Live group chat. A unique experience.

Only checked-in guests can join. Share photos, post messages, and connect in real-time — like a private group chat for your event. Host announcements reach everyone instantly. The timeline stays live for 48 hours after the event — guests can download photos and share their favorites. After that, it's permanently deleted for privacy. Just memories.

Your event deserves
its own story.
