Getting your crew together at the same time shouldn't be the hardest part of hanging out. Whether it's gaming nights, pickup basketball, board game meetups, study groups, or anything else you do with friends, SquadSesh makes it simple to coordinate sessions so you spend less time in group chats asking "who's free tonight?" and more time actually doing the thing. Create a group for your regular crew, then have everyone set their weekly availability. SquadSesh shows you at a glance when your squad members overlap, making it easy to find the perfect time to meet up. Once you've found a window that works, propose a session and let everyone RSVP right in the app. Here's how it works: - Set Your Availability Add your recurring weekly schedule or one-off time slots so your squad always knows when you're free. Your availability shows up on the group calendar, color-coded by member, so finding overlap is effortless. - Schedule Sessions Pick an activity, set a time, and invite your group. Sessions move through clear statuses from proposed to confirmed so everyone stays on the same page. No more guessing who's actually showing up. - RSVP and Stay in the Loop Respond to session invites with Going, Maybe, or Can't Make It. The dashboard highlights sessions that need your response so nothing slips through the cracks. - See Who's Around Right Now The dashboard shows which squad members are available at this moment, so you can jump into a spontaneous session whenever the timing lines up. - Level Up as You Go Earn XP for staying active: RSVP to sessions, create groups, add friends, and more. Watch your level climb as you use the app and see how you stack up with your squad. - Calendar Integration Sync confirmed sessions to your device calendar with a tap. Get reminders before sessions start so you never miss one. - Build Your Squads Create groups for different crews. Your gaming squad, your weekend hiking group, your Thursday night trivia team. Invite friends directly from the app and manage your roster from one place. SquadSesh is built for friends who are tired of scattered messages and missed hangouts. It puts scheduling where it belongs, in one shared space your whole squad can see.

Clique Calendar takes the back-and-forth out of making plans with friends. Instead of endless group chats trying to pin down a time Clique Calendar automatically surfaces when everyone is free so you can go from "we should hang out" to a real plan in seconds. Connect your calendar, add your friends, and let Clique Calendar do the scheduling math for you. It reads only your busy time ranges never the titles, details, or locations of your personal events so friends see when you're available without seeing what you're doing. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT Find a time that actually works: See your group's combined availability at a glance and pick a slot when everyone is free. No more guessing, no more "does Thursday work for you?" times ten. Plan events in seconds: Create an event, invite friends, and track RSVPs in one place. Everyone gets notified, everyone stays in the loop. Keep your circle close: Add friends by sharing an invite link or scanning a QR code, organize them into groups, and coordinate with the people you actually make plans with. Stay in sync without the noise: Get push notifications for invites, RSVP updates, and reminders only the updates that matter, not another buzzing group chat. Your calendar stays private: Calendar access is optional and fully in your control. Clique Calendar only ever uses your free/busy time ranges to find overlap. Your event details stay on your device. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create your account and set your availability preferences. 2. Add friends with an invite link or QR code, and group them however you like. 3. Connect your device calendar so your free time stays up to date automatically. 4. Start a plan: Clique Calendar shows when your group is free. 5. Lock in an event, send invites, and watch the RSVPs roll in. BUILT FOR REAL FRIEND GROUPS Whether it's a weekly dinner, a weekend trip, a study session, or just catching up, Clique Calendar is made for small groups who want to see each other more. Less coordinating, more hanging out. Make plans the easy way with Clique Calendar. Clique Calendar is a product of Ribbon Studios LLC. Questions or feedback? Reach us at support@ribbonstudios.org.
