How it could work
Same event. Two very different weeks.
Picture your next campout, tournament or field trip. None of these tools is bad on its own. Together, they turn every event into a week of reminding, chasing and double-checking.
Telling people
How it usually goes: You post the date in the group chat. By Thursday it's two hundred messages up, under a debate about snacks.
How it could go: You post it once and send one announcement. It reaches everyone on your roster, even the families who never opened the chat.
Who's coming
How it usually goes: You scroll back and count. Two families answered in the wrong thread, and three said "maybe".
How it could go: A parent answers for each of their kids in one step. You just read the number.
Collecting the money
How it usually goes: It arrives by Venmo, by cash, and as a check tucked in a cleat bag. Someone is comparing two apps and an envelope.
How it could go: Families pay when they RSVP. Cash and checks go on the same list, so one list shows who's paid.
Finding help
How it usually goes: You ask for volunteers. Again. The same five parents say yes.
How it could go: Each family picks a job as they RSVP. One list shows who's still short, so you only nudge those families.
The day before
How it usually goes: You're the reminder. "Don't forget!" goes out at 9:40 at night.
How it could go: The weekly email already told everyone what's coming, and the people going get a reminder the day before.
The photos
How it usually goes: They're scattered across six phones and a thread, and half the families never see them.
How it could go: Every event has its own album, private to your group, where the families who came can add what they took.
Next year
How it usually goes: It all lives in your head, and in a folder that leaves when you do.
How it could go: Families get one quick ask for feedback, and it's waiting when Plan next year copies the whole event forward, for you or for whoever comes next.
Same event. This time, you get to enjoy it.
Start your group freeShare the work
Many hands make light work. Herding them is the hard part.
Most of the work lands on a few people, because coordinating everyone else is a job of its own. Grouperly is the missing piece: lots of people each pick up a small part, and you can still see all of it.
- Roles that say who does what, with the access and information each one needs
- Dens, teams and committees that can run themselves
- Tasks and playbooks, so everyone knows what's next
- One view of what needs you, without hovering over anyone
All of it, in one place
It does a lot. You'll only see what you use.

Four words across the top
Most people see Home, Calendar, Messages and Money. For most families, that short menu is the whole thing.
You only see what you turn on
Beyond the basics, each tool stays out of sight until your group switches it on.
Everyone sees their part
The treasurer sees the money, a coach sees the team, and a parent sees their own family's part.
Start with one thing
What's giving you the most trouble?
Pick one. You can leave the rest alone until you're ready.
Reaching familiesThe field change got buried under the snack schedule.
Send one announcement. Everyone on your roster gets it by email, joined or not, and you can see who it reached. Your group chat can stay for the carpool swaps.
To start: Nothing to switch on. This works from the start.
Who's coming, and who's helpingYou count replies in a thread, then ask the same five parents again.
Families answer for each child in one step and pick their jobs as they do. One list shows who's short, so you can stop asking everyone.
To start: Nothing to switch on. Add jobs to any event.
Collecting moneyVenmo, cash, and a check in a cleat bag.
Families pay when they RSVP, with cash and checks on the same list and tracked until they're deposited. Dues work the same way.
To start: Connect Stripe, the payment company, to take cards. Switch on Membership dues if you collect them.
Keeping the booksA shoebox of receipts, and a treasurer thinking about quitting.
Reimbursements come in with their receipts and get approved right from the email, and a record of your money keeps itself. On Grouperly Plus, the treasurer's report is ready when the committee asks.
To start: Switch on Books & Finances.
Finding new familiesNobody can find you, and the ones who ask get forgotten.
A public page lets people follow your group and ask to join, while your roster stays private. On Grouperly Plus, a QR sign and a follow-up list make sure nobody who asked gets lost.
To start: Give your group a public page in its settings. Recruiting is a switch on Plus.
Handing off to the next leaderIt all lives in your head, and you'd like a break.
Roles keep their own guides and tasks for whoever holds them next. Yearly events keep each year's details, and Plan next year copies them forward.
To start: Switch on Roles and Playbooks & progress.
Getting started
Set it up tonight. By yourself.
No committee, no training session, and nobody's permission. It's quick to get going, and your group chat can stay until your families are settled in.
You can't send something by accident. A new group starts in Setup mode, and nothing reaches anyone but you until you press Go live.

Grouperly matches your columns and keeps parents and kids together, and you look it all over in private.

Go live and say hello
When you're happy, press Go live and send one announcement. Everyone on your roster gets it by email, with their own link to join.
Built around the family
A group chat sees phone numbers. Grouperly sees families.
Everything starts with the household, so parents stay in charge and every group their kids are in is on one screen.
Parents stay in charge
A parent answers for each of their kids and can see and manage what's kept about them. A child's parent is in every conversation with them, or the message isn't sent.
Kids can start taking responsibility
With a parent's consent, a child can have their own login, see the group's events, answer for themselves and join in, with guardrails that don't switch off.
What's inside stays inside
Your roster and messages stay in your group. No ads, and we never sell your information. If you keep a public page, it shows only what you choose.
AI, on your terms
A helper that stays in its lane.
Coming soon: a personal assistant for every leader, and answers for members from your own documents, so you stop answering the same questions. It sees only what you can see, children's details never reach it, it asks before it acts, and your leaders can turn it off.
No risk in trying
Nothing to lose, and your evenings to gain.
Free, for real
Unlimited members, events and messages for as long as you like. No trial clock and no credit card.
One price if you want more
Grouperly Plus is $10 a month for the whole group, never per family. Most of what's here is free without it.
Leave any time
Download your roster, documents and money records whenever you want. Nothing is locked in, and we never show ads or sell your information.
