A simpler Doodle alternative for group decisions.
Doodle and When2meet are brilliant at showing who is free when. But many scheduling questions are really decision questions: you already have a shortlist of dates, places or plans, and what you need is an honest choice. Nod Together is a free meeting poll for exactly that — everyone votes privately on the proposed options, and the group lands on the one with the broadest acceptance.
How Nod Together works
Share one link
One question and up to ten options. No accounts, no app to install — the link works in any chat, or none.
Everyone reacts privately
Each person answers Yes, Maybe, No or Hard No for every option. Nobody sees anyone else's votes — not even the organizer.
Reveal the nod
The result is the option with the broadest acceptance, not the simple majority — one Hard No outweighs a pile of casual yeses.
When Nod Together is the better fit
When the group is choosing among proposed options — three possible weekends, two venues, a handful of plans. Votes stay hidden until the reveal, so nobody anchors on the first answer, and the four reactions (Yes, Maybe, No, Hard No) capture how strongly people feel, not just whether they're technically available. The result is the option with the broadest acceptance, not a raw list of tallies.
When Doodle or When2meet fits better
If the main problem is finding open availability across many calendars, a calendar heatmap is the right tool — and that is exactly what Doodle and When2meet are built for. Nod Together doesn't integrate with calendars or draw availability grids. Use them to discover when people are free; use Nod Together when it's time to actually choose.
Three weekends, one reunion
Five friends have three possible weekends for a reunion. An availability grid would show who is technically free; a private poll shows how people actually feel. One weekend gets a Hard No from someone with a family clash, another gets four Maybes and a Yes — that's the weekend everyone can genuinely make, and nobody had to defend their calendar in the chat.
