I built https://www.withphoton.com that helps people overlay multiple calendars in any timezone, and quickly format a message that contains your availability to save time and eliminate typos.

It's a simple keyboard-first electron app that hooks up with your Google / Outlook cal. Target market is folks who schedule meetings outside their org like founders, CSM, biz dev, sales, EAs, etc.

E.g. Do any of these times (CT) work for you?

April 13 (Thursday) * 3:30 pm - 4:00 pm

April 14 (Friday) * 2:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Hey, I had bookmarked this and finally just took a look... and now realizing it's Mac-only, but nice work regardless. I think you are really on to something here... perhaps even more so if you could also include others internal to your company (where you can see availability) and then craft a similar copy/paste block of your broader team's availability (I must do this 10+ times/week!). Do you have any plans to port over to Windows?? :)

Since your pricing is a one-time fee, I assume you need to keep finding new customers to hit $2k / month.

Just curious, how do you market your product?

  • Yep - that's correct. My hunch was that people are tired of paying for subscriptions but would drop $20 on something that makes their life slightly better.

    GTM is the hardest but mostly through referrals / word of mouth. I want to do more Twitter/LI ads.
