Hotline
Pick a time that works.
Get booked without sharing your whole calendar. Hand-pick a few times, share one link — they tap one, you're set. Hotline is scheduling for civic and public-interest teams.
A host hand-picks two to five specific slots for a single meeting and shares one link; the recipient confirms in a single tap — no account, mobile-first. It's built on the Cal.com scheduling engine, with the propose experience and branded booking page as a thin layer on top.
What makes it different
- Propose a few times, not your whole calendar. The host offers a short list of slots instead of exposing full availability.
- One link, one tap. The recipient confirms without creating an account or installing anything.
- Mobile-first and branded. The booking page is designed for a phone and carries the host's identity, not a generic scheduler's.
- Built on Cal.com. A trusted open-source scheduling engine underneath, with the proposal workflow layered on top.
Why we built this
Civic and public-interest teams schedule with people who won't make an account — volunteers, constituents, partners — and most tools ask them to. Those tools also expose a host's whole calendar and carry a corporate feel that's out of place in public work.
We wanted scheduling that respects both sides: the host offers a few deliberate times, and the other person confirms in a single tap from their phone. Hotline is that — the proposal workflow layered on the trusted Cal.com engine, so the scheduling stays solid and the experience stays simple.
