Gezel is the Amsterdam app for planning outings with your friends. Remember when Facebook Events made it easy to see who was going where, and actually coordinate a night out? Gezel brings that back — built around Amsterdam's nightlife. SEE WHO'S GOING Create a Zellie for any event and invite your friends. Going, maybe, or can't go; everyone responds in one place. No more "are you going?" texts flying around in five different chats. NOT EVERYONE NEEDS THE APP Share your Zellie as a link; friends can see who's coming and RSVP directly from their browser, no account needed. You can use Gezel even if you're the only one in your group who has it. KNOW WHAT YOUR CREW IS UP TO Your feed shows what the people you follow are planning. If a friend makes a plan for something you'd be into, you're the first to know and can RSVP. FIND SOMETHING WORTH GOING TO Browse upcoming concerts, club nights, and events across Amsterdam's best venues; Melkweg, Paradiso, and more. Filter by genre, venue, or date. ALWAYS IN YOUR CALENDAR Subscribe to your personal Gezel event feed and every Zellie you join shows up in your calendar automatically; no manual adding. You can also export individual Zellies to your calendar if you prefer. Gezel is made for Amsterdam. More venues coming soon.
