In simple English
This tool helps a group of people find a time to meet. You create a poll and send it to friends or coworkers. They mark when they are free. The app finds the slot that works best for everyone. You can run it on your own server for free.
What it is
Timeful is an open-source alternative to group scheduling services like Doodle. It lets you collect availability and connect to external calendars.
What it is good for
Solo builders and teams who want to coordinate meetings without sharing data with a third-party service.

Good
- Integrates with Google, Outlook, and Apple calendars.
- Handles different time zones for international teams.
- Supports Docker (a way to run a program inside its own sealed box, so it cannot break anything else on your server) for easy self-hosting.
Watch for
- Requires a server and database to host yourself.
- Uses Vue 2 (an older version of a JavaScript framework for building user interfaces), which is past its active support window.
- AGPL-3.0 licence (a strict legal agreement that forces you to share your source code if you modify this app and let others use it over a network) means you must share code changes if you offer this publicly.
