CohortHouse

For classes, cohorts, boards and any group that meets

A private home for your group.

Your calendar, RSVPs, photos, files, polls and chat in one place only your members can open. Plus an assistant that knows your schedule, so nobody has to dig through the group chat for a date again.

Free for up to 20 people. No credit card. Members join from an email invite, no app store needed.

Example group

Group chats bury the details

The date is in one thread, the photos are in another, the sign-up sheet is in someone's Drive, and the newest member can't find any of it. Community platforms are built for creators selling memberships. Work software asks your group to act like a company. Your group needs a home.

Leadership classes

A year of class days, retreats and service projects, with 30 to 60 people who start as strangers.

Fellowships and cohorts

Accelerators, fellowships and certificate programs where the group is half the value.

Boards and committees

Meeting dates, packets and votes in one private place instead of reply-all.

Alumni classes

Keep a class together after graduation, with reunions people actually hear about.

Retreats and trips

Itinerary, room lists, who's driving and every photo from the weekend.

Clubs and circles

Book clubs, supper clubs, small groups and any crew that keeps meeting.

What's inside

Every room your group needs

Calendar and RSVPs

Every gathering in one calendar with going, maybe and can't. Add sign-up slots for who brings what, and subscribe from Apple, Google or Outlook so dates land on everyone's own calendar.

Reminders that arrive

Automatic email and phone notifications before each event, to the people who said they're coming. Everyone picks what they get.

Announcements

Post the news once and it reaches everyone. A weekly note rounds up what's coming so nothing sneaks up on anyone.

Photos

Shared albums everyone can add to from their phone. Pull pictures in from Google Photos, and download a whole album when the year is over.

Files

The schedule, the reading, the roster, the slides. Mark the official ones so people stop asking which version is current.

Polls

Pick the date, the restaurant or the gift in a minute. Close a poll on a timer and everyone sees the result.
