Around the Table
What they’re carrying, what you promised last time, where you left off — waiting for you, before you sit down. No dashboard to feed and no process to roll out. It does the remembering, so the hour goes to the person instead of to reconstructing the last conversation.

What actually changes on Monday morning.
Nothing about your calendar. Nothing about your process. What changes is that you stop carrying six people’s worth of detail in your head — and stop finding out three weeks later that somebody quietly needed you.
Every commitment from every 1-on-1, in one list, surfaced on the day it goes late. Keeping your word stops depending on your memory.
What they won, what they wanted to talk about, where they got stuck — dated, in the words it was said in. You never open a 1-on-1 cold.
The week lays itself out, a cadence per person — so the quiet one who never asks for time is the one it puts in front of you.
One calm screen, then you sit down.
They fill this in before you meet — how they’re actually doing, in their own numbers. Then your history together, the promise you made last time, and your own private notes, on one screen in the order you’ll need them. Not a form to fill in. A minute to arrive.
The half nobody else ever sees.
A running record of who each person is and what they’re carrying — written for you, by you. Not visible to their manager, not to leadership, not to us. It’s the difference between managing a role and knowing a person.
Your 1-on-1s, where you'll see them.
Connect your Google Calendar and Around the Table keeps your recurring 1-on-1s on a private "Around the Table" calendar with a day-before reminder, and helps you protect that time. Connecting is your choice, and you can disconnect anytime.
What we do — and never do
It writes to one calendar, and reads only if you say so. Around the Table only ever writes to the private "Around the Table" calendar it creates for your 1-on-1s. If you opt in to calendar discovery, it reads your calendar read-only, shows it only to you, and keeps only the people you confirm. It's never shared with your team, your organization, or anyone else, never sold, and never used for advertising.
Your notes are yours. What you write about a person is private to you. And nothing ever listens or records at the table.
Free to use for yourself. Two-sided when you're ready.
Track and lead your own people for free — add someone by name and their seat is waiting. When you're ready to invite them to their side of the table, that's when the conversation becomes two-way. The relationship is the product; the software just protects it.

The five minutes before a 1-on-1 are rarely spent at a desk. Everything that matters is one thumb away.
