Comment from Yasuto Fukagawa, President and CEO of TimeTree

I share calendars with my partner. My schedule is not decided by only me. So why not have a calendar that incorporates sharing and communication? That's why we created TimeTree.

While being used by so many, which we are grateful for, we can hear many users' voices as well and it made us re-think. Is TimeTree really a service that enables natural communication between us? Our daily schedule is decided together, by checking and confirming with someone close to us. “I found an event like this,” “I’d like to go here”, “I have no plans this weekend”. In this way, we believe that communication is like a propellant that determines our upcoming days, our future.

Easy to share, easy to confirm, and easy to discuss our plans.

Each day is decided by each one of us by sharing and discussing together and cooperating. After rethinking the structure of a calendar that could provide an environment like this, we decided to release a new function called "TimeTree Calendar Chat". We hope that this new feature will help many users to make their daily lives even more smoother and enjoyable.
