How it works

Five steps, start to finish.

  1. 1

    Name it and pick a deadline

    Give it a title — "Dinner Friday?" — and pick when voting closes. The deadline is what ends the vote, so nobody has to be the one who calls it.

  2. 2

    Add the options

    Type a name, or paste a link and we pull in the photo and the description.

  3. 3

    Share one link

    Drop it in the group chat. Nobody needs an app, an account or a password to vote.

  4. 4

    Everyone taps what works

    Tap every option you'd be happy with — as many as you like. Each person also gets one veto for a hard no.

  5. 5

    The deadline decides

    When the deadline you set runs out, voting closes by itself, and the winner shows up on everybody's screen without anyone refreshing.

Good to know

Anyone with the link can see who has voted. Nobody sees what anyone picked — the results are totals.

Only the organizer can close voting early — otherwise the deadline does it.

Your picks are final once you send them, and the list of options is locked from the moment voting opens.

The honest bit

You could vote twice, and we know

Voting takes no account, which means nothing stops somebody opening a private window and voting again. If you are signed in you get one vote per session, but a guest is just a browser.

We could give every voter their own link instead. That means collecting everyone's phone number, or the organizer sending the message one person at a time — and for deciding where five friends eat, that felt worse than the problem.

Start something

Starting one asks for an email, a username and a password. Voting in someone else's never does.
