About
Time is the only resource that cannot be recovered.
TermCal exists to make commitments visible, defensible, and respected.
When a person commits time to a client, an employer, a project, or any obligation, they are entering a contract. Those commitments are sacred because they represent a finite, irreversible expenditure of the most valuable thing a person has.
In practice, the principal vector of abuse in workplace power dynamics is controlling how people spend their time. Meetings that could be emails. Deadlines imposed without visibility into existing load. Schedules rearranged without consent. The cumulative effect is time theft: the quiet erosion of autonomy, energy, and wellbeing. When committed hours are silently consumed by unplanned obligations, the work those hours were meant for gets pushed into evenings and weekends as unpaid labour, or it does not get done and the individual bears the consequences.
What TermCal does
TermCal is a scheduling platform that treats every obligation as a structured, trackable commitment. Upload a contract, forward an email, type a deadline in plain text, or enter commitments directly. TermCal reads any source, identifies every commitment, and presents them for your review. You confirm before anything reaches your calendar.
Confirmed commitments carry reminders dispatched days or weeks before the deadline. Commitments that require real preparation receive time budgets: hours allocated and distributed as calendar blocks working backwards from the due date. Recurring routines are protected with priority levels visible on every calendar block. The calendar becomes evidence of how time is actually spent, not an optimistic projection of how it ought to be.

For individuals
TermCal protects time by making every obligation explicit. When commitments are extracted from documents, allocated as time budgets, and defended as calendar blocks, you can see the true cost of saying yes to one more thing. The system surfaces trade-offs before they become consequences.
For teams
TermCal gives leaders the tools to be respectful of people's time. Schedule-aware coordination shows real capacity, not just an empty slot on a calendar. When a manager can see that assigning one more obligation to someone would displace their protected preparation time for an existing deadline, the decision becomes honest.
Design principles
Human agency is non-negotiable
The system extracts, proposes, and surfaces. The person confirms. Nothing moves without explicit approval.
Transparency is structural
When conflicts arise, TermCal shows what moved and why. The cost of every commitment is visible to the person bearing it.
Zero document retention
Original documents are discarded after commitments are extracted. TermCal never stores your files. Only the commitments you choose to confirm are retained.
Data sovereignty
All infrastructure is owned and operated in France. No US-based storage, processing, or transit. Protected under GDPR. Not subject to the US CLOUD Act.
The company
TermCal is built by Accorderly Technologies Inc., a Canadian company. We believe scheduling is a trust problem, not a productivity problem. The tools people use to manage their time should respect it.
