A Doodle alternative for friends, not business meetings
Doodle is built for professional scheduling these days: polls, booking pages, calendar sync, per-user pricing. If you just want to know when your friends are free, that's a lot of machinery. Sync is one shared grid - no account, no ads, no upsell.

When Doodle is the better pick
Scheduling with clients, sending booking links, syncing your work calendar? That's Doodle's home turf, and it's genuinely good at it. Sync doesn't do any of that. It does one thing: friends and free time.
Questions, answered
- Is Sync really free?
- Yes. No ads, no premium tier, no credit card. It's a small tool that's meant to stay simple.
- Do my friends need an account or an app?
- No. They open your link in any browser, type a name, and mark when they're free. Joining takes one tap.
- Can we use it for plans that repeat?
- Yes - that's the point. Your group and its grid stick around, so you can come back every week and just adjust.
