Planning a Friday with your friends should take five messages, not fifty. Planshon is a group chat that quietly keeps the plan underneath it. Who's coming, what's been paid, where it is — always one tap away, instead of twenty minutes of scrolling back through a conversation. THE CHAT AND THE PLAN, IN ONE PLACE A vote, a job, a cost, a photo — each one lives in the same timeline as the conversation that produced it. Nothing to switch apps for, nothing to re-type into a spreadsheet, nothing that quietly stops being true. WHO'S COMING, WHAT'S PAID, WHERE IT IS Plan answers on one screen what a group chat makes you dig for. The days run across the top, and whatever is waiting on you sits above them — an unanswered vote, a job with your name on it. Add a day and a dinner becomes a weekend. MONEY, WITHOUT THE MATHS Everything anybody paid for, and what that leaves each person owing. No spreadsheet, no "wait, did you ever pay me back for the van?" Planshon never holds or moves your money — it keeps the tally and hands you to Venmo, Zelle or Cash App to settle up there. A CHAT AND AN EVENT ARE THE SAME THING Most plans begin as "ski trip??" with no dates and no commitment. In Planshon that is already an event — it just hasn't grown a date yet. Give it one when you have one, or never. The lunch crew that meets on no fixed schedule works the same way: one crew and many plans, so nobody is re-invited and the conversation never starts over. SIDE CONVERSATIONS THAT ARE ACTUALLY PRIVATE Planning a surprise? A room is genuinely separate. Someone outside it cannot read it, search it, or tell from a badge that it exists. That rule lives in the database, not in the screen drawing it. IT WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL Everything you write is saved on your phone and sent when there is a connection. Hotel wifi and international roaming are the normal case for a trip, not an edge case. IT SUGGESTS, IT NEVER ACTS Planshon writes a recap at the end of the day, catches you up on what you missed, and notices when a date or a place has been agreed so it can offer to write it down. Nothing is ever created without somebody tapping. WHAT PLANSHON IS NOT • Not a social network. No feed, no followers, no strangers, no algorithm deciding what you see. • Not a ticketing site. Nothing is public and nothing is for sale. • Not a calendar. Nothing is created that the group didn't agree to. For groups of 3–30 people who already know each other. In English and Spanish. Free. Planshon is PLAN-shon, rhyming with "fashion".
