A cozy place for your people.
Corkboard is a private app for the friends and family you see most weeks. Plan the park day and share the photos after, without digging through a group text for the details.
Made by two friends. No ads, no public profiles.
Your closest friends live ten minutes away, and you still go weeks without seeing them.
Getting from "we should hang out" to "we're at the park" takes a poll, a group text, a headcount, and somebody remembering to put it on the calendar. Corkboard handles those parts.
Plans people show up to
Post "Park at 3?" for the quick stuff. Send a real invitation with RSVPs and headcounts for the birthdays, and it lands on everyone's calendar.
The dentist recommendation, six months later
Someone in the group knows a good pediatric dentist and a sitter who does weekends. Corkboard files those where you can find them again, instead of 400 messages up the thread.
Only your people
Corkboard has no public profiles and no public feed. Your group sees your name and photo. You decide, friend by friend, who gets your address, your kids' allergies, and your calendar.
One board for the whole group
The twelve tabs share one calendar and one list of people. When you create an event, Corkboard puts it on the calendar and opens a chat and an album for it.
Home
The weather, today's calendar, tonight's dinner, and what your friends posted since you last looked.
Live
Post "At the splash pad with the kids" and friends can come find you. You choose how long the pin stays: one, four, or eight hours.
Chats
Group chats and one-to-one. Each event gets its own thread, so the "who's bringing cups" talk stays out of the main chat.
Friends
Sort people into circles only you can see, like "Swim team" or "Neighbors," and into shared groups everyone joins, like the mom club.
Memories
Shared albums anyone in the group can add photos to. Each event comes with one already made.
Local
Somebody spots a concert or a farmers market and posts it. See who's going and add it to your calendar.
Activities
Swim on Wednesdays, gymnastics on Tuesdays. Post the standing thing, say you're in, and it shows up in your week.
Calendar
Group plans next to your own phone calendars, so you see the soccer conflict before you say yes.
Events
Design the invitation, collect RSVPs with adult and kid counts, add a co-host, ask your own questions, and keep the host's to-do list in the same place.
Recipes
Paste a link and Corkboard pulls in the ingredients and steps. Share it with the group or put it on this week's meal plan.
My Lists
Shopping, chores, reminders, and event to-dos, pinned to one board so you can see the whole week.
More
Birthdays, recommendations, trusted resources, lifehacks, favorite things, notes, and color themes.
Guests don't need the app
Text the link. Grandparents and the family down the street can RSVP from a browser without installing anything.
- Yes, maybe, or can't, with how many adults and kids are coming
- Your questions, answered up front ("Any allergies?" "Staying for cake?")
- Guests on the web see a headcount, not names. In the app, you decide who sees the guest list
- Invitation templates, twenty fonts, and your own photos
Only your group sees any of it
There's no public feed and no way for a stranger to find you. People get in because someone in the group brought them.
By invitation
During the beta we add each group by hand. Your profile, chats, and posts aren't on the open web. An event invitation is the one page anyone with its link can open.
You choose who sees what
Pick, friend by friend, who can see your address, your kids' details, and your calendar. Hide an event's guest list if you want. Nobody else sees your circles.
Location, one post at a time
You share where you are one post at a time, and the pin drops off the map after one, four, or eight hours, or sooner if you clear it. Corkboard has no background tracking.
No ads, no data sales
We don't sell your information and we don't run ads. The privacy policy has the full list of what we store and who can see it.
Blocking, reporting, and kids' information are covered on the safety page.
Request an invite
We add a few groups at a time. Tell us about yours and we'll email you when there's room.
