One calm place

Everything your family's week actually needs.

Playdates, parties, RSVPs and reminders — organised the way parents actually think.

Playdates

Organise spontaneous afternoon meetups with your regular school friends.

Birthdays

Manage guest lists, RSVPs, and allergies all in one clean dashboard.

Child Circles

Create private groups for school, sports teams, or local neighbours.

Shared Calendar

A bird's-eye view of your entire family's social obligations.

How it works

From new account to your first playdate.

Four steps, and you're never rebuilding your child's circle from scratch again.

01

Add your child

One calm place for every detail

Photos, ages, allergies and emergency contacts — stored safely instead of scattered across texts and scraps of paper. Private by default: only parents you've connected with can ever see it.

Build your circles

Group friends the way real life works

School class, football team, the neighbours — create a circle once and reuse it forever. The same friend can belong to as many circles as they actually do in real life.

Send an invite

Grow your trusted network, one invite at a time

One tap sends a personalised invitation by email or a shareable link. Nobody's in your circle until they accept — no public search, ever.

Watch RSVPs land

Create an event, everyone's invited automatically

Pick a circle and every parent in it gets invited instantly. Accept, maybe, or decline — you'll see live counts and who's still deciding, right up until the big day.

Built by parents, for parents.

Private by design — only families you invite can see your child's details.

“PlayTribes turned our chaotic school year into something actually manageable. The circles feature is a lifesaver for the football team.”

Frequently asked questions

Can strangers ever see my child's profile?+

No. Children are never publicly searchable. A parent only sees another family's child after both parents have exchanged and accepted an invitation.

How do I connect with another parent?+

Send them an invite by mobile number or email from inside the app. They accept it, create their own account and child profile, and you're both connected.

What happens when I create an event?+

Everyone in the circle you choose is invited automatically, and you get a live dashboard of who's accepted, maybe, or declined.

What if the parent I invite doesn't have PlayTribes yet?+

They'll get an email with a secure invite link. They create an account, add their child, and the connection completes automatically — no separate approval step needed.

Who can see my child's allergies and medical notes?+

Only you by default. If you host a playdate, that information becomes visible to the parents you've invited to that specific event, so they know what to prepare for — never anyone outside your trusted circle.

Can I remove a connection or leave a circle?+

Yes, from the Connections and Circles pages at any time. Removing a connection doesn't delete past events, but it stops that parent from seeing any new activity from you.

Can I add more than one child?+

Yes, there's no limit. Each child gets their own profile, circles, and friend network.

Can I delete my account and data?+

Yes — email us and we'll delete your account and all associated data. A self-service delete option is on our roadmap.

Is PlayTribes free?+

Yes, PlayTribes is free to use during early access. See our pricing section above for what happens after that.

Is there a mobile app?+

Not yet — PlayTribes works great in your phone's browser today, and native iOS and Android apps are coming soon.
