# Overlappy

> Overlappy is a free group scheduling tool. Everyone marks when they're free on their own link, and you pick from the times that suit the most people. Guests never need an account.

Overlappy is free, runs in the browser at https://overlappy.com and needs no sign-up for visitors.

## How it works

1. **Pick some days**: Choose the days and hours that could work, and how long you need.
2. **Send the links**: Each person gets their own link. They tap the times they are free. No sign-up, ever.
3. **Choose the time**: Overlappy shows where everyone overlaps. Tap the best one and it is booked.

## Features

- **Everyone gets their own link**: Answers stay put. Nobody can change someone else's times by accident.
- **Free, or if needed**: People can say a time suits them, or that they could make it work. Both count, one counts more.
- **We tell you when everyone's in**: Once the last person answers, you get an email with the best few times ready to pick.
- **Straight into your calendar**: Pick a time and it lands in your Google Calendar. Anyone that supplies an email gets a proper invite.
- **Their time zone, not yours**: Everyone sees the grid in their own local time, so nobody has to do the maths.
- **Made for a thumb**: Most people answer from a group chat on their phone. Tap, or hold and drag to fill a whole evening.
