Potluck makes coordinating food for any gathering easy. Thanksgiving, a backyard BBQ, game night, a holiday party: everyone knows who's bringing what. CREATE YOUR EVENT IN SECONDS Set the date, location, and dish slots. Ask for exactly what you need (Caesar salad, a dessert) or leave slots open so guests can surprise you. Add a welcome note guests see when they join. SHARE A LINK OR A CODE Every event gets a join code and an invite link. Text it, share it as an invite card, or read it out loud. Guests tap the link or enter the code to join. GUESTS CLAIM DISHES AND RSVP Guests tap Claim on any open dish, say what they're bringing, and add dietary info like gluten-free or vegan. They can RSVP and say how many people are coming. No more three bowls of potato salad. SEE REPLIES AS THEY COME IN Get a notification when someone claims a dish or RSVPs. Insights show how many dishes are claimed and what's still needed before the big day. INVITE CARDS Make an invite card with 5 free themes, or 10 more with Pro. DISH GALLERY After the event starts, hosts can add photos of the dishes to a shared gallery. With Pro, guests can add theirs too. Events are shared through iCloud, so hosts and guests need to be signed in to iCloud on their iPhone. No separate account needed. POTLUCK PRO Free hosts can run 1 potluck a month. Potluck Pro adds: • Unlimited potlucks • Unlimited host photos, plus guest photo uploads at your events • Custom join codes • 10 more invite card themes • Per-guest insights breakdown • Dietary tags when adding dishes Potluck Pro is $3.99 per month or $29.99 per year, with a 3-day free trial on the yearly plan.
