ZeitFinder

One online planner for shared and individual appointments

ZeitFinder connects an availability poll with the planning that follows. First collect your group’s availability. Then find a shared meeting or assign people to separate appointment slots. Everything runs in the browser on computers and phones.

Time windows instead of fixed meeting options

Choose days and time windows, such as Monday to Friday from 2 to 8 pm. Participants mark their actual availability within them, dragging with a mouse on a computer or swiping over time cells on a phone. Joining through the shared participant link requires no account.

Available and preferred times remain distinct. This shows both when someone is free and which windows suit them best. Use weekdays for recurring planning or specific dates for one-off events.

PROCESS

How it works

  1. Create

    Define possible planning days and time windows in a scheduling poll.

  2. Share

    Share the participant link and collect availability. Choose each person's duration and frequency, plus your planning settings.

  3. Analysis

    Plan with the solver or optional AI, review the result and export it.

Your planning options

Manage the poll and its results separately

Share only the participant link with your group. Use the private admin link to manage the poll and analyse its results. If comments are enabled, participants can add requests in their own words alongside their time windows.

Free solver or optional AI analysis

Direct solver planning needs no AI credits. The solver assigns appointments using availability, durations and planning settings. Depending on the settings, it considers compact days and additional gaps between appointments.

Optional AI can process new planning requests, use the solver or make targeted edits to an existing plan. Free-text requests and details such as instrument or lesson level are considered in AI analysis. A targeted edit is not automatically a new overall optimisation.

Review and use your timetable

Review the proposal and its notes. Depending on the result, export it as a PDF or for a calendar. Optional AI analysis also supports changes and design adjustments within an existing ZeitFinder timetable.

Frequently asked questions

Do participants need an account?

No. They enter availability through the participant link. Use the private admin link to manage and analyse the poll.

Can appointment lengths vary?

Yes. Set a separate duration for each person during planning, for example 30, 45 or 60 minutes.

Can ZeitFinder plan fortnightly appointments?

Yes. Choose weekly or fortnightly appointments per person. Where availability allows, two people can use the same slot on alternating weeks.

Do I need AI for automatic timetable planning?

No. The direct ZeitFinder solver creates individual timetables for free without AI credits. Optional AI analysis uses AI credit, including when it uses the solver.
