    A better way to schedule HOA meetings

    Email threads get long fast. A simple poll helps you pick a date and puts the winner on your neighborhood calendar.

    I once spent 11 days trying to find a Tuesday in October that worked for five board members. The thread had 47 replies. Two people changed their mind twice. One person was on a cruise and didn't see the final date until the meeting was already over.

    That is why we built meeting polls into Blocbear.

    How polls work

    • Pick 3–5 candidate dates and times.
    • Send the poll to your board or your whole neighborhood with one click.
    • Neighbors get an email with a one-click vote link — pick an option on the page, no app download required.
    • The winning date automatically lands on your neighborhood's shared calendar.

    Bonus: the same polling system works for anything the board wants resident input on — pool hours, paint colors, whether the new playground should have a tire swing. Volunteers shouldn't have to be project managers.

    Run a self-managed HOA?

    Built by a volunteer treasurer for volunteer boards. $29/month for the whole neighborhood — cancel any time.
