Standing meeting review

End the meetings you
should not be in.

Standing meetings accumulate like subscriptions. Created for a project that shipped or a crisis that passed, recurring forever, because cancelling is awkward and creating was easy. Adjourned counts what they cost, and holds the door while you end the ones that no longer earn their slot.

The honest accounting

Read from your calendar

Every recurring series, priced at hours per year and an estimated annual cost. Nothing is written, and nothing leaves your device. No calendar? Enter meetings manually; the app works either way.

The monthly ritual

One card per standing meeting, one question: does this meeting earn its time? Then a decision. Keep, shorten, cut, or defer.

Decisions are not actions

A cut meeting still counts until you confirm it actually ended. Adjourned never cancels anything for you; it records what you decided, and holds you to it.

The record

Every review, every decision, over time. A meeting sliding from Usually to Rarely across three reviews is telling you something before you have admitted it.

The day, burning down or clearing up

The gradient tracks your weekly hours. A lean calendar is clear sky; a meeting-swamped one has gone to sunset. Decisions do not lower the number. Actions do.

The stack: every standing meeting, priced A ritual card with the value question Pending decisions awaiting action The review history
