About
Doodle is a battle-tested online scheduling platform that has helped millions of professionals and organizations coordinate meetings without the back-and-forth email chaos. Trusted by the world's leading companies for nearly two decades, Doodle simplifies group availability polling, one-on-one booking, and team coordination through an intuitive web interface. Built in Switzerland, Doodle holds enterprise-grade compliance certifications including SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and Cyber Verify Level III — making it a trusted choice for regulated industries and privacy-conscious organizations. Doodle is now evolving beyond scheduling links with the launch of Doodle Time OS — an ambient AI layer designed to make scheduling as a distinct activity disappear entirely. Rather than filling calendars, Doodle Time OS aims to restore human agency over time: surfacing coordination overhead, aligning actual time investment with stated priorities, and automating decisions in a transparent, reversible way. Ideal for professionals, teams, and enterprises who want to reclaim meaningful time from unnecessary meetings, Doodle gives individuals clarity over their schedules while giving organizations intelligence about how collective time is truly spent — without surveillance or micromanagement. Whether you're coordinating a one-off meeting or rethinking how your organization manages time at scale, Doodle provides the tools to make time human again.
