Async retros, sprint check-ins, and monthly pulses — posted in Slack on your team's schedule, answered privately, surfaced cleanly. No more begging people to join a meeting.
No card required · Free for teams of 5 or fewer · SOC 2 Type II
Pick the ones you want. Cadence posts them in Slack on your schedule, collects responses privately, and publishes a clean summary when the window closes.
Three standard prompts — or your own. Responses are private until the window closes, then summarized in Slack with themes, top votes, and action items.
Tuesday 10am: "What's blocking you?" posted in-channel. Replies thread privately to the lead. Unblock before Thursday's standup.
What's blocking you this week?
Four questions, four seconds to answer, once a month. Anonymous scores trended over time so you spot drift before people start leaving.
Cadence does a few things carefully. Here's what you get the day you install it.
Installs in a click. Works in any channel. No one has to leave Slack to participate.
Sprint-aware, calendar-aware, timezone-aware. Runs on yours, not Cadence's.
Themes clustered, votes aggregated, action items assigned. Posted back to your channel.
Action items become tickets in one click. Every ritual leaves a trail.
Responses are private until the window closes. Anonymous mode for pulses.
For heads of eng: monthly rollup across squads without managers uploading spreadsheets.
"We've tried three retro tools. Cadence is the first one that actually made the team's rituals stick — because the team doesn't think of it as a tool. It's just the thing that happens in our channel on Fridays."
Free for teams up to five. 14-day trial of team features. No credit card, no sales call, no data export fees if you leave.
