"We should hang out" never becomes a date. Sha fixes that. Group plans die the same four ways: the chat goes quiet, nobody's ever free, people flake last minute, and "maybe" becomes everyone's answer. Sha is built to beat all four — so loose group-chat intentions turn into real plans your friends actually show up to. HOW IT WORKS 1) Pitch an idea — float something (coffee, a hike, game night) and let friends vote on the options before you lock anything in. No more dead-quiet chat. 2) Find a time you're all free — mark your weekly availability in a tap or two. Sha overlays everyone's free time and surfaces the slots that actually work. Turns out someone IS free. 3) See who's really coming — every plan has a live RSVP count, so you know who's in, who's a maybe, and who to nudge. No more last-minute flaking. That's the whole loop: pitch, find a time, show up. WHY IT MATTERS Research suggests it takes roughly 200 hours together to form a close friendship — and that most friendships quietly fade unless someone keeps them alive on purpose. The people who stay close aren't lucky. They're the ones who make the plan. Sha is the tool for spending those hours on purpose. The hard part was never wanting to see your people. It's the logistics. Sha handles the logistics — and then helps you see the hours actually add up. WHAT ELSE YOU GET 1) Memories — every plan gets a shared photo album. Everyone who was there adds their shots, so the night lives on in one place instead of scattered across five camera rolls. 2) Discussions — a comment thread on every plan and idea, where you can share photos, files and even your live location, so the "where do we meet / who's driving / running late" chatter has a home that isn't a noisy group text. 3) Split costs & settle up — log who paid for what on a plan, split it evenly or by custom shares (even across currencies), and let Sha net everyone down to the fewest payments. Settle up in a tap and download a tidy PDF breakdown when the trip's over. No more "you still owe me for the taxi." 4) Monthly Connection Report — a private monthly scorecard (a 300–850 Connection Score) of how you're keeping up your friendships: who you saw most, your turn-up rate, and your connection trend over time. A gentle nudge to reach back out. 5) Ask Sha (AI) — ask in plain English, by text or voice: "Who hasn't RSVP'd?", "When are we all free?", "Who owes what?", "Who do I see most?" 6) Recurring plans — set a weekly ritual once and invite the whole series 7) Friend groups — plan with your crew in a couple of taps 8) Shared to-do lists — sort who's bringing what, assign tasks, with reminders 9) Calendar sync — import your Google Calendar so Sha knows when you're busy; export your Sha plans to Apple, Google or Outlook 10) Check-in — after a plan, mark whether you actually made it, so your plans (and memories) reflect real life 11) Friend codes & contact match — find the friends already on Sha 12) Smart reminders — timely nudges so plans don't quietly slip away FREE & SHA PRO Sha is free to use.
