Pick what it is
Dinner, birthday, pickup game, trip. The type decides which details we bother asking for.
- Nine gathering types
- Sensible defaults per type
- Reuse a past guest list
Dinners, birthdays, pickup games, trips. Make it in a minute, hand out one link, and GatherAt runs the RSVPs, the reminders, the group chat and the photo album. Your guests never download a thing.
Your gathering reaches the people you sent it to, and stops there. That is what makes it safe to use for all of them.
No feed, no nearby tab, no suggested events. The only way an event reaches you is a link somebody chose to send.
Host-only, forwardable by guests, or approve-each-request. Set at creation, changeable any time, obvious to everyone.
Guests see the neighbourhood; the exact pin unlocks two hours before. Screenshots of your invite go nowhere useful.
The group thread belongs to the people who are actually coming, not everyone who saw the link.
So we stopped asking her to. Tapping a GatherAt link opens a real page with the event on it: name, time, place, who's coming, and a box to say yes. No account, no install, reminders by email.
Access control is its own step, not a setting buried in a menu. It's the only decision that really matters.
Twenty guests shouldn't pay for one person's party. The host does, once, and only when they're the one throwing it.
No per-head fees. No ticketing cut. No ads, ever. An ad-funded invite app would need a feed, and we don't have one.
It may as well be you. First gathering is free. No card, no trial countdown.
