge is spending a lot of time exploring how shared calendars work in the hopes that \u201cyou can add people to it as lightly as starting a group chat in WhatsApp,\u201d Welch says. He imagines a world in which you might plan a trip with friends in a collaborative calendar \u2014 not a Google spreadsheet. The team is also working on public event pages so you can create an event, get RSVPs, and add things to people\u2019s calendars without needing to create a Facebook event.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/source><\/picture>\n

One thing Daybridge wants to rethink is how event invites and pages work.<\/em><\/figcaption>Image: Daybridge<\/cite><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
Back to reality for a second: hardly any of this exists in the Daybridge that\u2019s launching now. What Daybridge is, right now, is a nice-looking web app that lets you manage your Google Calendar and a super simple mobile app. The app is early and basic enough that it only recently started allowing you to edit your Google Calendar events rather than just viewing them. There are plenty of bugs and oddities in the app, and I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d recommend anyone use it as their primary time management tool. Right now, Daybridge is just a calendar app, and there are better ones out there.<\/p>\n
Still, even in these early stages, the app offers a few glimpses of what McHugh has been working on all this time. There are three modes in the calendar: Plan, which shows your time in a normal grid so you can put stuff on it and move it around; Focus, which jumps straight to today\u2019s calendar and removes everything else; and Relax, which hides all of your work events and shows you only the stuff that\u2019s happening in your actual life in the next three days. Even in the normal Plan view, you can click a button and immediately hide all of your work events or click another and compress the view back into something like a kanban board.<\/p>\n
Building a social network on top of a calendar makes a lot of sense, and apps like IRL have found some success doing it. But Daybridge is trying to do an awful lot in a single app, from helping you schedule your time and make the most of it to helping you stay aware of all the time-sensitive things happening around you. It\u2019s also going to have to convince a lot of people to ultimately pay for another calendar app and \u2014 maybe most important \u2014 start to rewrite some of our shared norms and unofficial rules about how calendars work and how we use them. Getting you to send your date a calendar invite is a big hurdle to clear.<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s like all those inspirational posters say: you don\u2019t manage your time; you manage your life. And we could all use a little help on that front.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
