A published signup page for Fall Festival Volunteers, showing five shifts with live counts and Full and Filling up badges

A real signup page. Full shifts close themselves — nobody double-books.

Signing up

Two fields, and they're in

Name and email. No password to forget, no app to download, no account to create. They can change or cancel their spot later from the link we email them.

  • They pick a shift, review it, confirm — three taps
  • An optional note to you — dietary stuff, a question
  • An account is offered afterwards, never required
The review step, asking only for a name and an email before confirming the signup
An item list where people claim what they will bring, with live counts and items marked done
Item lists

Nobody brings the fourth pasta salad

Ask for four main dishes, two bags of ice and a folding table. People claim what's easy for them, and the list updates for everyone as they do — so the last person to open it can still see what's actually missing.

Claimed items grey out. Ones nobody has taken stay loud.

On a phone

Because it's going in a group text

That's where these links actually get opened — standing in a pickup line, one thumb, thirty seconds before the bell. The same page, the same live counts, no pinch-and-zoom and no app store detour.

The same signup page rendered at phone width
Your side of it

Every hole in your schedule, on one screen

Two shifts full, cleanup with five spots open and three weeks to go. You can see it without counting anything — then message just those people, or export the roster.

The organizer view grouped by shift, with Full and Needs signups badges and the number of open spots on each
Item coverage showing which items are fully claimed and which nobody has taken yet

The same view for the food

“Nobody claimed yet” is the one you're looking for. Two bags of ice, still nobody.

The participant confirmation screen with an add-to-calendar link and an optional account offer

And what they get back

A confirmation, an add-to-calendar link, and a reminder the day before. Fewer no-shows, no group-chat nagging.

Repeating schedulesOn Pro

Set the pattern once, not twenty-two times

Reading buddies every Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoon, right through the fall. You pick the days and the shift times — every matching date gets built for you.

Three months of generated dates beside a per-date list, with one date marked cancelled

Ten weeks in six clicks: 22 slots across 22 dates, 330 spots.

It does the counting

Two days a week for ten weeks is twenty-two shifts, and placing those by hand is how people give up halfway. You choose two days and two times; the rest is arithmetic.

Real life still gets a veto

Cancel the week of the holiday. Move one Tuesday later, or add a second shift to a single date. Everything you don't touch keeps following the pattern.

A dialog editing a single date in the series, offering to cancel just that date
Making one

Describe it once, in one sentence

Type what you're organising the way you'd say it out loud. You get back a draft with the shifts, the item list and the times already laid out — then you edit anything you like before it goes anywhere.

Or skip it and fill in the four-step form yourself. Nothing is published until you say so.

The create screen inviting you to describe your event in a sentence to generate a draft

That's the whole product. Yours takes about five minutes.

Class parties, teacher appreciation, book fair shifts, team snacks — start from a template or a sentence.
