Cadence
1:1s, goals, and team habits for small-team managers
Most management tools were built for HR departments and enterprise teams. Cadence is built for the manager running a restaurant, a retail store, or a small office with six people who all need different things from you. It gives you a consistent system for 1:1s, goal tracking, and team habits. No complicated onboarding. No features your team will never use. Simple enough to open between shifts, useful enough to actually change how you manage. Free 14-day trial.
Hey Product Hunt! I'm Sean, the founder of Cadence.
The inspiration was simple: I managed small teams for years in real estate operations and couldn't find a tool that fit. Everything out there was built for HR departments or enterprise orgs. Nothing was built for the manager running six people at a restaurant or a property site. So I built it myself.
The problem I was trying to solve is that most frontline managers have no real system. They run 1:1s inconsistently, track goals in spreadsheets or not at all, and rely on memory to know what's going on with their people. That's not a character flaw, it's a tooling gap. Cadence fills it.
As for how the process evolved, I'm not a developer. This started as a simple idea and grew into a full product through a lot of iteration, a lot of talking to managers, and more rebuilding than I'd like to admit. The biggest shift was narrowing the focus. Early versions tried to do too much. What's live now does a few things well and nothing else.
Happy to answer any questions about the product or the customers it's built for.
