SavvyCal - Sending your scheduling link shouldn't feel weird.

👋 Derrick here, founder of SavvyCal You might know me from Drip (acquired in 2016), Codetree (acquired in 2016), Level (shutdown in 2019), or StaticKit (acquired in 2020). So when I started exploring the idea for my next product, I came back to a seemingly age-old problem: meeting scheduling. 🤔 The problem There are a hundred and one scheduling tools to help you avoid the awkward dance of finding a time to meet. While most of them are convenient for the person sending a link to book a time with them, are they actually convenient for the person receiving the link? Looking back at the times when we used to exchange 10 emails to find a time to meet feels like the dark ages. But the scheduling tools of today still put the burden on the recipient, which can be even more inconvenient than trading emails in the first place. 🛠 The solution Using a scheduling tool should be just as easy for the recipient as it is for the sender. Why the folks you’re sending your scheduling link to will love SavvyCal: - Personalize links to make a great impression while also reducing the steps needed to schedule a time. - Allow recipients to overlay their calendar on top of yours to instantly find a time that works for everyone. - Offer multiple meeting durations so recipients can book as little or as much time as they need. - Proposed times removes the ambiguity of selecting a time and make scheduling a 1-click experience. Why you’ll be glad you switched to SavvyCal: - Ranked availability enables you to set preferred times you’d like to meet without constraining your availability. - Frequency limits keep your calendar from becoming overwhelming so you still have time for Deep Work. - Check for conflicts across multiple calendars and set which calendar you want to store each meeting in. - Preview and manually allow or block off time before sending so never have to worry about your availability. 😸 Let me know what you think!

The almost unwritten taboo of scheduling links has led to me apologetically asking if people are okay with me sending one. I've dabbled with Calendly, HubSpot, Drift - all of which have bring nothing unique to the table. I'd reluctantly settled on Calendly since I needed something to book in guests for my podcast, Indie Bites. That is, of course, until I saw Derrick had launched SavvyCal. I signed up because the problem he was trying to solve could stop me from having to ask people before sending a meeting link (which is mad, right?). Since then, I couldn't be happier with how much better the product is getting. Derrick has been shipping new features rapidly to make this the best scheduling experience possible, for both the sender and recipient. I'm a happy paying customer and will be for the foreseeable future.

SavvyCal is fantastic! I had this exact idea stored in my startup ideas notebook and then @derrickreimer came along and built a way better product than I ever could. 😜 The ranked availability and personalized links are seriously a game-changer. Happy customer! 👋

Highly recommend! Simple and yet powerful. One of the best designed scheduling experiences out there.

Been using SavvyCal as an alternative to Calendly for a few months now. It’s a much better alternative.

I'm a fan of pretty much anything @derrickreimer builds, so I was an early user of SavvyCal. Within a few days I knew I wasn't going back to Calendly. We moved our team onto SavvyCal within a few weeks and haven't looked back. It's great to see this re-thinking of scheduling to avoid the awkwardness and drudgery of booking a time to meet. And from what I know of the roadmap, there's more awesomeness coming.

If you've ever used a scheduling tool like Calendly or heck even tried to schedule using Google Calendar and back and forth emails you NEED to check out SavvyCal. It's simply better and more focused on reducing the time it takes to schedule a meeting for everyone involved. It's free for 7-days and totally worth your time to check out! If you're not interested in a tool like this but are involved in building software products, you should check it out too. The usability of SavvyCal is top notch.

I've been using Savvycal for a couple of months and I really like it. The calendar view works really well and I like the features of selecting meeting lengths (I'm a fan of short meetings), blocking/unblocking time outside of the normal schedule, connecting to multiple calendars. It's a product that's evolving to very closely match the ideal that I have in my head of what a booking product should be.

I switched to SavvyCal from Calendly last summer because I'm addicted to products that sweat the details (while keeping everything as simple -- and beautiful -- as possible)... and I couldn't be happier. Have highly encouraged my friends and family to experience the difference. For a utility you use a lot, it's worth upgrading!

We have been using SavvyCal throughout 2020 at Mailbrew and couldn't be happier. What a great product! Congrats Derrick and Corey on the launch 👏
