The free scheduling poll for daily standups
Timespree is a free daily standup scheduler that finds one recurring time your whole team can hit. Share a single link, let everyone shade the early-morning hours they're actually free, and the heatmap shows the fixed slot that survives across time zones.
No account required to respond. Your poll link is ready in under a minute.

Why scheduling this is hard
A standup only works if it's the same time every day, so one person's recurring conflict sinks the whole slot.
A 9 AM standup for the coast means a 6 AM or midnight standup for teammates in other zones.
Every new hire, contractor, or team reshuffle forces you to re-litigate the standup time all over again.
How the poll works
Create your poll
Pick the dates and time range you want to offer. Your shareable link is ready in under a minute.
Share one link
Send it wherever your group already talks. Nobody needs an account to respond, on any device.
Read the heatmap
Every response shades the grid. The darkest slot is your time. Done.
Why Timespree fits
Find the one time that repeats
Standups live or die on consistency. The heatmap surfaces the single early slot with the deepest overlap, so the recurring time actually sticks.
Local time for every dev
A teammate in Berlin shades their morning, one in Austin shades theirs, and Timespree converts automatically so the fixed slot is fair, not brutal, for someone.
Calendar overlay while responding
Devs can overlay Google, Outlook, or Apple busy times so the standup doesn't collide with an existing recurring 1:1 or sprint ceremony.
Re-poll in seconds when the team changes
Onboarding a new engineer? Spin up a fresh poll, drop the link in Slack, and reconfirm the slot without a reply-all thread.
A real example
A platform team split across San Francisco, Austin, and Berlin needs to move their broken 7 AM standup. The lead creates a poll for the 7–11 AM Pacific window, drops the link in Slack, and each dev shades the mornings they're free in their own time zone. By lunch the heatmap shows a solid band at 8:15–8:30 AM Pacific (5:15 PM Berlin) that every region can live with daily.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I find a daily standup time across time zones?
- Create a Timespree poll for the early window you're considering. Each teammate shades their free mornings in their own local time, and Timespree converts automatically. The heatmap shows the recurring slot with the deepest overlap, so no region gets stuck at a painful hour.
- Do we set this up once or every day?
- Once. You poll to find the recurring slot, then book that same time daily in your calendar tool. Only re-poll when the team changes or the current time stops working for someone.
- Do developers need an account to respond?
- No. Anyone with the link shades their availability instantly on phone or laptop. Only the organizer running multiple polls might want an optional account.
