dinner without the drama.

You just want six friends around a table. Why does it take 40 messages to make that happen?

You know how it goes. You text the group: “Dinner at mine Saturday?” Then it starts. “What time?” “Can I bring someone?” “What should I bring?” “Wait, where do you live again?” “Is it BYOB?” “I'm vegetarian btw.”

By the time you've answered everything, you're too exhausted to cook.

one event. zero confusion.

Create your dinner party in BoredApp. Date, time, your address, and all the details in one place. “BYOB, I'm making pasta, let me know about allergies.” Done.

Invite your friends or share a link — they see the full details in their browser, no app needed. They RSVP Going, Maybe, or Can't so you know exactly how many plates to set. No scrolling through a thread looking for the address. No “can you resend?” It's all right there.

potluck? sorted.

Use the event chat to coordinate who's bringing what. Drop a poll — “Salad, dessert, or wine?” — and everyone picks. It's separate from your main group chat, so the details don't get buried under memes and random conversations.
