Simply Plural is an app designed for plurals/systems who want to keep track of their members and optionally share those details with their friends. The app also includes functionality to vote per member on decisions within the system as well as chatting with your members. See your front history in a handy graph that shows every person who fronted. We designed the app privacy-first and any data that is not explicitly set to shared by you will not be shared with anyone. The app is built with accessibility in mind and comes with high contrast mode and dark mode for both dark and bright mode. In addition, you can scale up and down the font size. If you have any accessibility concerns we are very interested in listening. In addition, we added the possibility to share who's front and to allow specific people or systems of your choosing to be notified of front changes, to more easily communicate who is front. Should you need support with using this app or you are experiencing issues, do let us know on our Discord, we'd be happy to help. Finally, we hope you enjoy this app :)
