Features

Everything a real community needs, nothing it doesn't.

GroupKith is purpose-built for the things groups of kith actually do together. No public feed. No discovery algorithm. No ads.

Group feed

One chronological conversation for the whole community. Drop in a message, photo, link, or a structured post. Reactions and threaded replies keep it organized.

Events & RSVPs

Lightweight events created right in the feed. Time, location, RSVPs, sign-up slots for potlucks and rides, and automatic reminders before they start.

Polls

Settle a question fast — a time, a place, what to bring. One vote each, live results, and the winning option stays right there in the feed.

Prayer requests

A dedicated home for prayer requests — one-tap "I prayed," group walls for shared seasons, mark-as-answered, follow-up nudges, and a public wall when communities want to share outward.

Threads

Reply under any message to keep the side conversation in line. Threads live inline so context isn't pulled out of the feed.

Direct messages

One-on-one or small-group DMs with anyone in your community. Same fast realtime delivery as the feed.

Realtime sync

Server-sent events push updates to every device the moment they happen.

Activity feed

A cross-community digest of what you actually need to see — events and prayer requests — instead of an endless scroll.

Multiple communities

Join your church, your small group, your block, and your family group from one account — switch with a tap.

Private by default

Invite-only communities. No public discovery, no SEO leak, no third-party trackers. The default is privacy — you opt in to share, not the other way around.

Per-community theming

Each community can set its own accent color so it feels like home the moment you open it — without breaking the readable, low-contrast layout.

Custom permissions

Roles for every community: owners and admins decide who can post, create events, invite members, and moderate. The right people run things — everyone else gets a calm place to take part.

Why bother

The chat app is the wrong tool.

A group of 30 people in a chat thread loses everything important within an hour. Event RSVPs get buried under photos. Prayer requests scroll past lunch plans. Important things get answered with thumbs-up reactions and never followed up.

GroupKith adds the structure a real community needs — while keeping the same fast, casual feel.

  • Events have RSVPs and reminders, not a "going?" reply chain.
  • Prayer requests get their own surface, not a buried message.
  • Side conversations live inline as threads, not in a separate screen.
  • Realtime sync across iOS, Android, and the web — no missed updates.
  • Invite-only by default — never publicly indexable.
  • No ads, no algorithm, no data sale — ever.
