## What is Gathr?

Plan a wedding, a birthday or any party with a guest list — invitations, RSVPs, a planning checklist, the schedule and the budget in one app that feels like a celebration. Plan it together with a co-host.

Gathr is free: no ads, nothing to upgrade, no charges to you or your guests.

MAKE IT LOOK LIKE YOUR PARTY
Choose from 12 looks — Marigold for a mehendi, Blush for a bridal shower, Confetti for a birthday, Midnight for a gala and more. Every screen, button and the tab bar take on your colours, and your guests see the same look when they RSVP.

SET UP IN A MINUTE
Tell Gathr what you're celebrating, the names, the date and the place. It builds the event for you — a wedding comes with its functions already laid out — and shows you a live preview of your invitation as you go.

INVITATIONS GUESTS CAN ACTUALLY ANSWER
Share a beautiful invitation card, then send invites by text, WhatsApp or email. Pick the tone — Warm, Fun, Formal or Traditional — and add a personal note. Every guest gets their own link and can RSVP in their browser: no app to download, no account to make. Replies land in your guest list on their own, and reminding everyone who hasn't answered takes a couple of taps.

A GUEST LIST THAT TELLS YOU WHAT'S NEXT
See who's coming, who's a maybe, who can't make it and who hasn't replied, at a glance. Add guests one at a time, pick them from your contacts, or paste a whole list. Track plus-ones, dietary needs, VIPs and vendors, set a guest limit with a waitlist, and export the list any time.

A CHECKLIST THAT KNOWS THE DATE
Start from a checklist made for your kind of event, with due dates counted back from the big day. Add your own, tick them off, and enjoy the confetti.

A SCHEDULE FOR EVERY PART OF THE DAY
A wedding isn't one event. Give the mehendi, sangeet, ceremony and reception — or the dinner, the after-party and the brunch — their own time, place, dress code and guest list. Each part tracks its own replies. Keep what's on now and next on your Lock Screen.

MONEY WITHOUT THE AWKWARD CONVERSATION
Set a budget and see what's left, what's paid and what each guest costs. Add an expense in seconds, mark it paid with one tap, split it evenly or by percentage, and record deposits and part payments. Gathr works out who owes whom and keeps a record when people pay each other back. It never moves money — it just keeps the record straight.

PLAN IT TOGETHER
Send a co-host link to your partner, family or planner. Once they join, you both see and edit the same guests, checklist, schedule and budget. Only you can delete the event, and you can remove a co-host whenever you like.

KEEP EVERYONE IN THE LOOP
Post updates, answer questions and run polls. Guests see them with their invitation.

ON THE DAY
Give out free tickets and check guests in at the door with your camera. Add the event to your calendar and share directions in one tap.

MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD
A proper sidebar layout on iPad, dark mode, and text that follows your size settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 5.1.0 — 2026-10-02

Gathr 5.1 makes replying easier, keeps your plans safer, and makes every screen feel like part of the party.

REPLY IN SECONDS
• Guests reply on one simple screen: Going, Maybe or Can't go, plus who they're bringing and a note.
• Invited to a wedding with several functions? Reply to all of them in one sheet — or tap "Going to all".
• Changing your answer opens straight into your reply.

SAFER UPDATES
• Report a post or hide posts from someone, right from the post's menu.

YOUR PLANS, KEPT SAFE
• Signing out saves any changes that haven't synced yet.
• A guest's reply note no longer replaces your own private notes about them.
• Reminders move when the date changes and open the event when you tap them.
• Guest limits now count everyone coming, plus-ones included.

FESTIVE EVERYWHERE
• Settings, co-hosts, sharing, notifications, tasks and editing all got the new look.
• Home is clearer: one list of next steps, no repeats.

FASTER
• Big guest lists scroll smoothly, even for 500-guest weddings.
• Photos in updates load faster and use less memory.

Plus lots of small fixes. Still completely free — no ads, nothing to buy.

### 5.0.0 — 2026-09-27

Gathr 5.0 is a party. The whole app has been redesigned to feel like a celebration, not a spreadsheet.

PICK A LOOK
• 12 themes: Marigold, Blush, Confetti, Garden, Midnight, Ocean and more. Every screen, button and the tab bar take on your event's colours.
• Your guests see the same look on their RSVP page.

