Private writing, revealed together

Cards are hidden while people write, so nobody anchors on the first answer. The Scrum Master reveals them one by one or all at once.

  • "Only you can see this" on your own cards
  • Scrum Master peeks, reveals one card, or reveals all
  • 👍 Likes in every phase
Two seats at the table

Everything the Scrum Master needs, one click away

The board's owner is its Scrum Master. All the controls live in one header, out of the cards' way.

Phase stepper

Move the room through the four phases. Everyone switches at the same moment.

Reveal on your terms

Peek privately, reveal a single card, or reveal the whole board when everyone's done.

Delegate the facilitator

Hand acting Scrum Master rights to a teammate for the session, and take them back after.

Invite by email

Generate an invitation link for a teammate. They join the board after signing in.

Filter by author

Show one person's cards to walk through them together, then clear the filter.

Built-in guidance

Each phase opens with a short tip, so first-time teams know exactly what to do.

Everything included

More than sticky notes on a wall

Anonymous sprint mood

Vote Very good, Good, Ok or Bad. The question then folds into a header chip ("Mood: Good · 5/6 voted"). Open it for the team results.

Real-time for everyone

Every card, like, vote and phase change appears for the whole team instantly. No refresh.

Celebrations

Confetti or fireworks for the good sprints.

"Me too" likes

Like any card, in any phase, to say you had the same thought.

Four themes

Dark, Light, Sunset, Ocean.

Laptop & phone

Columns scroll sideways on small screens.

Planning poker in the same workspace

Free and private

No ads and no selling of your data, on a dedicated database.

Five columns, ready to go

Every board opens with the classic retro layout.

Questions

Good to know

Can teammates see my cards while I'm writing?

No. In the Creating phase your cards show "Only you can see this". They appear for everyone when the Scrum Master reveals them, one by one or all at once.

Who controls the phases?

The board's Scrum Master: whoever created it, or a member they delegate as acting Scrum Master. They move the board through Creating, Grouping, Voting and Discussing, and everyone sees the change instantly.

How does voting work?

Each member gets one vote per group, and can take it back. When everyone has clicked Done Voting, the board moves on to Discussing by itself.

Is the mood poll anonymous?

Yes. Votenir records only that you voted, not what you picked. Everyone sees the team totals.

What does it cost?

Nothing. Votenir is free, with no ads and no selling of your data.
