Stop planning.
Start showing up.

Everyone marks when they're free. Planora finds the hours that actually overlap, the group votes, and the plan confirms itself: time, place, done. No forty-message thread that ends in nobody going.

Watch a plan settle itself

Recorded from the real app: two people mark their free hours, vote, pick a place, and the plan confirms itself.

Five steps, and the app does four of them

The only thing anyone has to actually do is say when they're free and tap a vote.

  1. Start a planGive it a name. Share the link. People join by tapping it. No accounts to look up, no adding anyone by hand.
  2. Drag when you're freeA week grid. Drag across the hours that work. That's the whole input.
  3. The app finds the overlapIt works out the three hours that suit the most people and opens a vote on them. Nobody compares calendars.
  4. Vote on the placeWhoever started it shortlists two or three real venues. The group picks. One place and everyone agrees? It skips the vote.
  5. It confirms itselfWhen the votes settle, the plan locks in, announces itself in the chat, and lands on your calendar with the address.

Why it's different

Three decisions that make it feel unlike a group chat.

🗳️

Nobody overrules the group

The person who started the plan can rename it. That's it. They can't move the time or change the place after a vote. The database itself refuses.

⏱️

Plans can't stall

A vote closes as soon as the result can't change, and always within 24 hours whether anyone opens the app or not. No plan sits waiting on one person forever.

🙈

Your calendar stays yours

Other people see the hours you marked for that one plan. Not your week, not your other plans, not your email address. There is no tracking and there are no ads.

Installing it

Planora isn't on the Play Store. You're downloading it straight from us. Android will ask you to confirm that once. That's normal for a direct download, and here's exactly what you'll see.

  1. Tap downloadThe file is planora.apk. Your browser may warn that this type of file can harm your device. That warning appears for every APK, including safe ones. Choose Download anyway.
  2. Open itTap the file in your notifications or in Downloads.
  3. Allow this one installAndroid asks whether to allow installs from your browser. Turn it on for that app, go back, and tap Install. You only do this once.
  4. Open PlanoraMake an account with an email or with Google, pick a name, and you're in.

Questions people actually ask

Why isn't it on the Play Store?

Google charges a fee, requires an identity check, and makes a new personal developer account run a two-week closed test with twelve people before anything goes public. Handing you the file directly skips all of that, and you get updates the day they're made rather than the day a review finishes.

Is it safe to install something from outside the store?

The risk with an APK is not knowing who built it or whether it was tampered with on the way to you. This one is served over HTTPS from the address in your URL bar, and the SHA-256 checksum above lets you confirm the file you got is byte-for-byte the one we published. The source is public too; the link is in the footer.

How do I get updates?

Come back to this page and download it again; installing over the top keeps your account and your plans. There's no auto-update, which is the honest trade for not being in a store.

Is there an iPhone version?

Not yet. Apple doesn't allow installing outside the App Store, so an iOS release has to go through review. That's a later job. Your plans live in the cloud, so an iPhone friend can be added the moment it exists.

What does it cost?

Nothing. There's no paid tier, no ads and nothing is sold on.

What do you collect?

Your email, your display name, and the plans you're in. No analytics, no tracking, no cookies. You can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app. The full detail is in the privacy policy.
