How It Works
Create an Availability Form
Pick your dates and time range. Set it to expire or keep it open. Save as a template for recurring use.
Share a Link
Send it via text, WhatsApp, or email. Respondents drag to mark their available times — no sign-up required.
Build & Publish
See who's available, assign times, track coverage. Publish the schedule and your team can view it or add shifts to their calendar.

Why It Works
Traditional scheduling assigns people first and hopes they show up. ScheduleMaker flips it — collect real availability first, then build the schedule around it. The result: fewer no-shows, less back-and-forth, and a schedule everyone already agreed to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do my team members need an account?
No. Team members receive a link, mark their availability, and submit. No sign-up, no app download, no passwords.
How does this reduce no-shows?
Traditional scheduling assigns people and hopes they show up. ScheduleMaker collects real availability first, so every assignment is based on a commitment the person already made.
What types of teams can use this?
Any team that needs to coordinate schedules: restaurants, retail, volunteer groups, tutoring centers, fitness studios, freelance teams, healthcare clinics, and more.
Can my team add their shifts to their calendar?
Yes. Once a schedule is published, team members can view their shifts and download them as a calendar file (.ics) that works with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook.
