## What is Sirkl?

Sirkl is the private group app built for the person who organizes everything.

Every group has a natural leader — the one coordinating plans over group text with no real tools. Sirkl gives that person control, visibility, and a real platform for their group.

INVITE ONLY
There's no public feed, no discovery, no strangers. You invite your people, they join your Sirkl. That's it.

YOU'RE IN CHARGE
As a Sirkl leader, you control who's in, approve events, manage permissions, and keep your group organized.

EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE
- Group chat with reactions, replies, and photo sharing
- Events with RSVP tracking and comments
- Polls for group decisions
- Photo album — automatically built from photos shared in chat
- Calendar view of all upcoming events
- Member profiles with social links
- Leader dashboard with member activity insights

BUILT FOR REAL GROUPS
Book clubs, friend groups, families, travel crews, sports teams — any group that needs a real home.
Free to join any Sirkl. Create your first Sirkl for $29.99/year.
