You

What other families see

When you put your name to something, this is what shows up next to it. It helps people work out whether their kid will know anyone.

Someone

counted, not named

Your nameWhatever you’d like other families to see, like “Maya” or “the Patels”. Leave it blank and you show up as an unnamed family.Show my name and photoOff means you still count toward the number, you just appear as an unnamed family. Your photo is hidden with your name, never separately.Show my kids’ agesAges only, never names. This is how someone with a twelve-year-old works out if there’ll be anyone their kid’s age.

How you hear about things

A board nobody checks is the same as no board. Nothing here needs you to come and look.

Weekly email digestOne message, once a week. New ideas and anything close to going ahead. Goes to the email you sign in with, so link one below first.Reminder the evening beforeSix o’clock the night before something you’re down for. On a regular thing it also goes to everyone on the list who hasn’t said yes to that date yet, so whoever is running it knows the numbers by the morning.Reminder on the morningEight o’clock, and only for a day you actually said yes to. Take your name off the date and both reminders stop with it.Updates from organisers about things I’ve said yes toA note from whoever’s running it (what to bring, running late), and a heads-up if the date, time or place changes. Email, and a text too if you’ve given your number.The Monday what’s-on, as a textThe same week the email covers, short enough to read without opening anything. Off unless you ask for it.Text when something I’m in opens for placesOnly for things you’ve already put your name to, and this is the one that matters: miss it and the window closes without you.Text when something short-notice goes upBeach tomorrow, park this afternoon. Useless if you find out the day after.

To get texts, sign in first (below): your number is only ever stored on a signed-in account, so nobody else on a shared device can set or see it.

Using this on more than one device?

Optional, and there is no password. Give us an email and we send a link. Open it on your phone as well as your laptop and both count as one family, so what you put your name to in one place shows up in the other.
