Transparent decisions your whole organization can trust

Loomio is where distributed organizations make decisions together — asynchronously, with clear reasoning, and a permanent record you can point to for years.

Every voice heard, every time zone Decisions that stick A searchable record of why

Decisions deserve better than email and chat

Lost in email

Important decisions buried in threads nobody can find. The wrong people weren't copied. There's no record of why.

Too fast in chat

Discussions scroll past before half your team wakes up. Weighty decisions made by whoever happens to be online.

Endless in meetings

You spend 30 minutes approving minutes. The same debates resurface because nobody remembers what was decided.

"There was really nothing great for making decisions. Loomio has been filling that gap — getting these discussions and decision points out of email and into somewhere we actually have a transparent record."

— Jared Messinger, World Resources Institute

A better way to decide

Loomio gives every decision a clear structure: discuss, vote with reasons, record the outcome.

Discuss with context

Start a focused thread with background information. Tag the right people. Keep it separate from the noise of day-to-day chat.

Vote with reasoning

People don't just click agree — they share why. When someone disagrees, you see their thinking. Perspectives shift, better outcomes emerge.

Record the outcome

Every decision has a clear result, next steps, and a timestamp. Years later, you can find it and understand the context.

Loomio fills the gap in your tool stack

You already have tools for chat, documents, and tasks. None of them handle structured decisions.

Chat Slack, Teams, Matrix — day-to-day conversation
Documents Drive, SharePoint — collaborative writing, file storage
Tasks Asana, Jira — project tracking, assignments
Loomio Decisions that need a record
"We positioned it as this really clear gap that nothing else was filling. We couldn't find anything in our suite of tools that would provide this functionality. So we avoided that not-another-tool fatigue."

— Jared Messinger, World Resources Institute
