No overwritten names
People claim a slot. They can't delete or type over anyone else's.
The Google Sheets alternative
Stop sharing a spreadsheet. Share a sign-up sheet.
A shared spreadsheet means tiny cells on a phone, names typed over other names, and a doc anyone can wreck. Pip gives every slot a clear owner, locks it when it's full, and works in two taps.

Reminders a spreadsheet can't send
Pip Plus can send automatic email reminders so people remember their slot.

Questions
Is Pip really free?
Yes. Sign-up sheets, date polls, RSVPs, and your private contact list are free. Pip Plus adds calendar sync, reusable templates, and automatic reminders.
Can people erase someone else's name?
No. Each person claims their own slot. Only the organizer can manage the whole sheet.
Do people need an account or edit access?
No. They open the link, pick a slot, and add their name plus an email or phone number for event updates. If those details belong to an existing Pip account, Pip asks them to sign in to protect their identity.
Can I move my spreadsheet to Pip?
Yes. Copy the column of slots, paste it into Pip one row per slot, set how many people can take each, and share the new link.
How does Pip remind people?
Pip Plus organizers can turn on automatic email reminders so people hear about their slot before the day.
Is Pip affiliated with Google?
No. Pip is independent. Google Sheets is a trademark of Google LLC.
