Stop cross-checking calendars and counting replies in a group chat. Share one calendar, let everyone mark the dates they're free, and watch the best date light up.
You'll get a shareable link to your calendar. Everyone taps their free dates in 20 seconds. The calendar fills in with colour as responses come in.
Instead of comparing separate personal calendars, everyone marks their availability directly onto one shared grid. As responses come in, each date shades in a deeper colour the more people are free that day, so the strongest date stands out visually, no counting required.
Darker shading means more of the group is free on that date. Scan the row and the best date jumps out immediately.

Spot the recurring pattern in your group's availability so future dates are easier to pick too.
A single availability calendar adapts to how far out and how precisely you need to plan.
Flip between months to compare availability across a longer window instead of squinting at a single week.
Set a date range that spans several weeks and the calendar lays every date out on the same shared grid.
Choose whole days, half days, or specific hour slots so the calendar matches how precisely your group needs to plan.
Create your shared calendar
Name it and set the date range. Choose day, half-day, or hourly granularity if you need it.
Share the link with the group
Drop it into WhatsApp, Slack, email, or wherever the group talks. No account needed to open it.
Everyone marks their free dates
Twenty seconds per person, on the same shared calendar grid, from any phone or laptop.
Confirm the date that lights up brightest
Lock it in, then send everyone a Google Calendar link or an .ics file so it lands straight in their own calendar.
"What dates work for everyone?" is a question a group chat is bad at answering. A shared availability calendar is built for exactly this.
Group chat or spreadsheet
Replies scattered across dozens of messages, half the group never answers, and someone has to manually tally who said what against a calendar in their head.
Shared availability calendar
Every response lands on one grid automatically. The best-covered date is visible at a glance, no tallying, no scrolling back through messages.
Calendar invite ping-pong
Sending one proposed date at a time and waiting for declines means days of back-and-forth before you even find out who's actually free.
One link, one calendar
Everyone answers once, on their own time, against the same full date range, instead of one round-trip invite at a time.
The shared calendar is where the group agrees on a date. Once it's confirmed, getting it into your own calendar takes one tap.
Once the organiser confirms the date, a one-click Google Calendar link is available on the event page.
Prefer Apple Calendar, Outlook, or something else? Download the confirmed date as a standard .ics file and import it anywhere.
The same shared calendar works whether you're coordinating a work team, a poll of loose date options, or a specific kind of get-together.
