Noosh is the easiest way to have people over, whether it's your first dinner or your fiftieth. A warmer, more intentional alternative to the house party. Made for keeping your circle close, and growing it one dinner at a time. Build a dinner in a few taps. Pick a theme, suggest a few dish slots, and share one link. Friends say they're coming, claim a slot or bring whatever they like, and see who else will be there and what's on the menu before they show up. Sometimes they bring a friend-of-a-friend, and your table grows. Every dinner is saved as a shared memory of who was there and what was made, so friendships build a visible history instead of dying in a group chat. WHAT YOU CAN DO β’ Host a dinner in under a minute. Title, date, location, a few dish slots, and everyone watches the night come together in real time. β’ Keep it clear from the start. RSVP is one tap and stands on its own, so you always know your headcount. Bringing a dish is separate, and the address only appears once someone is in. No guessing, no awkward chasing. β’ Share one link. Friends can claim a slot without downloading the app. β’ Bring a +1. Guests can pull in a partner with a personal share link. β’ Add a co-host. Split the load with someone you trust. β’ Capture the night. Photo and video gallery, captions, comments, and warmth signals after each dinner. β’ See your table this month. A quiet strip on your home screen keeps count of the nights you've gathered people, so hosting becomes a rhythm instead of a someday. Badges and streaks mark the milestones. β’ Build your circle. Add friends by @handle, visit public profiles, and discover friends-of-friends from the dinners you share. β’ Read the room over time. Group insights show how often your crew dines, who hosts most, and your peak month. β’ Get reminders when guests claim, when the dinner is approaching, and when it is time to share photos. MADE FOR THE RHYTHM OF A REAL EVENING Noosh stays out of the way until you need it: drafting an invite, sharing a slot, capturing a photo at the table, sending a "loved this" the morning after. Turn on dark mode and the whole app dims to something warm and low-lit, closer to candlelight than a screen. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email. Your data stays yours, and full export and account deletion are one tap away. Made by a uni student in Bath who wished this existed sooner. I hope you cook for someone you appreciate this week.
