Who's actually coming this week? GroupThat answers that automatically for the pickleball crew, the book club, the D&D table, the church activity group, and everything else you do on repeat. Set the schedule once. GroupThat sends the invite every week, collects one-tap RSVPs, and shows a live headcount so you know exactly who's in before you show up. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a group and set the recurring day and time. 2. Invite your people. They answer with one tap. 3. Watch the count fill in and nudge whoever hasn't replied. WHAT YOU GET Auto invites Weekly, or on whatever rhythm your group actually runs. Set it once and stop re-creating the same event forever. One-tap RSVP “I'm In” or “I'm Out.” That's the entire interaction. Nothing to learn, no thread to catch up on. Live headcount See who's in, who's out, and who hasn't answered, in real time. Set a max attendee cap and let the spots fill. Smart messaging A group chat that knows about the meetup. Sitting this one out? Mute until the next meetup and we'll turn you back on automatically the moment it opens. Remind All One tap nudges everyone still undecided. No passive-aggressive group text required. BUILT FOR GROUPS LIKE • Pickleball, basketball, soccer, and volleyball pickup games • Run clubs and cycling groups • Book clubs, D&D tables, game nights • Church and ward activity groups, service projects, cleaning assignments • Youth sports parent groups and carpools • Small groups, study groups, and standing lunch crews WHY NOT JUST USE THE GROUP CHAT? Group chats are great for talking and terrible for counting. Answers get buried, half the group never replies, and somebody ends up doing math in their head an hour before. GroupThat keeps the count separate from the conversation — the plan stays pinned at the top, and the chat gets to just be the chat. It's Free! Your first group takes about a minute to set up. groupthatapp.com
