The room at a glance
A live board of the night — who's arrived, who you're still waiting on, photos dropped, votes cast, songs requested. It refreshes itself while you're looking and rests while your phone's in your pocket.
The big day
Run the whole night from one screen.
When the day finally arrives, the planning turns into a party — and everything you need is on one tab. Build the check-in kiosk weeks ahead, then open the same tab on the night to watch guests arrive, drive the schedule, talk to the room and light up the big screen. All from the event you already made, with no new app to learn.
- Self check-in on any device
- The room at a glance
- No special hardware
How it works
Set it up once. Run it on the night.
Build the desk, weeks ahead
Set a 4-digit lock code and arrange the kiosk's tiles — drag them into the order you want, hide the ones you don't, add the ones you do. A module you haven't set up never leaves a dead tile.
Open the kiosk at the door
On the day the button changes from Preview to Open kiosk. Prop the tablet on the welcome table and lock it; guests tap their own name and their whole party arrives under one tap.
Run the room from your pocket
Switch to Live and the same tab becomes your control desk: who's arrived, what's happening now, a note to the room, and the big-screen moments — all thumb-sized buttons on your own phone.
The welcome desk
The door, handled.
Prop any iPad, tablet or laptop on the welcome table and it becomes your front desk. Guests tap their own name to check in — small typos forgiven — and their whole party arrives under one tap; once you've released tables, the welcome card shows them where they sit. Switch on door passes and guests who RSVP also get a personal pass in their confirmation email: one look at the door checks their whole party in, no typing at all. Someone show up without an invite? Add a walk-in on the spot. And when the venue wifi drops, the door keeps moving — check-ins are saved on the device and send themselves the moment the signal returns.
- Guests check in by name — or scan the door QR
- An optional door pass — one look checks the party in
- Add walk-ins right at the door
- Keeps working when the wifi doesn't
Beyond the door
So much more than a clipboard.
Your run of show
The whole day in order with the current moment marked NOW. Advance it yourself when dinner runs late, or let it follow the clock — and add a moment on the spot without leaving the page.
Announce to the room
Type a note — dinner is served in the garden — and it appears on the kiosk ticker and every guest's phone, no microphone required. Write tonight's notes in advance and schedule them.
The big-screen moments
Reveal the trivia answers, crown your predictions champion or draw the raffle, and watch the kiosk and every guest's phone light up together. There's a Clear button for when the moment's done.
The live controls
Keep the room moving together.
Choose which live poll the room is answering, run the quiz console, and keep a record of every action taken, with who did it and when. Your arrivals, schedule, announcements and game moments all belong to the same event. The record is still there the next morning, so "when did we actually draw the raffle?" has an answer.
- Arrivals, schedule and game moments in one tab
- Quiz session controls and live poll switching
- A durable record of every action, with times
- Co-hosts can help run the same event
The planning was for you. The day is for them — and the best tools on the night are the ones your guests never have to think about.
The photo wall
The room, up on the wall.
Nothing warms a party like seeing itself on screen. Plug a laptop into the TV, open the photo wall, and it fills as the night goes on — every guest snap you approve slips into the slideshow without anyone touching a thing. A little QR stays in the corner, so guests keep adding from wherever they're standing, and every photo lands in the album everyone takes home.
- A self-refreshing big-screen slideshow
- Only the photos you approve appear
- Guests keep adding by QR all evening
Run the day
The day, handled.
Check-in, your run of show, a live photo wall — one tab that keeps the big day moving smoothly.

Common questions
Good to know.
Do I need special hardware or an app to run this?
No. Any iPad, Android tablet or laptop with a browser becomes the kiosk, and a laptop plugged into a TV makes a lovely photo wall. Everything runs from your event in the browser — there's nothing to install.
Do my guests need to download anything to check in or add photos?
No. Guests type their name on the kiosk, or scan the door QR to open a pocket-sized version on their own phone — check-in, their table, the menu, the games and photo uploads, all with no app and no account.
Can I set all this up before the day?
That's the idea. The Setup side is open from the moment you create your event: arrange the kiosk tiles, set the lock code, preview the screen, write your schedule and save the notes you'll want to send. You can open the live controls early too and walk through them, so nothing on the night is a surprise.
Is there a faster way in than typing a name at the door?
Yes. Switch on door passes and every guest on your list who RSVPs yes gets a personal pass in their confirmation email — showing it at the door checks their whole party in with one look, no name to type. Guests can still check in by name if they prefer, and you can add walk-ins right at the desk, capacity and all.
What happens if the venue wifi drops mid-queue?
Check-in carries on. Check-ins and walk-ins done while the connection is down are saved on that device, with a calm line telling the person on the door that nothing is lost, and it all sends itself the moment the signal returns. Nobody gets counted twice.
Can guests wander off my screen on the kiosk?
No. Lock the kiosk with a 4-digit passcode and it stays put — the back button is trapped and leaving is blocked, so guests stay inside the welcome desk while host-only actions sit behind your code.
Does any of this cost extra?
No. Event Day is part of your event, built from the modules already included with your plan. Turn on the features you want and their tiles appear on the kiosk and on guests' phones.
Can a co-host help run the day?
Yes. Co-hosts open the same Event Day tab with the same controls, so whoever is on desk duty can keep the night moving — and the record shows which of you did what.
