Plan without the group chat spam. Tired of "you coming?", "be there in 5", "running late sorry" burying your group chat — and still not knowing who's actually showing up? Rediro replaces the whole back-and-forth with ONE live board everyone can see. HOW IT WORKS • Create a plan — a hangout, dinner, workout, class, or meetup • Share one invite link with your group (no app required for guests) • Everyone taps a status, and you watch the board fill in live: who's Ready, who's running late, who's out THREE TAPS, TOTAL CLARITY • Ready — I'm here or on my way • Push +5 — running late (up to 3 times, capped at +15 min, so it can't drag on) • Can't make it — out, no awkward follow-up NUDGE THE STRAGGLERS One tap sends a Time-Sensitive ping that breaks through Focus and silent modes — only for real person-to-person nudges, never marketing. NO APP FOR YOUR FRIENDS Guests reply right in their phone browser — name only, no signup. Only the host needs the app. TWO WAYS TO PLAN • Host Event — you run it: control the start, the cancel, and capacity. Great for classes, dinners, and sessions. • Group Event — everyone's equal, and the group cancels by 2-vote majority. Great for guys' night, brunch, and casual meetups. QUIET BY DESIGN • No ads, no data selling, no cross-app tracking • Guests join without an account • Auto-closes 2 hours after the start time — no abandoned threads • Delete your account in-app anytime iPhone-first, built for Time-Sensitive notifications and Universal Links — share a plan over iMessage, tap the link, you're in. Plan without the group chat spam. Get everyone on the same page — and actually show up together.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: rediro at none against Buffer's 10. rediro also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Buffer's advantage is ratings volume (35K vs 1) and chart position (#108 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Buffer sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. rediro asks for nothing beyond the download.
rediro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Buffer has 35K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
