What is Huddlr?

Huddlr is a free group planning app. Start a plan for dinner, drinks, a birthday or a weekend away, and invite your friends. Huddlr uses everyone's usual free times to suggest when to meet, then the group votes on the time and the place.

The organiser locks it in, everyone gets reminders and can add it to their calendar, and afterwards Huddlr splits the costs. It works on the web today, with iPhone and Android apps coming soon.

How it works

From "we should catch up" to locked in.

Three steps, and nobody has to chase anyone.

  1. Start a plan

    Pick what you're doing and roughly when. Invite your group, or drop a share link into the group chat.

  2. Huddlr finds the times

    Everyone's usual free times fill in straight away. People confirm or tweak theirs, and the best windows rise to the top.

  3. Vote and lock it in

    The group votes on times and places. Lock it in, or let the reply-by deadline do it. Reminders go out before it starts.

Features

Everything a group needs to actually meet up.

Finds a time that works

Set your usual free times once. Every plan starts from them, so good times show up before anyone replies.

Votes, not threads

Yes, maybe or no on each time and place. Everyone can see what's winning, and nobody gets lost in the chat.

Places that suit everyone

Suggestions based on what the group likes, dietary needs, budget and how easy it is for everyone to get there.

No account needed

Friends join from an invite or share link with just their name. No app download, no password.

Split the costs

Add the Airbnb, dinner or tickets. Huddlr works out who owes whom, and you can pay by PayID in a tap.

Reminders that help

Nudges before the deadline, reminders before it starts, and a calendar invite. Mute any plan you like.

Built for the group chat

One link. Everyone's in.

Share a plan's link wherever your group already talks. Friends tap it, add their name and their times, and they're part of the plan.

  • Guests can add their times, vote, chat and settle up
  • Choose who the link works for: anyone, your group, or only people you invited
  • If a guest signs up later, their plans come with them

Cost splitting

Settle up without the awkward texts.

Add expenses as you go. Huddlr keeps the balances and works out the fewest payments to square everyone up.

  • Split equally, between some people, by shares, by percentage or by exact amounts
  • Copy a friend's PayID or bank details and mark it paid
  • Regular groups settle across all their plans at once

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is Huddlr?

Huddlr is a free group planning app. You start a plan, invite your friends, and Huddlr works out the times that suit everyone from their usual availability. The group votes on times and places, the organiser locks it in, and everyone gets reminders. It can also split the costs afterwards.

Is Huddlr free?

Yes. Huddlr is free to use. A free account can run up to three active groups, and you can join as many plans as you like.

Do my friends need an account or the app to join a plan?

No. Anyone you invite, or anyone with the plan's share link, can join as a guest with just their name and an email or mobile number. Guests can add their times, vote, chat and settle up. If they create an account later, their plans come with them.

How does Huddlr find a time that works?

Everyone sets their usual free times once. Every plan starts from those, so likely times appear before anyone has replied. People confirm or adjust their times for a plan, and Huddlr ranks the windows where the most people are free. The group then votes yes, maybe or no on the best options.

Can Huddlr help choose where to go?

Yes. Huddlr suggests venues near the group, based on what people like, dietary needs and budget, and on how easy each place is for everyone to get to. You can also browse a map of places and add any of them to a plan for the group to vote on.

How does splitting costs work?

Anyone with an account can add an expense to a plan, such as dinner, an Airbnb or tickets. Split it equally, between some people, by shares, by percentage or by exact amounts. Huddlr works out who owes whom in as few payments as possible. You can copy someone's PayID or bank details to pay them, then mark it as paid.
