Planning who sits where at a wedding, party or classroom? Seatly turns a list of names into a printable seating chart poster and an alphabetical guest list, right on your iPhone. Paste your names, choose event tables or classroom desks, then drag people into place. Export two PDFs: a landscape poster of the room and a guest list that tells everyone where to sit. • EVENT TABLES OR CLASSROOM — up to 40 round or rectangular tables with 2–16 seats each, or a classroom grid of up to 15 rows Ɨ 12 columns with the front of the room marked. • PASTE YOUR LIST — one name per line, or comma-separated on a single line. Names fill the seats in order. • DRAG TO ARRANGE — drag a seat onto another to swap two people, drag a waiting name onto an empty seat, or long-press to unseat someone. Shuffle or Auto-fill with one tap. • POSTER PDF — a landscape chart in Letter, A4 or 11Ɨ17 with table numbers and every name in place, plus an optional title. • ALPHABETICAL GUEST LIST — each guest with their table and seat (or row and seat), so people find their place fast. Anyone not yet seated is listed separately. • PRINT, SHARE OR SAVE — print the poster from the app, share both PDFs at once or save them to Files. Everything is made on your device; no account and no sign-up needed. Your first chart export is free. A one-time $4.99 unlock gives you unlimited seating charts. No subscription, no ads.
