What Grūps App Can Do For You

Everything your group needs — in one place.

What is Grūps App?

Grūps App is an app that gives any group — a family, a sports team, a neighborhood association, a workplace crew — a private, shared space to communicate, organize, and stay connected.

Instead of scattering your group across emails, group texts, shared drives, and social media, Grūps App brings everything into one place: messages, events, photos, documents, polls, and more. Every group gets its own secure space that only its members can access.

Groups can be as small as a few people or as large as 500 members.

Who is Grūps App for?

Grūps App works for any group of people who need to stay connected and organized. When you create a group you choose one of five group types — each is tuned for a different context.

Communication

Chat

Every group comes with a built-in group chat. Send messages, share photos, react with emoji, reply in threads, and @mention members directly. Chat is real-time — messages appear instantly for everyone.

Some plans support creating additional chats for sub-teams or specific topics, keeping conversations organized.

Announcements

Admins can post announcements that sit above the regular chat feed so they don't get buried. Use announcements for important information that all members need to see: schedule changes, key reminders, urgent news.

Scheduling & Events

Calendar & Events

Create events, invite your group, and track RSVPs — all in a shared calendar. View by month, week, day, or agenda. Set reminders so nobody forgets. Add locations and descriptions so members arrive prepared.

Check-ins

Running an event where you need to track attendance? Open a check-in window and let members check themselves in — with optional custom questions (e.g., "Which shirt size did you order?"). Admins can see the results in real time.

Signups

Coordinate who brings what or who covers which slot. Create a signup sheet with task slots, and members claim what they'll contribute. Great for potlucks, volunteer rosters, duty schedules, and team assignments.

Bookings

Give members a way to schedule one-on-one appointments or reserve time slots — like booking a meeting with a coach, requesting a resource, or reserving a slot in a class. Availability may vary by plan.

Content & Knowledge

Posts

Write longer-form content for your group — news, updates, guides, recaps. Posts are distinct from chat: they're organized, searchable, and stay accessible over time. Members can react and comment.

Polls

Need to make a group decision? Create a poll, set your options, and let members vote. Results are displayed as they come in. Perfect for choosing a date, picking a venue, or gathering preferences quickly.

Q&A

Organize knowledge in a structured question-and-answer format. Members ask questions; designated responders (or anyone) answer. The best answer can be accepted. Great for groups where certain members are the go-to experts. Availability may vary by plan.

Resources

Save useful links for your group — websites, tools, references, forms. Add titles, descriptions, and tags so members can find what they need. Organize resources into collections to keep things tidy.

Web Pages

Create custom pages for your group — a welcome page, an FAQ, a how-to guide, a sponsor page. Build them with a simple drag-and-drop editor and publish them for members (or the public). Availability may vary by plan.

Files & Media

Photo Albums

Create albums to collect and share group photos — events, trips, milestones, day-to-day moments. Members can react to photos, and depending on your plan, leave comments and tag people.

Files

Upload and share documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, and other files with your group. Members can download files directly. Storage limits depend on your plan.

People & Engagement

Members Directory

Browse all members in your group. Tap a member to see their profile — their name, photo, and information they've shared. Helpful for large groups where not everyone knows each other.

Recognitions

Send a recognition card to celebrate a member's contribution or effort. Recognitions are visible to the whole group, creating a culture of appreciation. Share them to chat to amplify the moment.

Bookmarks

Bookmark any message, post, resource, or other content so you can find it again quickly. Your bookmarks are personal — other members can't see them.

Lists

Create shared checklists for your group. Add items, check them off as they're done, and organize lists by type — Shopping, To Do, Misc, or a custom label. Useful for project to-dos, shopping lists, and preparation checklists.

Maps & Location

Share your location with the group on a live map. Useful for meetups, events, and keeping track of a group on the move. Members control exactly what they share and for how long. Availability may vary by plan.

Group Management

Group admins have a full set of tools to run their group smoothly:

• Admin Dashboard — a central overview of activity, members, and content.
• Feature toggles — turn features on or off for your group so members only see what's relevant.
• Member management — invite members by email or link, set roles, remove members if needed.
• Roles & permissions — define custom roles (beyond admin and member) and control what each role can do.
• Notification controls — set group-level defaults so members get the right amount of communication.

Grūps App is free to get started. Some features, and higher usage limits, are available on paid plans — which features are included and what the limits are can vary by plan.
