Email in. Events out. You decide where they land.
You know the loop.
The email lands on your phone. A school newsletter, a studio roundup, a community digest — seven things bolted together, and the one you actually care about is buried three scrolls down. You don't have time. You'll read it later.
You don't.
Or maybe you do open it. You see the thing. You think: I'll add that when I'm back at my laptop. You don't do that either.
It gets buried. Something nags at you all week. By the time you remember, it's already happened.
imthere ends the loop — and it does it without taking you out of the loop.
You see the email. You forward it.
Don't even have to read it. School newsletter, studio announcement, community digest — whatever's in there, just forward.
Every event, extracted. Conflicts checked.
Nothing written to your calendar yet. We pull every event out of the noise and lay it next to your week.
One tap. It lands on the right calendar.
Which calendar, which conflicts to resolve, what to skip — your call. We do the reading. You make the decision.
Works for you.Not as you.
There's a new category of tools that will read your email and put events on your calendar for you. imthere is deliberately not one of them.
The difference is small to describe and enormous in practice. Those tools try to be you — reading, deciding, and acting on your behalf. imthere works for you. It handles the tedious part and then stops, because the judgment is yours.
Your calendar is a record of what you've said yes to. The moment something lands on it without you, you lose track of your own life. imthere does the work. You stay in the decision.
The gap between your inbox and your calendar.
Event information lives in email. Calendars live somewhere else. The gap between the two is where things you care about leak out.
“Add to calendar” buttons require senders to build them in. Most don't. Manually adding things requires you to remember, later, at a laptop — which doesn't happen. imthere works from the forwarder's side, in the moment, on the phone. That's why it actually works.
I'm Andrea. I built imthere because I kept missing things I cared about.
The pattern was always the same. An event email would land on my phone — a talk I wanted to hear, a fundraiser I meant to support, a friend's thing I'd promised I'd show up for. I'd think, I'll add that when I'm back at my computer. I never would. My inbox was a wasteland. The email would get buried. I'd carry a low-grade anxiety all week that I was forgetting something. I usually was.
There's a whole category of tools now that will read your email and put things on your calendar for you. I didn't want that. I wanted AI that works for me, not as me. The judgment about what I go to, what I say yes to, what I make time for — that's mine. The tedious part, the reading and the extraction and the conflict-checking — let the machine do that.
imthere is that line, drawn deliberately. It does the work. You stay the one who shows up.
