Doodle is an online calendar tool for time management and coordinating meetings. It allows users to schedule and make arrangements collaboratively, among other features. Doodle is available on desktop and mobile platforms. Founded in 2007, the company is headquartered in Zürich and has offices in Berlin, Belgrade, Atlanta and New York City.2

The story

Doodle was founded in Zürich, Switzerland by ETH Zurich students Michael Näf and Paul Sevinç in 2007. Näf came up with the idea of creating a scheduling tool after experiencing difficulty coordinating time for dinner with his friends.

Swiss media giant TX Group purchased a stake in the company in 2011, which was increased to 100 percent in 2014.

Doodle acquired Meekan in 2016. Meekan was a chatbot developed in Israel that used artificial intelligence and natural language processing to schedule meetings. Doodle has since begun to integrate this technology into their products. Meekan subsequently shut down in 2019.

The company rebranded in 2022 and launched a redesigned website.

In May 2025, Christian Fielitz was appointed as the new CEO of Doodle, succeeding Renato Profico.
