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.
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.
"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
