Find the hour
everyone's free.
Pick a few days that might work and share one link. Everyone paints when they're free, and the overlap shows you when to meet — in each person's own time zone.
Free. Let guests answer without an account, or ask everyone to sign in — your call.
Four steps, and one of them is pasting a link.
- 01
Pick the window
Choose specific dates — drag across the calendar to grab a block — or plain days of the week for something recurring. Set the hours worth considering.
- 02
Share one link
Drop it in the group chat. People open it and drag across the times they can do — with just a name if you allow guests, or after a one-tap Google / Apple sign-in.
- 03
Read the overlap
The grid darkens where more people are free. Hover any slot to see exactly who is in and who is out, or let “Best times” do the reading for you.
- 04
Lock it in
Pick the final time. The poll freezes for everyone, the page says when, and the calendar link — Google or a plain .ics — is right there. Plans change? Reopen it with one click.
The small things that make a poll trustworthy.
Time zones, handled
Availability is stored as absolute moments. A 9-to-5 in Budapest shows up as the small hours in Los Angeles and spills past midnight in Sydney — correctly, for each viewer.
A softer yes
Paint a slot as “if needed” when you could make it but would rather not. It counts toward the overlap and stays visibly different from a firm yes.
Guests welcome — if you say so
Switch on guest responses and answering takes a name, nothing more; the browser remembers them so they can come back and edit. Leave it off and everyone signs in, which also makes their answer follow them across devices.
Best times, by meeting length
Say the meeting needs 90 minutes and “Best times” ranks only the windows where people can stay for all of it — and warns anyone painting a stretch too short to host it. Filter to a few key people when not everyone is essential.
Paint with the group in view
Switch on “Show others” and your own picks sit right on top of everyone’s heat, so you aim for the darkest cells instead of guessing. Undo is one keystroke away.
Deadlines, and a heads-up
Close answers after an hour, a week, or on a date you choose. If you like, get an email as each answer arrives — with the overlap so far and the best stretch, no need to open the app.
Nothing changes quietly
Organisers can fix someone’s answer, but it’s marked as edited. Once a time is picked, availability is frozen for everyone until it’s reopened. A poll people can trust is a poll people answer.
Made for thumbs too
Drag-to-paint works with a finger as well as a mouse — tap where a stretch starts, tap where it ends — and with arrow keys and space if you prefer the keyboard. Dark mode follows your system.
Meeting your group where it already talks.
Today the link is the integration: paste it into Slack, Discord, Teams or iMessage and it unfurls into a live card — the event, how many have answered, the heatmap itself. Next, the poll moves into those tools properly. Here is the order we’re working in.
Slack
Up nextPost the poll to a channel, get a nudge as people answer, announce the pick when it’s made.
Discord
Up nextThe same for servers: a bot that drops the card, keeps the heatmap fresh and pings when it’s decided.
Microsoft Teams
PlannedAn Adaptive Card in the channel, and the final time straight into Outlook calendars.
Google Calendar
PlannedAutofill your free times from your calendar so answering takes seconds — and the pick lands on it with everyone invited.
Outlook & Microsoft 365
PlannedThe same autofill and one-click invite for Outlook and Microsoft 365 calendars.
Zoom & Google Meet
PlannedAttach a call link to the final time so the invite is complete the moment it’s picked.
Webhooks
PlannedA URL of your own that hears about new answers and the final pick — for everything not on this list.
Calendar files
Available todayEvery picked time comes with a Google Calendar link and an .ics file — weekly recurring for weekday polls, timezone-safe.
