the easiest birthday party you'll ever plan.

Every parent knows the drill. Plan the party, send the invites, answer the same five questions twenty times.

“What time does it start?” “Where is it again?” “Can you resend the address?” “Is it indoor or outdoor?” “What should we bring?”

It's exhausting. And it's the same chaos every single time. Group chats don't solve it — they make it worse. The details get buried under 47 messages about who's bringing cupcakes.

What calm looks like: the event, the people, the chat — one screen. No 47-message scroll.

one event. everything in one place.

With BoredApp, you create the birthday party as an event. Date, time, location, details — all right there. Add notes like “bring swimsuits” or “no gifts please.” Not sure about the venue yet? Drop a poll right in the event — “Pool party or park?” — and the group decides. It's the single source of truth.

split the load. nothing forgotten.

Birthdays come with a long list of small jobs. Cake. Goodie bags. Plates. Decorations. The piñata. Drop them all into the event's Tasks list and assign each one — to yourself, your partner, or the parents who offered to help.

When two people share a job — say, both grandparents are bringing snacks — each gets their own checkbox, so you can see who's done what at a glance. No more arriving at the venue and realizing nobody brought the candles.

one tap to get there.

Day of the party, everyone taps navigate. Their maps app opens with directions. No copying addresses. No screenshots of Google Maps in the group chat. Everyone just gets there.

Want to know if grandma's 20 minutes out so you can delay the cake? Guests can opt in to share their ETA — you see a simple minute count like “~9 min” for each person on the way. No map. No coordinates. No creepy tracking. Just the answer to “are we waiting on anyone?”
