Stop herding people. Just text Chrono.
Chrono is your time hunting companion. Add the people you want to see, and Chrono asks them when they're free, in a normal text conversation. No app to install. No links to copy. No spreadsheets.
US toll-free SMS · Message and data rates may apply · Reply STOP any time
Three steps. Nobody has to learn anything new.
The whole point is that it feels like texting a friend who’s really good at scheduling.
- 01Step 1 of 3
Tell Chrono what you’re planning
Title, rough duration, and up to ten people who agreed to receive an SMS invite. Takes about a minute.
- 02Step 2 of 3
Chrono asks everyone, in plain English
No links, no apps. Each person gets a friendly text. They reply however they normally talk: “saturdays after 6”, “the first week of June”, “not mondays”.

Review the best options
Ranked options appear in your dashboard as replies arrive. Host locking, confirmation texts, and calendar downloads are still being completed for the private beta.
A normal text reply. No new app.
Your friends see a regular SMS from Chrono. They reply however they want. Chrono turns the reply into availability you can review in the dashboard.
- Replies in natural language — no menus to navigate
- Ranked suggestions update in the host dashboard
- Reply STOP at any time to opt out
A friendly assistant who happens to be a dog
Chrono isn’t an app. There’s no “chatbot” vibe. He’s just there in your messages, getting the time pinned down.
Talks like a person
“Fridays after 6”, “any time the week of the 14th”, “not mornings” — Chrono understands them all.
Keeps the host informed
Parsed replies and ranked time suggestions appear in one dashboard as people respond.
Understands deferrals
Chrono recognizes replies such as “remind me tomorrow.” Follow-up timing is still being hardened during the beta.
Privacy-first
Your contacts stay yours and STOP blocks future texts. Deletion requests are handled manually while automated purge is being completed.
The stuff people ask first
Do my friends need to install anything?+
No. Chrono texts them, and they reply by SMS like they would to anyone else. Participants do not need an account or an app.
Is this an AI chatbot?+
Chrono isn't trying to be a chatbot. He's a small, focused assistant for one thing: pinning down a time. He understands natural-language replies under the hood, but you'll never feel like you're talking to a robot.
What if someone doesn't want texts from Chrono?+
They reply STOP. Chrono records the opt-out globally and blocks future messages to that number unless the person opts back in.
How much does it cost?+
Free during the controlled private beta. Launch pricing has not been set; it will be based on measured messaging cost and completion data.
Where do you keep my data?+
On Microsoft Azure in the United States. Automated event-data purge is not yet enabled across every record type, so private-beta deletion requests are handled manually.
