One system for the whole event — plan the guest list, invite and collect RSVPs, record contributions, run the gate on the day, and keep the memories.
Your first event is free · online M-Pesa & card payments coming soon · works offline at the gate
Not just a tool — an operating system
for the most important days of your life.
Guests, RSVPs, catering, vendors, the budget and the gate — all in one workspace, updated live for everyone working the event.
Open the platform →Build the guest list, group families into households, and set up the event — date, venue and what you'll need.
Design invitation cards, give every guest a personal link and pass, collect RSVPs, and share by WhatsApp, SMS or email from your own phone.
Record contributions and pledges — M-Pesa, bank or cash — in one ledger, and reconcile what was promised with what arrived.
Message guests from your own phone, scan passes at the gate — even offline — watch attendance live, give caterers their counts, and bring vendors in with only the access they need.
A beautiful event website from ready-made templates, your photos and videos in one private library, a gallery for guests, and a clear view of what's stored.
Bring planners, caterers and vendors into the event with exactly the access they need — and keep every guest informed with a personal invitation and one link that always has the latest details.
