Rotato
Table read nights, sorted.
The spreadsheet your writers' group runs on — who presents, who mods, who swapped out — without the spreadsheet. Private and secure.
How it works
- 1
Your group gets a home
Someone in your group signs up, picks a plan, and invites everyone by email. You get a link to sign in — no passwords to share.
- 2
You always know your night
Writers take turns presenting pages. The calendar shows your next date, the moderator for that night, and who's reading which part.
- 3
Life happens — hand off your night
Can't make it? Tap SWAP and your night is up for grabs, or PASS to give up the slot and still come listen. Someone else can claim it in one tap.
- 4
Everyone gets a reminder
The app emails you what's coming: your presenting date, your reading part (with just your pages to download), and whether the night is still on. If your group links a Discord channel, announcements land there too.

Turns stay fair
Rotato quietly keeps track of who shows up, so nobody hogs the calendar and nobody quietly loses their slot. If you're ever blocked, it tells you why and how to fix it.

Makes moderating easy
Moderators see everything on one screen — who's presenting, who swapped, who's out, and who's moderating — and Rotato flags anything that needs a decision, like a night missing its moderator or too many people out. Attendance, reminders, and schedule changes all take care of themselves.
That's it. No spreadsheets, no group text threads trying to figure out who's on deck.
