Jorts — Plans With Friends

Home is your week now. The calendar you share with your people is the first thing you see. Swipe the week sideways and the day you land on lights up, with its plans sliding up underneath it. Read it by day, by week, or by month, where everything coming in the next 30 days is listed under the grid. Your other calendars, drawn in. Choose the calendars already on your phone and Jorts works around them. Your group sees a grey block — a day and an hour, never what it is. On your own week you see the names, and they never leave your phone. Name the place, not the address. Type “Amelie’s” instead of a street. A plan carries the bar, the park, the diner — whatever people say when they’re on their way. Anyone on the plan can move it. If the time or the place changes, whoever is going can fix it. The person who made it can still lock it. Bring a plan in from anywhere. Share a Partiful invite, a group text or a screenshot to Jorts and it becomes a plan, with the title, the time and the place already filled in. On the night, one screen. The plan opens as a map with everyone on it, what they have said, and who is on the way. Your location is shared only while the plan is on, and only with the people in it. It opens in one piece. Your week, your face and tonight’s plan are on the first frame now, instead of arriving one at a time. Plus a long list of smaller fixes: the chat scrolls back through everything that was said, your own messages sit on the right, and the map stops resizing itself while you are reading it.
