Turn your group chat into a real community
Events with RSVPs, discussions, a member directory, photos, and messaging — one app your members actually open, on the phone and the web.
Free to start. No credit card required. We'll set you up with a sample club so you can explore before inviting anyone.
Most social clubs run on a Facebook group, a WhatsApp thread, and an email list — and every one of them leaks members who never see the invite. core.club gives your community one home for events, conversation, and connection, so people show up and stick around.
What running a social club looks like today
Built for how your club actually runs
Events with real RSVPs
Post meetups, happy hours, and workshops members can RSVP to in a tap, with caps and waitlists so a full event pulls in the next person automatically. You get a real headcount instead of counting Facebook comments.
Discussions & announcements
A discussion board keeps conversation organized by topic, and pinned announcements make sure the important stuff reaches everyone — not just whoever happened to be scrolling.
Member directory & profiles
A real member directory helps people find and connect with each other. New members onboard themselves and fill out a profile, so the community grows without you maintaining a list by hand.
Group & direct messaging
Give members group and direct chat in the same app they use for events, so side conversations, planning, and introductions all live in one place instead of three scattered threads.
Photo galleries
Collect photos from every meetup in a shared gallery. Members upload from the event and everyone relives it — instead of the memories living on one person’s camera roll.
Memberships & paid events
Charge membership dues or ticket a paid event directly in the app. Payments and renewals are handled for you, and core.club keeps your revenue, minus a low 2.5% as you grow.
One club, on the phone and the web
Members get a fast native app on iOS and Android; admins run everything from the same account on the web. No separate tools, no exports, no re-keying data between systems.
