Joynit: A French Alternative to Google Calendar and Doodle
A Simple, Intuitive Tool for Managing Your Events & Schedules
In a digital landscape dominated by American products, Joynit stands out as an alternative to Google Calendar — ethical, easy to use, and perfectly tailored for small businesses, nonprofits, municipalities, and freelancers. Accessible via web or mobile, Joynit is much more than a shared calendar: it’s a collective coordination tool built for real life.
Unlike solutions like Google Calendar or Doodle, Joynit doesn’t require mandatory registration, doesn’t mandate a Gmail address, and guarantees a smooth user experience — even for those less familiar with digital tools.

Why Look for an Alternative to Google Calendar?
Google Calendar is widespread, but often seen as rigid, too technical, or intrusive for certain organizations. To use its full set of features, every user needs a Google account — creating a barrier in many professional or community contexts.
Joynit addresses these issues by offering:
The ability to create a shared calendar without requiring every member to have an account
Simple, clear access permissions
Hosting in France with strong privacy protections
Simplified participation via a single shared link
In short: Joynit is the ideal alternative to Google Calendar for those seeking an accessible, respectful, collaborative tool that’s built with local values.
Use Case #1: Public Event Calendars
Organizing meetings, workshops, public events, or office hours? Joynit lets you set up a public or private event calendar, viewable online via a custom link. Members, clients, or the public can:
Browse upcoming events
RSVP easily, without creating an account
Receive automatic reminders
It’s the perfect tool for nonprofits, cultural centers, municipalities, or collectives needing a simple event scheduling calendar. You can even embed the Joynit calendar directly into your website for seamless visibility.

Use Case #2: Managing Team Schedules or Field Service
Small outfits — artisans, small businesses, field teams — often need to coordinate schedules without using overly complex or expensive software. Joynit lets you:
Create a visual shared calendar
Assign tasks, shifts, or visits
Give tailored editing rights
Keep everything in sync with an intuitive mobile app
Again, no Google account needed. Joynit works with any email address — a real alternative to Google Calendar for professionals.

If you’re looking for a simple, secure, inclusive alternative to Google or Doodle, Joynit is among the best options out there.

Easy Member & Access Management
Thinking shared calendars will get complex? You’re not alone. Google’s or Microsoft’s sharing settings can overwhelm users. Joynit is built to be simple and effective — arguably the easiest calendar to set up and share.
“Setup and adoption were very quick. Our small team of 7 people is satisfied. Daily use on web and mobile.” — Marion D., Electric Installation “Joynit helped us better organize our tour events. Fewer messages, fewer oversights, smoother operation.” — Simon B., Cultural Association

Interactive Features That Save You Time
Tired of endless back-and-forths to fix a date? Each Joynit event can include integrated polls:
Suggest date or location polls
Share documents and photos
Break down into time slots
Use a chat for any necessary communication
Unlike Doodle, these polls are built right into the event, avoiding multiple platforms and keeping everything in one place. A real clarity and efficiency boost.

A Unique Approach: Task & Appointment Assignment
Joynit offers classic calendar views (day, week, month) — but also extras very useful for managing resources and assigning tasks.
Color coding
Timeline over 1 to 90 days
Filters by type and by people
Another key difference: with Google Calendar, every event needs an organizer defined from the start. Joynit lets you create events without assigning a person up front. You can plan tasks, interventions, or project phases ahead, then assign the right person when the time comes. This is especially useful for field teams or organizations needing flexibility.
