DuogendaDuogenda gives each manager-report duo a shared place for agendas, action items, private notes, and meeting rhythm, without turning the 1:1 into company-wide HR complexity.
Why Duogenda
Duogenda keeps the 1:1 workflow intact without adding the overhead of an org-wide platform.
Duogenda is 1:1 meeting software for the manager-report relationship, not another company-wide performance process.
Managers own the recurring 1:1 habit. Direct reports can participate fully without becoming separate paid seats.
Shared agendas, action items, private notes, and meeting rhythm stay together without dragging the 1:1 into a bigger org-chart system.
In the product
See how Duogenda supports preparation, conversation, and follow-through without turning the 1:1 into another HR program.
Each duo has its own shared agenda, action items, and meeting rhythm, so the conversation stays attached to the relationship instead of being absorbed into team-wide software.
Agenda items, action items, private notes, and the next meeting context live together so both people can return to the same thread without hunting across tools.
Managers can keep multiple 1:1s moving without adopting a full HR suite, while optional Google Calendar support helps connect the recurring rhythm when needed.
Duogenda charges for the manager who owns the 1:1 practice, so direct reports can fully participate without turning every relationship into another paid seat. That keeps pricing aligned with who actually runs the recurring cadence.
Manager-first pricing
Duogenda is licensed per manager because the manager owns the 1:1 habit. Team members participate in 1:1s without becoming separate paid seats, which keeps the product simple, self-serve, and much easier to justify.
Free to start. Paid plans begin at $10 per manager / month.
From the blog

When restructures, attrition, and constant change drain motivation, the right 1:1 conversations can restore clarity, agency, and a sense that the work still means something.
A practical 1:1 meeting agenda template for managers who want a steadier conversation, better listening, and cleaner follow-through.
