For organisers

Start a group people actually turn up to

Set your own front door, ask your own questions, and get a private chat, an events calendar and a feed the moment you create it. Everything a real-world community needs to run, in one place.

  • Open, by application or invite-only
  • Your own application questions
  • Chat, events and feed on day one
A group profile in BondBloc: about, next event, members and roles

Membership

Every group sets its own front door

Pick the one that matches how your community already works. You can change it later.

Open to join

Open

Anyone who finds you can join in one tap and land straight in the chat.

  • Best for run clubs, open meetups and anything where more is better
  • New members appear in your members list immediately
  • You can still remove anyone who should not be there
By application

By application

You write the questions. Nobody gets in until you've read the answers.

  • Build your own form, and replace it whenever the group changes
  • Approve or reject with a reason the applicant actually sees
  • Applicants can withdraw, so your queue stays honest
Invite only

Invite only

The group stays out of search results. The only way in is a link you handed out.

  • Generate as many invite links as you need
  • See which links are still active
  • Revoke any of them the moment a list goes somewhere it should not

Paid groups and membership dues

Coming soon

Collecting dues inside BondBloc is on the way. Until it lands, run the money the way you already do and put the terms in your how-to-join notes, so nobody applies expecting free.

The admin side

What you get to run it with

No spreadsheet, no second group chat, no one person holding the whole thing together in their head.

Application forms you write

Ask what you actually need to know. Approve or reject with a reason, and replace the form whenever the group changes.

Invite links you control

Generate them, see which are still live, revoke any of them. Nobody joins an invite-only group without one.

Roles that share the load

Super admin, admin, moderator, member. Promote the people who do the work, and hand the group over entirely when it's time.

A chat built for a group

Polls, voice notes, pinned messages and reactions. Lock the chat when a thread needs to stop.

Events with a real RSVP list

Create, update or cancel. See who is coming before you book the table or count the bibs.

A feed with a public preview

Posts and comments for members, and a taste of the group for people deciding whether to apply.

Members who hear about it

New events, approvals and announcements reach people in the app, not in a chat nobody scrolled back through.

Safety that's not your job

Phone numbers are encrypted and never shown, DMs only open between people who share a group, and reports go to the platform team.

Who it's for

If people gather to do it, it runs here

Run clubs and teams

A Saturday route, a fixture list, and a chat that knows who is injured this week.

Churches and fellowships

Small groups through the week, everyone together on Sunday, one place for both.

Book clubs and study groups

This month's book, the date, and the argument about the ending.

Meetups and maker nights

Talks, demos and RSVPs that tell you how much pizza to order.

Hiking and outdoor crews

Trip dates, kit lists and a cap on how many people the trail can take.

Dance troupes and choirs

Rehearsal schedules, beginners nights, and applications for the ones that audition.

Supper clubs

Twelve seats, one table, an application form that asks what you're bringing.

Alumni and professional circles

Invite-only membership, verified badges where it matters, and no cold outreach.

Volunteer groups

Shift dates, headcounts, and a feed that shows the work actually happening.

Before you start

The questions organisers ask first

Can people find my group without an invite?
Open and application-based groups show up in Explore by category and city, so anyone nearby can find you. Invite-only groups stay out of results entirely for people who aren't members.
Do my members have to verify their ID?
No. ID verification is optional, and members who complete it carry a verified badge on their profile. It's a signal, not a gate.
Can I charge membership dues?
Not inside BondBloc yet — dues and paid membership are an upcoming feature. For now, collect however you already do and say so in your how-to-join notes.
Do I have to give members my phone number?
Never. Phone numbers are encrypted and aren't returned by the API to anyone. Members message each other in-app, and a direct message only opens between two people who share a group.
What if I want to hand the group over?
Promote another member to super admin and the group is theirs. Roles run super admin, admin, moderator and member, so you can share the work long before you hand it over.
Can I stop a conversation that has gone wrong?
You can lock the group's chat, delete messages, and remove members. Reports about people or content go to the platform team rather than landing on you.

One group, ten minutes

Your people are already meeting somewhere worse

Create the group, set the door, and send one link instead of adding forty numbers.
