See the whole thing before you sign up
Every screen below is the real product — the page your people open, and the one you watch fill up. No account, no sales call, and you don't have to build a signup to find out what it looks like.
Free to start. No credit card.
A real signup page. Full shifts close themselves — nobody double-books.
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
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.
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.
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 same view for the food
“Nobody claimed yet” is the one you're looking for. Two bags of ice, still nobody.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Use TheSignup with Claude, ChatGPT, or Muse
Connect your AI assistant once, then ask it to make signups for you. Draft an event, add shifts and items, check who's signed up, see what's missing, and message participants — all through conversation.
TheSignup works with any assistant that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You stay in control: the assistant acts as you, subject to your plan limits and logged to your audit trail.
