goodinvite is a casual inviting app that lives right inside Messages. Sending an invite should be as easy as sending a text — with goodinvite, it is. This is not a party planning app. It's for your everyday connection — the Tuesday dinner, the last-minute walk, the "who's around tonight?" There's no separate app to open and no link to pass around. Make an invite, drop it in the chat, and everyone RSVPs with a single tap — Going or Not — without ever leaving the conversation. The best part: the headcount is live. As people tap in, the count updates right there in the thread for everyone to see. No more "who's actually coming?" for the tenth time, no group-chat scroll-back, no spreadsheet. FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVE INVITING Only have room for six? Set a cap. The first six taps are in, and everyone after that lands on the waitlist automatically. First-come, first-serve inviting, handled for you — no awkward "sorry, we're full" texts. HOW IT WORKS • Create an invite in seconds — what, where, when • Send it into any iMessage thread • Everyone taps Going or Not Going, right in the chat • The live headcount updates for the whole group instantly FEATURES • Live RSVPs — tap to respond, watch the count update in real time • First-come, first-serve inviting — set a headcount cap and the waitlist takes over automatically • Add to Calendar in a tap so no one forgets • Works natively in Messages — the invite and the RSVPs all stay in your chat NO SIGN-UPS No accounts, no passwords, no email. Pick the name your friends will see and you're ready to RSVP. You can change it any time in Settings. Keep it casual. A birthday dinner, a last-minute hang, a game night, a trip everyone keeps "meaning to plan" — goodinvite is the casual inviting app that makes getting people together the easy part. Grab your group. Drop an invite. See who's in. GOOD TO KNOW - goodinvite runs inside iMessage on iPhone and iPad, so it works in conversations where everyone is using iMessage. - If a chat falls back to SMS, the invite won't show up in that thread — keep it to your iMessage conversations.
