The problem
“Does Tuesday work for everyone?”
Most booking tools are built for one person sharing their own calendar. That works for a sales call. It works less well when six people, in three companies and two time zones, need to agree on one hour.
So it turns into an email thread. Someone suggests a time, two people can't make it, a new time is floated, someone replies to the old one. alignd swaps the thread for one link and one answer from each person.
How it works
One link. Three steps. One invite.
- 01
Create the event
Give it a title and a length, then choose how people answer: paint their free time, or vote on a few times you propose. It takes under a minute.
- 02
Share one link
Drop it in an email, Slack or WhatsApp. Guests open it, answer in their own time zone and confirm with a 6-digit email code if you ask for one. No account, no app.
- 03
Confirm the time
alignd ranks every slot by how many people can make it. Pick one and everyone gets a calendar invite, with a Google Meet link if the meeting is online.
Live overlap
See where everyone's free, as they answer.
Each person's free time stacks on one calendar. The darker the cell, the more people can make it. The time that suits everyone is picked out for you.

Two ways to ask
Collect free time, or put it to a vote.
Availability windows
Best when you don't know yet. Guests paint the hours they're free across the days you choose, and alignd finds the overlap that fits the meeting length.
Good for: board meetings, workshops, interview panels, anything with busy people.
Time voting
Best when you already have a few options. Propose specific slots and guests answer yes, maybe or no. The winner is obvious at a glance.
Good for: socials, client calls, recurring team slots, quick decisions.
Built in
Everything between “when?” and the invite.
Every time zone, handled
Each guest sees and answers in their own zone. You see one calendar. Nobody does mental arithmetic.
Ranked, not just listed
Slots everyone can make come first, then the next best. No squinting at a grid of ticks.
Invites sent for you
Confirm a slot and every guest gets a calendar invite and an .ics file. No copying addresses.
Google Meet links
Mark the meeting as online and a Meet link is created and added to the invite automatically.
Private by default
Guests never see each other's email addresses. Optional email codes stop people answering as someone else.
Your brand (Max)
Your colours, gradient and font on every booking page, as a default or per event.