A FRIENDLY START
• A short guided setup asks what you're celebrating, the names, the date, the place and a budget, then builds your event.
• Weddings get their functions — mehendi, sangeet, ceremony, reception — set up for you.

INVITATIONS WORTH SENDING
• A shareable invitation card in your event's colours.
• Write your message your way: Warm, Fun, Formal or Traditional, with your own personal note.
• Texts and emails carry the card with each guest's personal RSVP link.

A PLANNING CHECKLIST
• A new Tasks tab with a starter list for your kind of event, due dates counted back from the day, and confetti when you tick things off.

FINANCE ANYONE CAN USE
• See what's left, what's paid and the cost per guest at a glance.
• Add an expense in seconds, tap "Mark as paid", and add the usual costs you haven't logged yet with one tap.

EASIER TO GET AROUND
• Settings is now at the top left, with your event's look and tabs right at the top.
• Start a new event from any screen with the New button.
• A new floating tab bar with sticker icons — keep up to six tabs (five is easiest).

ALSO
• A festive new app icon.
• Lots of small fixes so nothing hides behind the tab bar.

Still completely free — no ads, nothing to buy.

### 4.0.0 — 2026-09-25

Gathr 4.0 is a fresh start: simpler, calmer, and built around the event you're planning.

ONE EVENT AT A TIME
• Pick your event at the top right. The tabs below are that event's: Home, Guests, Schedule, Updates and Finance.
• Choose your own tabs — press and hold the tab bar.
• New here? Pick a template and you're planning in seconds.

PLAN IT TOGETHER
• Invite a co-host with a link. Your partner, family or planner sees and edits the same guests, schedule and budget.
• Only you can delete the event, and you can remove a co-host at any time.

A GUEST LIST THAT EXPLAINS ITSELF
• See who's going, who's a maybe, who can't come and who hasn't replied at a glance.
• One clear next step: add guests, invite them, or remind the ones who haven't answered.
• Sending invites is a short guided sheet: who, how, send.

HOME, SCHEDULE AND FINANCE, REDESIGNED
• Home shows what to do next and how everything is going.
• Schedule is a clean day-by-day agenda with replies for each part.
• Finance shows what's left of the budget, what's due next, and who owes whom.

ALSO
• A crisper icon.
• Explore and public events are gone. Gathr is now just for the events you run.

Still completely free.

### 3.1.0 — 2026-09-15

Gathr 3.1 — the same app, easier to use everywhere.

FIND YOUR WAY FASTER
• A new event opens as soon as you create it, ready for guests and invites.
• Drafts now appear in Events › My Events, not just on Home.
• Home templates fill in the event for you.
• A shorter welcome that explains what Gathr actually does.

INVITES THAT WORK FOR EVERYONE
• Email invites go out one by one with each guest's personal link, so guests without the app can still RSVP.
• "Remind pending" stays on the Guests tab after everyone has been invited.
• Send Invites is clearer: channel icons, how many guests each channel reaches, and which functions guests are added to.
• "Send Invites" on the event page picks only guests who haven't been asked yet.

FINANCE, FIXED UP
• In Balances, open a person, manage people or mark someone paid back without the sheet closing.
• The budget field types correctly, and every balance adds up.
• Solo hosts can log unpaid bills, and due dates read "today" and "tomorrow".
• Deleting an expense or a payment now asks first.

EVENT DAY
• Functions that run past midnight no longer show as "Past" before they start.
• Check In Guests is easier to find, with a clear message if camera access is off.
• My Tickets shows only your own tickets.
• "Show on Lock Screen" replaces "Go Live" and tells you when Live Activities are turned off.

LOOKS & ACCESSIBILITY
• Better dark mode, larger text that no longer cuts off guest rows or event tabs, bigger tap targets and clearer VoiceOver labels.
• Consistent buttons and status names across the app.

Still completely free.

### 3.0.0 — 2026-09-02

Gathr 3.0 — a cleaner app that starts simple.

FINANCE, REDESIGNED
The numbers lead. Tracking costs alone is a simple checklist — who-paid and splitting appear only when someone else chips in. Typing amounts works like a card terminal now: digits flow in, no cursor fights.

GUESTS, CALMER
One clean list instead of a box per guest, filters that read quietly, and an invite button that counts exactly who still needs asking.

BETTER ON BIG SCREENS
Sign-in and onboarding sit in proper columns on iPad instead of stretching edge to edge.

Still completely free. No ads, no upgrades, no charges — ever.
