PopIn is a social event planning platform designed for people who actually show up. It eliminates the friction of traditional event planning by allowing hosts to create events in 60 seconds, invite guests via email, SMS, or shareable links, and track RSVPs in real time. Guests do not need a PopIn account to attend—they receive a link that opens directly to the event page where they can RSVP with just a name and contact method. Key features include:
- Event Creation: Public or private events with customizable visibility (public, friends-only, invite-only).
- Guest Management: Real-time RSVP tracking with Going / Maybe / Can't make it statuses; broadcast updates to attendees.
- No Account Required for Guests: Invite anyone via email or phone; they RSVP without signing up.
- Spontaneous Planning: Vibe mode lets you describe an event in plain English and PopIn auto-fills details.
- Recurring Events: Support for regular gatherings like weekly run clubs or monthly dinners.
- Privacy Controls: Per-event visibility settings; no public discovery feed by default; no data selling.
- Progressive Web App: Works on any modern browser; can be added to home screen for native-like experience.
PopIn is free to use, with no ads, no premium tiers, and no selling of user data. It is built for hosts who want to avoid group chat chaos, guests who refuse to download another app, and crews that hang out IRL.
