For freelancers and small studios

Life happens.Pull the cord.

One pull moves your meetings and deadlines around the days you lose. Every client gets a short note from your own Gmail. You go and rest.

01 · The problem

It's 7am.You're not going in.

Then the week remembers you exist.

Every one of these needs a reply, a reschedule or a new date.

That's an hour of admin you don't have today..

0 people waiting on you
02 · One pull

Everything moves.You touch nothing.

Meetings inside your out-window move to the first free slot after you're back. Deadlines shift by the working days you lose. Pick how long you're out..

They hear it from you.Before they have to ask.

One short note per client, sent from your own Gmail. Only their dates, never your reason. Read it first or let it go out on its own.

05 · Real calendar, real inbox

Your real calendar moves.From your real inbox.

Ripcord moves the actual events in Google Calendar and sends from your actual Gmail. It asks Google for send-only email access. It never reads your inbox.

06 · Receipts

Nothing is permanent.Hold to put it back.

Every change Ripcord makes is logged with where it came from. Hold any row to undo it. Your calendar moves back too.

07 · Welcome back

Welcome back.Here's your first day.

The morning you're back, Ripcord has your day ordered by what's most urgent, with the reason next to each one.

08 · MCP

Can't face another app?Just ask Claude.

Ripcord ships with an MCP server. Tell Claude you're out and it previews the changes, asks you to confirm, then pulls the cord for you.

claude mcp add ripcord -- npx -y ripcord-mcp

Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code and any MCP client.

09 · Control

You stay in control.Always.

Your reason stays yours

What you type about why you're out never leaves Ripcord. Clients only see dates.

Nothing sends without you

Notes wait for your OK unless you switch auto-send on.

Undo is one hold away

Every change is logged and reversible, calendar included.

Send-only email access

Ripcord can send from your Gmail. It can't read it.

10 · Questions

Questions.Short answers.

Set it up once

Set it up today.Pull it when life happens.

Connect Google Calendar and Gmail once. The day something goes wrong, it's a single pull.
