Vaila finds times that fit the plan, not just your calendar. Describe the plan the way you'd text it — "coffee this week," "dinner with Maya," "study session Sunday." Vaila privately compares everyone's availability and suggests times that actually make sense for the activity: mornings for coffee, evenings for dinner, real blocks for studying. HOW IT WORKS • Describe the plan in plain words • Vaila checks calendars privately. Participants only see suggested times • Everyone picks from a few smart options, and the plan is confirmed WHY PEOPLE USE VAILA • Invitees never need an account • Invite by email or phone • Connect Google, Outlook, or Apple Calendar (optional) • AI scheduling suggestions tuned to the kind of plan • Group scheduling without the "when are you free?" spiral • Chat with your group once a plan exists • Confirmed plans can land on your calendar automatically YOUR CALENDAR STAYS PRIVATE Vaila only uses availability to make suggestions. The people you plan with see time options — never your underlying calendar events. FREE AND VAILA PRO Vaila is free to use, with up to 10 AI time suggestions a day and groups of up to 3 people. Vaila Pro is an auto-renewing subscription at $6.99 per month, starting with a 7-day free trial. It raises the limits to 100 AI time suggestions a day and groups of up to 25, and lets you connect up to 3 calendars at once. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically each month unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple ID settings. Terms: https://vailaapp.com/terms · Privacy: https://vailaapp.com/privacy
