Three steps.

In TimeLoop, tap Share my free time and pick a name: trytimeloop.com/@yourname. Choose the days it offers, the hours, and whether a time lasts 30, 60 or 90 minutes.
- 2Share it
Send the link in a message, put it in your bio, post a picture of your free times as a story, or show its QR code to someone in person.
- 3Answer
Each request comes as a notification. Accept, decline, or offer another time. Accepted, it is a fixed event in your day, and the guest gets an invitation by e-mail.

What it does for you.
Only real free time
The page offers the gaps in your plan: around your calendar events, the tasks TimeLoop has placed and the gap you keep between things.
Nothing private on the page
Guests see the name you chose, the few words and picture you add, the link’s title and the free times. Nothing from your plan, and never your e-mail address.
Requests, not bookings
A time someone picks is held for you until you answer. Your day changes only when you accept.
No account for guests
A guest gives a name and an e-mail address, sees the times in their own time zone, and hears from you by e-mail.
What the page shows
Your page shows the name you chose for it with your initial, or your profile picture if you switch that on, a few words about you if you add them (up to 200 letters), the link’s title if you gave one (Coffee?, Intro call) and how long a time lasts. Under that is a month with the days that have free time marked, and the times of the day the guest picks. Someone in another country sees the times in their own time zone, with a line saying where you are.
When the link is shared, its preview is a picture of your free times. From the phone, Share as story makes the same picture in the size of a story, for Instagram or WhatsApp. The link also has a QR code: a phone’s camera opens your page from it, so you can show it at a desk or print it.
How the free times are found
The times come from the scheduler that plans your day. It takes the free stretches between getting up and going to bed, around everything already planned, events from Apple Calendar, Google Calendar and Outlook included. It keeps your usual gap between things, leaves out time held by requests still waiting for your answer, and starts each time on a quarter of an hour. The first time offered is at least half an hour away.
The rest is yours to set under Booking link: today, tomorrow, the next 7 days or this week; the whole day or certain hours; and the length.
When you answer
The guest gets a letter that the request was sent, with a link to withdraw it while it waits. If they do, the time is free again and you are told.
Accept puts the time in your day as a fixed event, named after the link and the guest, and invites the guest by e-mail, from Google Calendar when yours is connected. Decline sends a kind note that the time does not work out, and the guest’s name and address are then deleted. Another time lets you offer one of your own free times of the same length; the guest gets a letter with a link to take it or say no.
People in your circles can get their time at once, if you switch that on. Everyone else waits for your yes.
What it does not do
TimeLoop plans one person’s day, and the booking link is one part of that. It takes no payments, has no team or round-robin scheduling, cannot be embedded in a website, and asks guests for a name and an e-mail address only. You have one link, with one length at a time.
If you sell sessions, need questions answered before a booking or book for a team, a scheduling tool made for that fits better. The comparison with Calendly says which parts.
Free, and where it runs
The booking link is free; it does not need TimeLoop Pro. You make it and answer requests in TimeLoop on iPhone, on Android and in a browser, signed in to your account. A guest needs only the link.
Asked before you asked.
Is the booking link free?
Yes. Making the link, sharing it and answering requests are free, without TimeLoop Pro. Guests pay nothing and need no account.
Does a booking go straight into my day?
No. Every time a guest picks is a request. It becomes a fixed event in your day only when you accept, and the guest is then invited by e-mail.
What do guests see of my day?
Only the free times, the name you chose for the page, the link’s title, and the few words and picture you add if you do. No event titles, places or people, and never your e-mail address.
Can I share my free time on Instagram?
Yes. Put the link in your bio, or choose Share as story on your phone for a picture of your free times to post.
How far ahead can people book?
As far as you choose: today, tomorrow, the next 7 days or the rest of this week. Inside that, the whole day or certain hours, in times of 30, 60 or 90 minutes.
Is there a QR code for my link?
Yes. Every link has one. A phone’s camera opens your page from it, so you can show it in person or print it.
Can one person ask for many times?
One e-mail address can have three requests waiting for your answer. A time someone asked for is held and not offered to anyone else until you answer.
Both give you a link where people pick a time with you. Calendly is built around the meeting. TimeLoop is built around your day, and the link is one part of it.
