About PartTake

PartTake is a simple signup board for real-world coordination. Create a board once, share one link, and let participants claim slots in real time.

One link to share No participant accounts Capacity and RSVP

Why we built it

Coordinating volunteers, potlucks, or shift coverage often starts with a spreadsheet and ends with duplicate entries, missing details, and too many follow-ups. PartTake keeps the plan in one place so you can spend less time chasing updates.

Every board is a single source of truth with live counts, clear ownership, and simple rules. Participants can focus on what they are bringing or doing, while coordinators keep the big picture.

How PartTake works

  1. Create a board and add roles, items, or shifts.
  2. Share one link in email, text, or social channels.
  3. Participants claim slots and the board updates instantly.
  4. Use passcodes, limits, and waitlists to keep things organized.

Who it helps

  • Parents coordinating classroom needs.
  • Nonprofits scheduling volunteers.
  • Teams covering shifts and on-call rotations.
  • Neighbors planning community events.

What it replaces

  • Long email threads with outdated lists.
  • Spreadsheets that overwrite each other.
  • Group chats that bury decisions.
  • Manual tallying of signups and counts.

Guiding principles

  • Clarity: Everyone sees what is open and what is filled.
  • Low friction: Participants do not need accounts.
  • Control: Coordinators set limits, capacity, and access.
  • Trust: Names and updates stay on the board, not in spreadsheets.

What is next

We are focused on improving templates, accessibility, and tools that help organizers communicate with confidence. Feedback from real events guides what we build next.
