An assistant that
An assistant that
actually knows you.
Most AI starts from a blank page. Tempo starts from your calendar, your inbox, your notes and your week, then plans around the life you already have.

Just say it
Ask like you'd ask a friend.
No commands, no rigid syntax, no setting up rules. Tempo already has your context, so one scrappy sentence is enough, and it can handle two unrelated things at once.
One message, two jobs
"Schedule a gym sesh around 7, and how are my internship emails looking?"
Tempo books the session in a real gap, then reads back every internship thread by sender and date. Your calendar and your inbox, answered together, because it can see both.
You stay in the loop
It drafts. You approve. Then it acts.
Tempo writes the reply in your tone and shows it to you first. Nothing leaves your account until you say go, and every action ends with a plain receipt of exactly what happened.
What it reads
It already knows your week.
A chatbot needs you to explain your life every single time you open it. Tempo connects to the four places your week actually lives, so the answers are about you rather than about productivity in general.
Your actual calendar
Classes, shifts, meetings and the gaps between them. It plans into real free time, not imaginary time.
Your inbox, sorted by who needs you
Not 25 unread. Twenty-five that need a reply, from sixteen senders, with drafts already written.
Your notes and courses
Notion pages and course load come along for the ride, so deadlines land where they actually fit.
Who's actually free
See which friends have a real gap right now. Tap one, send an invite, and it lands on both calendars.
Context stays yours
Tempo reads your accounts to run your assistant. That's it. Your data isn't sold, and it isn't used to train public models. Read the Privacy Policy if you want the specifics.
Home screen
Your day, before you open anything.
The best assistant is one you don't have to launch. Tempo's native iOS widgets put the briefing and the next block right on your home screen, so a glance replaces opening three apps.
1
The briefing, in a glance
What's next, and the one thing still waiting on you, written in a sentence rather than a list of notifications.
2
Next up, always current
The next block, how many you have today, and total hours booked. It updates itself as your day moves.
3
Sizes that fit your setup
Small for a corner of the grid, large when you want the full picture. Native iOS, so it feels like it shipped with the phone.
The app
Six screens. One place your day lives.
It plays through on its own, or jump to whichever one you want.
01 · Calendar
Your day, readable at a glance
Coloured blocks for study, social, health and personal, with everything you've finished ticked off. Week strip up top, and three layouts to switch between.
02 · Briefing
A briefing, not a notification pile
One short read on what actually needs you today, pulled from your calendar and inbox together. Play it out loud when your hands are busy.
03 · Assistant
It plans the rest of today for you
Ask it anything in plain English, or tap "Plan remaining time" and let it build realistic blocks around whatever is already booked.
04 · Focus
Focus that's tied to real work
Pick the task, pick a rhythm (25/5, 50/10 or 90/15) and start. Sessions attach to the actual assignment instead of floating free.
05 · Social
See who's genuinely free
Tempo compares calendars so you can stop sending "you around?" texts. Tap a friend who's free, send an invite, and it lands on both calendars.
06 · Tasks
Tasks that turn into real time
Capture what you owe yourself: gym, errands, an assignment. Tempo blocks the time for it. Sorted by urgency, not by when you typed it.

From early testers
People already using it.
The tool that means you never have to hold your calendar in your head.
I was about to subscribe to Motion. Then I saw $34 a month and backed off. Tempo does similar AI scheduling for a fraction of that. I was sold.
I spend more on energy drinks in a day than Tempo costs for a month. Of course I'd subscribe.

FAQ
Common questions
Which platforms is Tempo on?
iPhone and desktop. The iPhone app is built and running today. It just isn't on the App Store yet, which is why the waitlist exists. The desktop app is currently in beta.
How do I actually get it?
Drop your email in the box above. We send access out in batches so we can support every new user properly, rather than opening the doors and disappearing.
What makes Tempo different from a normal calendar app?
A normal calendar shows your events. Tempo also drafts inbox replies, proposes schedule changes, delivers a short daily briefing, and puts your day on a native iOS home screen widget. Nothing sends or moves until you approve it.
How is Tempo different from Motion or Reclaim?
Motion and Reclaim auto-place blocks into a calendar you already use. Tempo is a full native calendar app with inbox drafting, daily briefings and home screen widgets built in, at a fraction of the price.
Is Tempo only for students?
No. Tempo is built for young adults and busy people generally. It happens to work especially well for students, but the AI engine, integrations and widgets are designed for anyone juggling a full calendar and inbox.
Does Tempo send or reschedule without asking?
No. It drafts and proposes, then waits. Every send and every schedule change shows you a confirmation first, and gives you a receipt of what it did afterwards.
How much does it cost?
$7.99 AUD per month once checkout opens. Payment isn't open yet, and joining the list is free. No card, and no trial countdown running in the background.
How is my data used?
To run your assistant, and nothing else. We don't sell your data and we don't use it to train public models. The Privacy Policy spells out exactly what's read and stored.
What does Tempo connect to?
Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook and Notion. Tempo reads them to understand your day, and only writes when you approve an action.
Who's building it
Two engineering students who kept dropping things.
We're Axel and Nick, engineering students at the University of Queensland. We built Tempo because we were the problem: classes in one app, deadlines in another, an inbox we kept meaning to get to. Every assistant we tried wanted us to explain our week before it could help, so we started building one that already knew it.
