PickaTime
Read full descriptionHide full description
Find when everyone in your group is actually free β without sending another poll. PickaTime lays your friends', teammates', or family's busy times on top of each other and instantly shows the windows when you can all meet. No back-and-forth. No "let me check and get back to you." No survey links. How it works: - Sign in with Apple or Google. - Create a group and share the invite link. - Each person marks the times they're busy (or imports them from their calendar). - PickaTime overlays everyone's schedule and highlights the shared free slots β green when all of you are open, yellow when you're one person away. Designed for small groups: - Friends planning dinner. - Couples coordinating with in-laws. - Project teams scheduling a sync. - Study groups, book clubs, hobby crews. Privacy you can feel: - We never see your event titles, locations, or notes. - Only the time ranges you choose to share leave your device. - Delete your account or leave a group at any time and your data goes with you. Why it's different: - No polling. The overlap appears the moment everyone has marked their schedule. - The "nearly free" view shows times where just one person is unavailable β so you know when it's worth a quick "hey, can you move that 4pm?" - Built for iOS 17 with native gestures, smooth animations, and a calm, paper-textured design that's a pleasure to use. PickaTime is free to start, with optional auto-renewable Plus and Pro subscriptions for higher limits. No ads. No tracking. Just the answer to "when are we all free?"
