• Link-only, by design

  An unlisted poll never shows up in the public browse feed and isn't indexed for search. It exists only at its link — share that with your friends, your family group chat, or your book-club thread, and no one else stumbles onto it.

• For the nights that are nobody's business

  Personal movie nights, surprise-party planning, a poll you'd rather not have a stranger vote in — private mode keeps the whole thing between the people who matter. No public footprint, no random votes skewing the result.

• Stack it with anonymous

  Pair private with anonymous and the poll is both off-the-radar and off-the-record: invisible to the public and unattributed to any host. The strongest privacy combination the product offers.

FAQ

Can anyone find a private poll?

Only people with the link. Unlisted polls are excluded from public browse and aren't surfaced in search.

Can people still vote without an account?

Yes — anyone you give the link to can vote, no signup required. Private only controls discoverability, not who can vote.

What's the difference between private and anonymous?

Private hides the poll from the public; anonymous hides you, the host, from the poll. They're separate toggles you can use together.

Is this on the free plan?

No. Private (unlisted) polls are part of Pro; free polls are public.

  Birthday movie picked by the birthday crew

  Send the invite with a poll. Guests vote on the feature before they arrive, the birthday kid gets to weigh in, and you're not arguing while the cake gets cold.
