See who's free, get feedback before making plans, discover local groups and communities, and keep everything organized in one place. Whether you're grabbing dinner with friends, joining a volleyball league, finding a hiking group, or planning your next event, Ideas helps bring people together. IDEAS Post an idea to friends, your circle or a group. Likes tell you if it's worth planning. Ideas expire on their own, so nothing goes stale. STATUS Let friends know you're free — with a time, an emoji and your choice of who sees it. PLANS Propose a few times, let everyone vote, and finalize. Ideas can even suggest times that work around your friends busy times. EVENTS RSVP, bring a list, split the cost, and add photos, all inside the event. CALENDAR Your plans, events and to-dos all in one view. Optionally share your busy times so friends can plan around you while your schedule stays private. TO-DOS Split the work. Open tasks that can be claimed by anyone, assigned tasks you can track, and shared lists for the whole group. SOCIAL GROUPS Circles are a few close friends you share items with in one tap. Groups are for your team, club or crew, with member roles, a shared calendar and chat. Communities can bring several groups under one roof. Browse public groups near you or keep yours private. PRIVACY You decide who sees what. Keep your profile public or private. Private accounts aren't searchable on the app — friends add you from your shared link.
