Somebody has to start it

Every gathering worth going to began with one person deciding to host it. Nook is for that person: the one who books the room, sends the link and stands at the door to say hello.

What we care about

What we care about

  • Simple

    Putting an event up should take minutes, not an evening of forms, spreadsheets and group chats.

  • Honest

    We say what works today and what doesn't yet: Nook is on iPhone, and paid tickets are still in a pilot.

  • Small rooms

    Supper clubs, book clubs, workshops and meetups: the gatherings where hosts know their guests by name.

Why Nook exists

Most gatherings still run on a group chat, a spreadsheet and the hope that people turn up.

Hosts spend the week before an event answering the same questions, and the evening itself checking names against a list.

Nook puts the event page, the guest list and the door in one app, so the host can spend the evening with the people who came.

It works in seven languages across 39 cities, from Kyiv and Lviv to Warsaw, Vienna and London, and hosting is free.

Hosts of small gatherings sitting in a circle, sharing ideas.

We listen to every host

What you can do with Nook

  • Event registration

    Guests sign up through one link and answer your questions before they arrive. No form to build, and no app they have to install.

  • Guest list and check-in

    Everyone who registered, in one list with their answers. At the door, scan a guest's code or tap their name.

  • A waitlist that fills the room

    When the event is full, people join the line instead of giving up. Each place that opens goes to the next person, and they have a set time to claim it.

  • Invitations and private events

    Keep an event off the feed and decide who is on the list: invite people by name or email, or share a link, and take any invitation back.

  • Host as an organization

    A studio, a club, a collective: give it a page of its own, bring your team in, and publish every event under its name.

  • Get the word out

    Every event comes with what you need to share it: a link that reads well, a page in its own colours, and a poster made for Stories.
