Make weekend plans the whole group says yes to
Weekend plans die by thumbs-up reactions. Someone suggests a hike, someone else says “maybe,” and by Saturday afternoon everyone is home. A Rankd asks for a real answer. Add three to six ideas on Thursday, send the link, and let everyone rank them. The plan with the best overall ranking happens, and the people who ranked it high have every reason to show up.
- Hike and a picnic
- Farmers market and brunch
- Movie and dinner
- Bowling night
- Flea market and thrifting
- Rooftop drinks
Free. Edit the options, then send one link to your group.
Why ranking beats a regular poll here
- Everyone ranks every idea, so “maybe” stops being an answer.
- Mixing day and night plans shows what the group has energy for this week.
- A Friday reveal gives you a plan before Saturday slips away.
How it works
- Add the question and 3 to 30 options
- Send one private link to the group
- Everyone ranks privately, in about a minute
- You reveal the winner
Tips
- Include one low-key, cheap option for anyone who is tired or broke.
- Set the reveal to happen automatically at a set time on Friday evening.
- Check the forecast before adding outdoor plans.
Questions
What if only half the group ranks?
You can reveal with whoever has ranked. Or set it to reveal automatically after a number of votes, so it closes as soon as enough people weigh in.
Can people see how I ranked?
No. Each person’s order stays private. Everyone sees the group’s final order and where they personally landed, never anyone else’s individual ranking.
Is it free? Does everyone need the app?
Rankd is free and runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download. Friends open the link from any group chat (iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, email) and rank in about a minute.
