MyPeople

Features
Read full description

MyPeople is the app that brings your community together. Not another chat app — your community already talks on WhatsApp. my people is the layer that keeps everything else in one place: your events, your people, and the sense of belonging that holds a community together. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Discover and RSVP to your community's events — gatherings, meetups, and everything in between - Find and connect with other members through a rich community directory - Access exclusive perks and offers from within your community - Explore a shared library of books, podcasts, and reads worth knowing - Stay in the loop with community news and updates - Support your community through its storefront BUILT FOR REAL COMMUNITIES my people is for the communities you're actually part of — your shul, your club, your network, your people. It's built around a simple belief: people want people, not things. Technology should bring us together in real life, not keep us scrolling. COORDINATION, NOT CHATTER We're not here to replace the conversations you're already having. my people handles the coordination — the events, the directory, the belonging — so your community can focus on what matters: each other. People, not things. Belonging, not broadcasting. Community that compounds. my people is a product of Analogue Ventures.
