Parallel - Fair meeting rotation for global teams

by
When teams span time zones, someone takes the early or late call. Parallel rotates who adjusts so the inconvenience is shared over time.

Hey everyone 👋 One thing I kept noticing in global teams is that recurring meetings are rarely actually “fair.” There’s usually a “least bad” time — and then it just… stays that way. Which means the same people end up joining late at night or early morning every single week. It’s not that teams don’t care — it’s just that existing tools don’t really support anything else. They help you find a time once, but not manage fairness over time. That’s what led me to build Parallel. Instead of optimizing for a single perfect slot, Parallel treats scheduling as something that happens over weeks — making the trade-offs visible and rotating inconvenient times so the burden is shared. The goal isn’t perfect equality — it’s intentional fairness. Curious how others handle this today: do your teams ever rotate meeting times, or do you usually stick to one schedule?
