## What is Checkin?

Gather Your Crew

Checkin is the group chat replacement your friends will actually use. Create a Campfire, invite your crew, and see who's around — no endless "who's playing tonight?" texts required.

How It Works

Start a Campfire — Make a group for your gaming crew, friend circle, or D&D party. Share a join code and you're set.
Signal You're Free — One tap. Your friends get a gentle nudge, not a demand.
Watch It Grow — Your campfire glows brighter as more people gather. The flames respond to your group's energy.
See Who's Around — Who's online, who's arriving soon, who's sitting this one out — at a glance.
Built for Gamers
