Parch.
The calmer calendar.

A scheduling tool that respects your attention — and the attention of the people you're meeting with.

The problem

Knowledge workers spend 31% of their week in meetings — and hate most of them.

The average IC has 23 calendar invites per week. 60% are recurring. 40% are reschedules. None of them ask: is this meeting actually necessary?

The result: shallow work, context-switch tax, and a creeping sense that the calendar owns you, not the other way round.

The solution

Parch asks three questions before every invite goes out.

What's the decision? Who's the decider? Could this be a doc instead? If the answers don't add up, Parch suggests a Loom or a shared note — and the meeting never happens. People get their afternoons back.
