Wedly is the planning app built for the part of the wedding you actually have to manage: the day itself, the people running it, and the hundred small decisions that turn into a hundred small jobs. It's collaborative. Your partner, your bridesmaids, your maid of honor, your day-of coordinator — everyone gets the right view of the right list. Nobody texts the same vendor twice. Nobody asks where to be at 4pm. THE DAY-OF TIMELINE Build the timeline once. Assign every event to the right person. Changes sync to everyone's phone as you make them, so the version in their pocket is never the old one. When the day arrives, everyone knows where to be, what to do, and who's running what. TASKS THAT ACTUALLY GET DONE Multiple lists. Real assignments. People see what's theirs, not a wall of someone else's spreadsheet. You stop being the single point of contact. BUILT FOR YOUR CREW One invite code gets partners, bridesmaids, groomsmen, planners, and helpers in. Each person has a role and the right access — planners edit the plan, helpers see only what's shared with them. SHAREABLE WITH VENDORS Send the day-of timeline to your photographer, your venue, your band — as a PDF or plain text, generated from the plan in a few taps. Or invite a vendor into a focused, view-only slice of it. They know exactly when they're up. ACTIVITY FEED See what's moving without asking. When someone finishes a task, picks a vendor, or shifts the timeline, you know — a clear overview in seconds, with no back and forth. WHAT'S DIFFERENT Wedly is a tool, not a marketplace. We don't sell vendor leads, we don't push registries, we don't get paid when you book the cake, and there's no upsell waiting three screens in. Our only job is making sure the planning doesn't fall on one person and the day doesn't fall apart. BUILT FOR iOS Native, fast, private. No third-party advertising trackers. Push notifications only when something actually matters. — Privacy policy: https://wedly.org/privacy Terms of service: https://wedly.org/terms
