Our group chat had 47 messages debating where to go for spring break. I created a vote, shared the link, and we had our answer in 20 minutes. Should’ve done this years ago.

What Families Are Saying
Real experiences from families who stopped arguing and started voting
The weighted voting is genius. Our kids kept voting for waterparks, but with parents having 2x weight, we ended up with a balanced itinerary everyone was happy with.
We use this for everything now—restaurants, activities, even which hotel to book. The anonymous mode is a lifesaver with teenagers who won’t speak up in front of siblings.
The Problem
Why Voting Beats Arguing
It’s not that your family can’t agree—it’s that group chats are terrible for decisions
67%
of family vacation arguments start with “where should we...”
The average family spends 3+ hours debating destinations, restaurants, and activities
Everyone Gets a Voice
Kids feel included in the decision, which builds excitement for the trip. No more “we never get to pick” complaints—everyone voted, everyone’s heard.
Parents Keep Control
Weighted voting means parents’ votes count more. Your kids’ waterpark obsession gets heard, but adults guide the final decision responsibly.
Zero Arguments, Real Results
A clear winner in minutes, not hours. No more being the “bad guy” who decides everything alone—the vote decides, and everyone respects the outcome.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How does weighted voting work?
Weighted voting lets you assign different vote weights to family members. For example, parents can have 2x voting weight while kids get 1x. This ensures everyone’s voice is heard while parents maintain appropriate influence over decisions like budget and safety.
Do voters need to create an account?
No! Only the vote creator needs an account. Voters simply click the shared link or enter a vote code—no sign-up, no app download, no email required. They just enter their name and vote.
Can kids participate in the vote?
Absolutely! That’s one of the main benefits. Kids feel included in the decision-making process, which builds excitement for the trip. Use weighted voting so their preferences count while parents still guide the final decision.
What is anonymous voting mode?
Anonymous mode hides who voted for what until the vote is closed. This is especially helpful with:
- Teens who might feel pressure to agree with parents
- Extended family where politics get tricky
- Any situation where you want honest preferences without social influence
What vote types are available?
Four types to match your decision:
- Single Choice — Pick one option (best for simple decisions)
- Ranked Choice — Rank options in order of preference
- Approval Voting — Approve all acceptable options
- Yes/No — Simple thumbs up or down on a single proposal
What is a consensus threshold?
A consensus threshold sets the minimum percentage of votes an option needs to win. For example, setting it to 60% means an option needs at least 60% of the vote to be declared the winner. If no option reaches the threshold, the vote stays open for more discussion.
Can I set a voting deadline?
Yes! Set an optional deadline for when voting closes. This is helpful when you need a decision by a certain date—like booking a hotel before prices go up. Voters see the remaining time, and the vote automatically closes at the deadline.
Can I use this for non-travel decisions?
Of course! While designed for family travel, the voting tool works for any group decision—movie night, dinner choices, weekend plans, or any time you need consensus with a group.
