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.
