Voke FAQ

Voke is a calendar assistant made by Zack and Paulius. You can think of Voke like “Tinder for canceling meetings.” 😄

Frequently asked questions

  • Swipe left to quietly vote to skip a meeting.
  • Swipe right to keep it.
  • If everyone swipes left on a meeting, the meeting is canceled!

It means your swipe to cancel the meeting is kept secret unless and until everyone in the meeting votes to cancel the meeting.

It means you should not hesitate to swipe left (vote to cancel) any meeting you don’t believe is worth your time!

Yes; only if everyone swipes left will attendees know which way you swiped.

$8/month or $79/year. We don’t currently offer a free plan because, well, we need to earn an income 🙂

Yes, to an extent.

Set your Voke up to internal-only if you’d like to include meeting attendees with email that share your @domain. Example: a Voke customer with the domain tom@microsoft.com sets their Voke to internal-only. Only meetings where 100% of attendees with emails ending in @microsoft.com will receive emails from Voke to keep or cancel the meeting.

If your Voke is set up to include all-meetings or if you use a personal email account, all recipients on your calendar will receive emails.

You can control this setting anytime by clicking your profile picture in the top right corner of the page (Settings).

You will receive one email each day at 6 am your time.

People in your meetings will receive an email at 6 am their time (the best we can tell).

Depending on your Voke setup, only people internal to your company may receive emails.

No; only if everyone votes to cancel will the meeting be canceled (which will reveal the fact that everyone wanted to cancel).

A meeting is canceled once everyone in the meeting swipes left.

No, only you need an account for this to work. Voke works through email. Each morning, we ask all meeting attendees (depending on how you set up your Voke) to swipe left or right on the meeting.

Zack and Paulius, two early teammates at Loom (which also saves you from bad meetings… sensing a theme? 🙂)

So you get value even if no one else in your meetings has a Voke account. This lets us email meeting attendees asking them to swipe on meetings. When everyone swipes left, meeting canceled!

No one knows which way you vote unless everyone swipes left to skip the meeting. This way, you avoid asking people "Hey.. do we really need this meeting?”
