"We need to get together!" turns into months without a plan. LockInStep turns it into a date on the calendar: offer a few nights, vote on a spot, and lock it in.
How to plan it with LockInStep
- Connect your calendar. Link Google or Outlook so LockInStep only offers times you're free. It sees busy times only, never event details.
- Pick "girls night". Choose the activity and LockInStep suggests good times for it. Add a cover photo if you like.
- Share one link. Text it, email it or drop it in the group chat. Guests don't need an app or an account.
- Vote on when and where. Everyone marks the times that work and votes on the spot. You see the favorite at a glance.
- Lock it in. Pick the winner. Everyone gets the details and an add-to-calendar button, and you get alerts as people RSVP.
Tips
- Offer a few weeknights and a weekend night.
- Let everyone suggest a place, then vote.
- Book a ride from the invite.
- Set it to repeat monthly so the next one is already on the calendar.

How does LockInStep find a time that works?
