Ping makes it easy to plan events with the people who matter — family gatherings, parties, group hangouts, anything in between. Create an event in a few taps, then invite whoever needs to be there. People who have Ping get notified right in the app; anyone who doesn't can still be invited by text, straight from your own Messages app — no extra accounts, no friction. Everyone can respond with Accept, Decline, or Interested, so you always know who's actually coming. Ping checks your phone's calendar automatically and flags anything that conflicts with your existing plans, before you even RSVP. Each event gets its own group chat, so the "what should I bring" and "what time again?" conversations stay attached to the event instead of getting lost in a group text. Add photos, set reminders, and keep a running list of who's bringing what. Create groups for the people you coordinate with most — family, roommates, a friend group — and message them directly, or invite the whole group to an event at once. Ping is built for the people you already text, not for meeting strangers. No public feed, no discovery, no ads — just a simple way to plan things together.
