How it works

  1. I.

    Join the line

    A visitor leaves their email and receives a numbered stub: their place in line, on the spot.

  2. II.

    Send your friends

    Each signup gets a referral link. Every friend who joins through it is one seat closer to the front.

  3. III.

    Move up the line

    A referral counts only after the friend confirms their email, so the numbers stay honest.

Why Refqueue

  • Free & MIT-licensed

    No seat caps, no locked features, no monthly bill. Fork it, ship it, keep it.

  • Self-hosted

    Your signups live in your own database. One-click Vercel deploy or `docker compose up`.

  • Referrals, not paywalled

    The refer-a-friend-to-move-up loop that GetWaitlist and LaunchList keep behind a paywall.

  • Counts you can trust

    A referral lands only after the friend confirms their email, so a fake one costs a real inbox.

Free forever.

Star it for later, or deploy your own in minutes.
