CommonTime
Use case: Team Standups

Find the perfect standup time
for your whole team.

Setting up a recurring team standup means finding a slot that genuinely works for everyone — across different time zones, work schedules, and personal constraints. CommonTime finds that slot automatically.

Schedule your standup

The scheduling problem

Picking a standup time usually goes like this: someone proposes 9am, three people say it's too early, someone suggests 10am, but that conflicts with another meeting for half the team. After a week of Slack messages, you settle on something that works for most people — but not everyone.

CommonTime replaces that whole process with a single poll. Share the link, let everyone mark their availability, and get a clear recommendation for the fairest slot.

How to schedule a standup

  1. 1
    Create a poll for the week
    Select Mon–Fri and your typical standup window (e.g. 9am–11am). Choose "Weekly" to cover recurring slots. Takes 30 seconds.
  2. 2
    Share with your team
    Copy the invite link and drop it in Slack or email. Team members click the link, enter their name, and drag to mark available slots — no account needed.
  3. 3
    CommonTime picks the best slot
    See a live heatmap of availability. CommonTime highlights the fairest slot — the one that includes the most people without always leaving the same person out.
  4. 4
    Finalize and export
    Click the chosen time to export a recurring calendar event to Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar in one click.

Automatic time zone detection

Distributed teams? Everyone sees times in their local zone. No one has to convert UTC in their head.

Fairness scoring

CommonTime doesn't just pick the most-voted slot. It uses a Gini coefficient to choose the slot that's most equitable across your team.

Real-time heatmap

Watch availability fill in live as your team responds. You'll know when you have enough coverage to finalize.

No friction for participants

Team members don't need to create an account. Just a link, a name, and a few clicks to mark availability.
