ProductDeadlines and calendar

Every deadline, with the work planned backward.

Each application or bid you pursue gets milestones counted back from its deadline. You approve the schedule, and it goes on one calendar you can subscribe to from your own.

The demo runs on a fictional organization and recorded runs. No sign-up.

The calendar with deadlines and milestones across a month.

The calendar, on demo data. Deadlines and the milestones before them.

How it works, step by step.

  1. The deadline comes from the source

    When you save an opportunity, its deadline is taken from the notice, with the link. Rolling or unstated deadlines are shown that way, not given a made-up date.

  2. Milestones counted back

    It proposes dates for the steps before submission. For a grant: first draft, board review, budget sign-off, letters of support, submit. For a bid: go/no-go, questions to the contracting officer, draft, principal review, sign forms, submit. You can move any of them.

  3. The schedule waits for you

    The proposed schedule arrives in the Inbox. Nothing lands on the calendar until you approve it.

  4. Addenda move the dates

    When you add an addendum that changes a due date, the deadline moves, the milestones are replanned, and a note on what changed lands in your Inbox.

  5. The month and the year

    The calendar shows deadlines and milestones by month. The year plan shows when each funder's cycle falls, so a busy spring is visible in January.

  6. On the calendar you already use

    Subscribe to a private calendar feed from Apple Calendar, Outlook, or Google Calendar, or connect Google Calendar to push events to a calendar you choose.

The year plan: application cycles and deadlines across twelve months.

The year plan: which funders come due in which months.

The specifics

Calendar feed
A private ICS link that any calendar app able to subscribe to a URL can show. How often it refreshes depends on your calendar app.
Google Calendar
A direct push to a calendar you choose, once you connect your Google account. It is not connected in the demo.
Weekly digest
An email with new matches and the next two weeks of deadlines. You can turn it off.
Reminder emails
A reminder a few days before each milestone, on the schedule in your notification settings. You can turn them off.

What it will never do

  • Put a date on your calendar before you approve the schedule.
  • Invent a deadline. Each one comes from the notice, with its link.
  • Submit anything when a deadline arrives.
  • Write to your Google Calendar unless you connect it.
