Time back. Focus protected. Nothing missed.
Cadence is the executive operating layer. It reads the systems you already use, decides what matters, and brings the right work to you the moment you sit down. No migration. No training. The tool starts where you finish.
What the executive operating layer does.
The executive operating layer is the software that sits between an executive and the systems they already run on. It reads the calendar, the inbox, the sent items and the transcripts, decides what matters, and surfaces the right work at the right moment. Cadence by Stratium is that layer. It does not ask you to type the day in. It turns up already knowing. For a fuller definition, see the executive operating layer glossary entry.

Three steps. Every working day.
Most productivity tools start every morning empty and wait for you to fill them. The executive operating layer works the other way. The day is built before you open it, the right work is in front of you when you sit down, and the loop closes itself at the end.
The day is built before you open it.
Overnight, Cadence pulls in your calendar, the inbox and sent items, yesterday's transcripts, and the commitments you made last week. The briefing is on screen by 6am. The EA can adjust it before you read it.
The Mac surfaces the right work at the right moment.
Open the menu bar, start a focus block, and the right work item is already there. macOS silences the rest. The HUD runs the session. You can Defer or Complete with one tap.
Nothing important slips.
At day's end, Cadence closes the loop. Completed work is logged, unfinished items carry forward against the right pillar, and commitments you made in email are tracked until they are answered.
What the executive operating layer reads, and from where.
Nothing here is hand-entered. Cadence reads the same systems you already run on, so the briefing reflects the day as it actually is, not as someone remembered to type it in.
Your calendar, across Microsoft 365, Google and Apple, both read and write.
The inbox and sent items, so new asks become work items routed to the right project.
Yesterday's meeting transcripts, lifted into actions with type, priority and owner.
The commitments you made last week, tracked against what you have actually done.
The routines live in Stratium. The reading and reasoning is handled by Claude, connected through MCP. Your data stays in your stack. See the connected stack for the full list of sources.
Every surface, one rhythm.
The full product runs in any browser, on any operating system. On Apple hardware there are native apps as well, for the moments between meetings, in flight, in focus mode. Cadence ships both. Same data, same rhythm, whichever surface you are on.
A native Windows app is coming soon. The web app is not a stopgap in the meantime: it is the full product, in any modern browser, on any operating system.
Stratium is the operating layer. Claude is the engine. MCP is the connector.
We do not pretend to be an AI company. We are the executive operating layer built on top of the best one, and we are precise about which part does what.
The structure: the routines, the briefing, the work items, the focus surfacing and the discipline of an executive day. Your tenant is isolated. Your data lives in your stack.
The reasoning. Reads the calendar, the inbox, the sent items, the transcripts. Classifies, prioritises, drafts and summarises. Anthropic's safety and policy posture comes with it.
The open standard now adopted across ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and the wider industry. Your data stays in your systems. The protocol does not tie you in.
You will see the full security and data architecture on the Trust and security page. Most IT teams sign off in a single review. If you are weighing options, the Cadence and Motion comparison sets out where the executive operating layer differs from a scheduling tool.
