A social calendar that protects your energy.
Gather helps friends find time together at a pace that feels good: no overbooked weeks, and no plans that quietly slip. See when everyone's free, share only what you choose, and keep up with the people who matter, gently.
Private beta on iPhone. We'll email you a TestFlight invite as spots open.

Why Gather
Planning with a group shouldn't take a week of messages. An open weekend shouldn't make you feel guilty about resting. And “we should hang out soon” shouldn't stay a thought. Gather is for the friend who keeps everyone together, for anyone who wants to see their people without burning out, and for anyone who'd love to say yes more often.
Whatever your social pace
“My calendar is a puzzle.”
You say yes a lot, and the week fills up fast. Gather shows when your group is actually free, checks in when you're stretched, and helps you move or cancel a plan kindly.
“I want to see friends more, but I rarely say yes.”
Set a pace that feels comfortable, even a quiet one. Jot a note to yourself when someone crosses your mind, get one gentle nudge when it's been a while, and start from a message you can edit. Mark how much effort a plan takes, so an easy coffee doesn't feel like a big night out.
“It depends on the week.”
Your pace isn't fixed. Change it whenever you like, take breathing room when you need space, and answer maybe when you're not sure yet.
What Gather does
Find a time that works for everyone
Choose friends or a whole community, set a date range, and Gather shows the days and parts of the day when everyone's free. Tap one to start the plan.
Share what you want, with who you want
Each friend sees you as simply busy, or sees full details. It's your choice, friend by friend. Mark a plan extra private and only the guests you invite can see it.
A week that fits you
Tell Gather how many plans feel right in a week, as few or as many as you like. When a week fills up, it checks in, and it helps you move or cancel a plan kindly. Mark how much effort a plan takes, and use breathing room to protect time for yourself.
Friendships that don't drift
A soft warmth bar shows who you haven't seen in a while. Add a note to yourself, get a quiet nudge, and start from a message you can edit and send yourself. There are no scores and no streaks, and you can pause nudges for anyone.
Communities for your groups
Group your people, like the kickball team, the supper club, or your college friends, and view or plan with the whole group at once.
Invites with easy answers
Going, maybe, or can't make it. Hosts see responses at a glance, and saying no takes one tap.

Built for the friend who organizes.
You're the one who asks "when is everyone free?" We're building Gather with a small group of organizers, and we'd love your group in the beta. You'll get early access and a say in what we build next.
Questions
I don't say yes to plans very often. Is Gather for me?
Yes. Gather works at whatever pace you set, and a quiet pace is a fine one. You choose how many plans feel right, nudges are gentle and shown one at a time, and you can pause them for anyone. Nothing is ever sent for you. Starter messages are drafts you edit and send yourself.
What do I need to try it?
An iPhone. Beta invites go out through Apple's TestFlight, and we'll walk you through installing it.
What does it cost?
Gather is free during the beta. If that changes, you'll hear it from us well before it does.
Does it sync with Google or Apple Calendar?
Not yet. Today you add plans inside Gather. If calendar sync matters to you, tell us at hello@hellogather.app. It's how we decide what to build next.
Who can see my plans?
Only friends you've accepted, and only what you choose: just "busy," or full details. Extra-private plans are visible only to the guests you invite. You can block anyone at any time.
What happens to my data?
We collect what the app needs to work. The full details are in our privacy policy.
Can I delete my account?
Yes, from inside the app whenever you like.
