Madali makes small-event planning feel calm, clear, and beautiful. Baby showers, birthdays, graduations, dinner parties, cultural celebrations, and intimate weddings all follow the same simple rhythm: choose the event, shape the plan, invite the right people, and enjoy the day. THREE PLACES, NO CLUTTER Home keeps your celebrations easy to find. Plan holds the details, invitations, helpers, and countdown. Event brings the live timeline and day-of tools together. EVERY PERSON SEES THE RIGHT VIEW Hosts stay in control. Helpers and vendors see the timeline and tasks they need. Guests get useful event details without the behind-the-scenes work. The guest of honor gets a calm view made for enjoying the moment. BROWSER RSVP, NO GUEST ACCOUNT Send a private invitation link by text, WhatsApp, email, or wherever you already talk. Guests answer Going, Maybe, or Not Going in their browser without installing Madali or creating an account. ADD TO CALENDAR Hosts can hand a celebration to Apple Calendar or Google Calendar. Guests who successfully RSVP can download an Apple Calendar file or open an editable Google Calendar draft. Calendar entries are one-time copies and do not update automatically if the Madali plan later changes. MAKE IT A CIRCLE Turn a familiar gathering into a weekly or monthly rhythm. Every gathering gets its own event and RSVP count. Edit, skip, or cancel one gathering without changing the rest. AUTOMATIC CIRCLE EMAIL, ONLY WHEN CHOSEN For a scheduled Circle, the host can turn on automatic email reminders. Each guest chooses Email or No recurring reminders from their own private invitation. Group links cannot grant recurring email permission. Madali does not send SMS in this version. EVERYONE'S PHOTOS, SAVED IN YOUR OWN DRIVE Guests can add photos from Madali or their browser invitation. You review what arrives and choose what the group sees, and every picture is saved into a folder in your own Google Drive. HELPERS GET CLEAR TASKS Assign a simple action and short instruction to a helper or vendor, so everyone knows what needs doing without a noisy group chat. START FREE, THEN CHOOSE WHAT FITS Free includes one active celebration, one helper or vendor, core planning tools, Circles, and a limited automatic-email allowance.
