About this tool

Scheduling helps a group agree on a day everyone can attend. You prepare several candidate date-times and share them; each person answers yes/no, and the tool tallies how many can make each option. It gets meetups, meetings, and interviews scheduled without endless email back-and-forth.

How it works

  • Create an event and add several candidate date-times.
  • Send the generated share URL to the people you want to invite.
  • Each person answers availability per candidate (no account needed).
  • As answers arrive, attendance per candidate is shown as a list and ranking, making the decision easy.

Share URL and privacy

Answers are managed per share URL, and only those who know the URL can view or respond. Event pages are set not to appear in search engines, so people beyond those you shared with generally cannot find them. That said, the URL itself acts as a key, so avoid forwarding it to unrelated people.

Holiday display

The calendar for choosing candidates can highlight the holidays of a chosen country — useful when you want to avoid or target long weekends and public holidays.

Good for

  • Setting dates for club or friend-group gatherings and events
  • Proposing candidate times for team meetings and interviews
  • Coordinating a small get-together across several people's schedules

How to use

  1. Pick candidate dates on the calendar, enter a title, and create a share URL.
  2. Share the URL with participants, who each answer yes/maybe/no for the dates.
  3. Answers are tallied and the best date is ranked automatically.

FAQ

Does this tool store my data on a server?

Yes. Because it issues a shareable URL and collects responses from participants, event information such as candidate dates and answers is stored on a server. Note this differs from the other tools that run entirely in your browser.

Do participants need to register an account?

No. Anyone who opens the shareable URL can enter a name and respond without registering. It is a simple design where people who have the link can take part.

What do yes / maybe / no mean?

Yes means can attend, maybe means can attend with some adjustment (conditional), and no means cannot attend. The tally summarizes the responses so the best-fitting date becomes clear.

How long does a created event remain?

Events have an expiration and lapse after a period without updates. The expiry is pushed forward each time there is activity such as a new response, so it persists while the exchange continues.

Can a response be changed after it is submitted?

Yes, responses are designed to be editable. If your plans change, update your answer from the same shared page.

Can anyone who learns the URL see it?

The shareable URL is designed so that anyone who knows it can reach the response page. Be careful about how widely you share the link so it does not spread beyond the people involved.
