How CollectiveTap Works
Share a link. Your whole group can use it instantly — no accounts, no downloads, no friction.
The link is the app
CollectiveTap turns a single link into a live, shareable tool — a poll, a schedule, a list, a shared note. Tap the link and you're in. There's nothing to install and nowhere to sign up.
Works in iMessage, WhatsApp, Instagram, Slack, email — anywhere you can share a link.
No accounts, ever
There's no login, no profile, and no password to remember. The link itself proves you have access. That keeps things fast for everyone in your group — and means we never ask for personal information we don't need.
One link, one tool
Every CollectiveTap link is its own self-contained tool — one poll, one schedule, one expense split. The creator sets it up, shares the link, and everyone else can participate right away with no extra steps.
You can group multiple links together with Hub — handy for trips, events, or recurring groups.
Your link is your key
Access is built into the link itself, not a separate account or password. When you create a tool, you get a private admin link that only you have. When you share with your group, they get a participant link — same tool, different permissions.
- Keep your admin link private. Anyone who has it can manage the tool.
- Participant links are safe to share widely. They let people respond, not admin.
- Links can expire. Once a link expires, it stops working automatically.
Think of it like a key: the right link opens the right door. Guard your admin link the same way you'd guard a password.
Always up to date
Every time someone opens a CollectiveTap link, they see the current state of the tool — the latest votes, the newest signups, the most recent changes. No refreshing required, no syncing between devices.
The tool lives online, not on anyone's phone. Everyone always sees the same thing.
Links expire automatically
CollectiveTap links are built for the moment — not forever. Most links automatically expire after 90 days. After that, the tool closes and the link stops working on its own, with no cleanup needed from you.
Expiration means old links don't linger forever. Your group's data doesn't sit around longer than it needs to.
Built with privacy in mind
No accounts means no passwords to breach and no social profile to mine. We only store what's needed to make your link work — and we don't sell it.
No app to download
CollectiveTap is a website, not an app. That's intentional. A link works instantly on any phone, any browser, any platform — without anyone in your group needing to find it in an app store first. The fastest tool for your group is the one everyone can open right now.
Eight tools, one idea
CollectiveTap includes eight tools for coordinating groups — use them on their own or collect them in a Hub:
