About Free-ish
Making Plans Shouldn't Be This Hard
You know the drill. Someone drops a "we should hang out this weekend" into the group text, and suddenly forty-seven messages later, nobody has agreed on a time, a place, or even what you're doing. Half the group stopped responding twelve messages ago, and the other half is debating between tacos and bowling like it's a supreme court case.
Free-ish is the app that turns that chaos into an actual plan. It's a social gathering tool that helps groups decide the when, the what, and the where -- without the endless back-and-forth that makes you want to cancel the whole thing.
How It All Started
Free-ish was born out of pure frustration. Our founder was tired of the same routine: someone would suggest getting together, the group text would explode with conflicting schedules and half-baked ideas, and more often than not the plans would just... fizzle out. Sound familiar?
Instead of accepting defeat by group text, she decided to build something better. Something that would let everyone have a say, keep things organized, and actually land on a plan that works. No more scrolling through a hundred messages just to figure out if Saturday at 7 works for everyone. No more "I'm fine with whatever" followed by vetoing every suggestion.
That's how Free-ish came to life -- a tool built by someone who just wanted to hang out with her friends without needing a project manager to make it happen.
What Makes Free-ish Different
Free-ish isn't just another poll app. It's a complete gathering planning experience built around one idea: everyone's voice matters, and plans should come together smoothly. Here's how it works:
- Multi-round ranked-choice voting -- Decide timing, activities, and venues across multiple voting rounds. Rank your preferences, veto what doesn't work, and let the best option rise to the top.
- Real-time updates -- See votes and suggestions come in live. No refreshing, no guessing, no "did everyone vote yet?" messages.
- Easy invitations -- Invite friends via email or SMS. They can even participate as guests without creating an account.
- AI-powered suggestions -- Stuck on where to go or what to do? Let AI generate venue and activity ideas tailored to your gathering.
- Calendar integration -- Connect your Google Calendar and finalized gatherings automatically show up on your calendar. One less thing to remember.
Let's Make Plans
Whether it's a casual dinner with friends, a weekend adventure, or a birthday bash that actually happens on time -- Free-ish is here to help you go from "we should do something" to "see you there." Because life's too short to spend it in a group text.
Go have fun, y'all!

Oh, and for my fellow software engineers out there navigating this absolutely crazy ride we're all on right now - in case you're curious - I started this late January 2026, and finished this complete app by mid February. 3 weeks of only a handful of weeknights and 2 full weekends while still working 40+ hrs/wk in my fulltime engineering job (and also training for an ultra!). Thanks to Claude, of course. Unleash the creativity, my friends.
