Build the future of intentional living.
Balance is reimagining the calendar as a life-design platform. We're a small, ambitious team looking for people who care about craft, impact, and play.

What We're Building
Our focus: the standalone Balance application. A calm, dynamic product that feels alive and genuinely useful. We're designing adaptive planning, thoughtful flows, and clear interfaces people love to open daily. A coach companion dashboard is on the horizon, but right now we're laser-focused on delighting users in V2.
