How does Slashy schedule around my focus time?

Slashy's calendar lives in a sidebar next to your inbox, so scheduling reads the same context your email does. It learns your scheduling preferences from the memory system, including when you tend to respond and how you usually book your day. The result is scheduling that defends deep-work blocks instead of fragmenting them, because the calendar and the email that drives most meetings sit in one surface rather than two separate apps.

Why keep the calendar next to the inbox instead of in a separate app?

Because most meetings start as email. When a thread needs a time, the calendar sidebar handles it without a tab switch, so you book the slot while you still have the context in front of you. Splitting calendar and inbox into two apps forces a reorientation cost every time you move between them. HBR's 2022 toggling study found app-switching adds up to roughly four hours a week. Keeping both in one surface removes that tax for scheduling.

Does the calendar know what is in my email threads?

Yes. Slashy folds email and calendar into one product, so the scheduling surface can draw on the thread that triggered the meeting. The in-house memory system tracks your scheduling preferences and your response timing, which means proposed times reflect how you actually run your week rather than just open slots. The more you use it, the closer those suggestions get to how you would have booked the meeting yourself.

Can I manage my calendar from my phone?

Yes. Slashy works over iMessage, so you can check your calendar, triage urgent mail, and draft replies by texting. That covers the away-from-laptop moments when someone asks for a time and you do not want to open the full app. The iOS app is shipped alongside the Mac desktop app, so the calendar travels with you.

What calendar does Slashy connect to?

Slashy connects to Google Calendar through the same Google account you use for Gmail or Google Workspace. Outlook.com and Microsoft 365 are also supported, on web, desktop, and iOS. Because email and calendar run on one login, there is no separate setup for scheduling, and the calendar sidebar appears next to your inbox as soon as you connect.

How much does Slashy cost, and is there a trial?

Slashy Professional is $30/user/month month-to-month, or $300/year billed annually. There is a 7-day free trial and no free tier. The Professional tier includes the calendar sidebar, AI drafts, auto-labeling, follow-up reminders, and Attio and HubSpot CRM integrations. Enterprise pricing is custom.

Calendar AI That Protects Your Focus

Scheduling should defend deep work, not fragment it. How Slashy schedules around your real priorities.

TL;DR

Scheduling should defend deep work, not fragment it. Slashy's calendar lives in a sidebar next to your inbox and learns your scheduling preferences from the same memory system that reads your email, so it proposes times around your real priorities instead of filling every gap. Here is why that matters and how to set it up.

Why this matters

Email is where most knowledge work actually happens, yet the tools treat it as a dumb list. An intelligent inbox changes the unit of work from "messages" to "outcomes." That shift compounds the more it learns about how you actually communicate.

How Slashy approaches it

Slashy was built AI-native from the first commit. The in-house memory system adapts continuously to the email you send, receive, and respond to, so drafting, triage, and scheduling get sharper over weeks rather than stalling at day-one accuracy.

What to do next

Start a trial and let the memory system watch one week of real inbox activity. The difference between day one and day thirty is the whole point.
