Everything PollIt can do

What scheduling polls, voting tools, availability grids, sign-up sheets and booking pages do - in one free tool, without ads or sign-up.

Making a poll

  • No account needed - an optional one keeps your polls on every device
  • Pick dates on a calendar, add times, copy them to every day; several lengths in one poll
  • Time zones: times converted for each participant, or the same local time for everyone
  • Specific dates or days of the week for availability grids, any hours and cell sizes
  • Pictures for options and a header picture; a colour for the poll
  • Questions for participants: text, e-mail, phone, number, choice, checkbox
  • Templates: 1:1 meeting, potluck, volunteer shifts, office hours, election, word cloud and more
  • Duplicate a poll with all dates moved; remember your settings for next time
  • Your calendar (.ics file or address) shows busy days while you pick dates

Answering

  • Yes / if need be / no, yes or no, or exactly one option
  • One choice, several (with minimum and maximum), or an "Other" answer
  • Drag to rank; stars, numbers, a slider or faces to rate; share out points
  • Paint your free times on a grid with the mouse or a finger
  • Book a free time on a booking page; sign up for slots with limited places
  • Your own calendar next to the options, and "fill in from my calendar"
  • "I can't make any of these" in meeting polls
  • Change or withdraw your answer, also later from a personal link
  • Participants can suggest new options (if allowed); comments with links
  • Works on phones: lists instead of tables, touch painting, large buttons

Rules and privacy

  • Names public, hidden from everyone but the organizer, or no names at all
  • Results always, after answering, after closing, or only for the organizer
  • One answer per browser, per internet address, per account, or per personal invitation
  • Password protection; "I am not a robot" check
  • Limit answers per option (first come, first served) with a waiting list; limit participants
  • Deadline that closes the poll by itself; close and reopen any time
  • Answers editable by their authors, by nobody, or by everyone (a shared table)
  • Polls are deleted automatically after a time you choose

Results and deciding

  • Live results; the best options highlighted; who said what
  • Heat map of free times with who is free when, and the best times of any length
  • Rankings counted by Borda, instant runoff (round by round), Condorcet/Schulze (head to head) and average place
  • Ratings with averages, medians and distributions; points totals
  • Word cloud of open answers
  • Decide (or let the first answer or the last invited person decide); everyone gets the result
  • Add the decision to Google, Outlook, Microsoft 365, Yahoo or any calendar (.ics)
  • Export to a spreadsheet (CSV), JSON, print or PDF; hold all proposed times in your calendar

Sharing and staying in touch

  • A link, a QR code, the phone's share sheet, e-mail, WhatsApp, Telegram and more
  • Link previews in chats show the poll's title
  • Personal invitations: who opened them, who answered, reminders
  • Push notifications to the organizer and to followers - no e-mail needed
  • Live presentation mode with a QR code and a six-digit code to join
  • Embed a poll in any web page
  • Webhooks (signed) and a public JSON API with API keys
  • Activity log of every answer and change
  • Five languages, light and dark mode, installable as an app
