Hotline
Pick a time that works.
Civic and public-interest teams keep sensitive things on their calendars. You shouldn't have to hand over the whole thing just to get a meeting on the books — so with Hotline you hand-pick a few times, share one link, and the other person taps one. Scheduling built for civic and public-interest teams.
A host picks two to five specific slots for a single meeting and shares one link; the other person confirms in a tap from their phone. It works with the calendar you already keep — iCloud or Outlook, no Google required — and 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
- Your whole calendar stays private. The host offers a short list of times instead of exposing full availability. That is the whole point for teams whose calendars are sensitive.
- Works with the calendar you keep. Connects to iCloud or Outlook, with no Google account required.
- One link, one tap. The other person picks a time from their phone in a single tap, on a page built for mobile.
- Built on Cal.com. A trusted open-source scheduling engine underneath, with the proposal workflow and branded booking page layered on top.
Why we built this
Civic and public-interest teams' calendars are sensitive — they hold meetings, plans, and people that aren't anyone else's business. Most scheduling tools work by exposing your availability wholesale, which is exactly the wrong default for this kind of work.
We wanted the opposite: give people a few good options instead of your whole calendar. A host proposes a handful of times, shares one link, and the other person picks one from their phone — connected to iCloud or Outlook, with no Google account in the middle. It's the proposal workflow layered on the trusted Cal.com engine, so the scheduling stays solid and the experience stays simple.
