About

Potentially

Features
Read full description

Potentially is how your group actually decides things - by passing notes, not arguing in the group chat. Fold a note, toss it on the desk, and your clique pulls it open to answer. Where are we going tonight? Who's actually coming? Pizza or tacos? Everyone marks the same page - in their own pen - and it comes back covered in everyone's handwriting, not a sterile bar chart. PASS A NOTE - Write a question, add choices, send it to your clique - Notes arrive folded on your desk - pull them open to read - Pick one, or pick several and star your favorite KEEP IT FUN (AND FAIR) - Blind notes stay sealed until you add your answer - no peeking, no bandwagon - Or go Live and watch the answers roll in - Set a deadline and Potentially stamps the winner when time's up - then hands you a Google Calendar invite for the plan FIND A TIME - Share your availability with a clique - busy times only, never what you're doing - Potentially suggests the best slots: everyone free, or the most who can make it - Vote with stars, settle it, and put the winner on everyone's calendar in one tap - Works with the calendars already on your phone - Google, iCloud, Outlook NEVER MISS A NOTE (NEW) - Get a notification the moment someone passes a note to your clique - Tap the banner and the note opens, ready to answer - Too chatty? Mute any clique's pings with one tap MAKE IT YOURS - Your own pen color and signature doodle on every answer - Private cliques with invite links you can send anywhere - Messages, WhatsApp, wherever - A hand-drawn desk where unanswered notes sit until you deal with them No ads. No noise. Just your people, passing notes.
