Getting the group together shouldn't take sixty messages.

Drop one link in the group chat instead of asking "when is everyone free?" Friends tap the times that work, and the best night shows up on top — no account or app needed.

The problem every group chat runs into

Someone suggests dinner. Six people reply with six different "I can do Thursday but not after 8" messages, one person is on mute, and by Sunday nobody remembers which night won. The plan quietly dies, or it happens with half the group.

How Commonhour works for a get-together

  1. Add a name, pick a few dates or a whole range, and set the time window. Planning a trip or a day out? Turn on All day so people pick whole days.
  2. Paste one link in the group chat. Friends open it in their phone's browser, enter their name, and tap the times they can make.
  3. The best time sits at the top of a ranked list, with a note of who can't make it.
  4. Pick it and send the invite to Google Calendar or Outlook, or share an .ics file.

Get-together scheduling questions

Do my friends need to download an app?

No. Commonhour runs in any mobile browser. Your friends open the link from the group chat, enter their name, and tap the times that work.

Can I use it to plan a trip instead of a dinner?

Yes. Turn on All day when you create the plan, pick a date range, and everyone taps the whole days they can do. The ranked list shows which days work for the most people.

Is it really free?

Yes. Creating plans, responding, and sending the calendar invite are all free, and there are no ads.
