## What is Pooly?

Pooly is the easiest way to organize, find, and join carpools with your community - find and schedule rides in advance or day-of, and see your driver approach in real-time with a live ETA and map location.

** How it works **
- Carpools can be one-time or recurring. Share the invite with a link or QR code.
- For each date, say whether you can drive or need a ride.
- Find others on a map to see who's on the way.
- A ride can start from either side: request a seat from a driver, or offer to pick someone up.

** Live ETAs and Reminders **
Drivers and riders get a reminder right before the trip. When the driver is on the way, riders see their driver's live location and ETA. No more texting or wondering where each other are.

** Track your Impact **
Every shared ride counts. See your rides, miles, and CO₂ add up over time, for you and your whole community.

** Private by design **
Locations stay approximate until a ride is accepted, your exact home is never shown, and Pooly never asks for your contacts.

Get where you're going, together, with Pooly.

### 5/5 — It works

*2026-09-26*

I used it last week to set up a big gathering of college students, most of whom don't drive. Everyone has to have the app. It's pretty intuitive and worked out very well.
