PlanPulse

PlanPulse is a mobile + web app for turning “we should hang out” into a confirmed plan in minutes. It creates a lightweight event page where friends vote on time, place, and budget with one tap, then auto-finalizes based on a clear rule (majority, host decides, or deadline). It integrates with Google/Apple calendars, sends escalating reminders, and includes a simple “commit” step (tap-to-confirm, optional refundable deposit via Stripe, or a no-show score). The app also suggests venues using distance, opening hours, and group preferences, but keeps AI limited to practical recommendations rather than gimmicks. The goal is reducing coordination friction and last-minute flaking without feeling like a corporate scheduling tool. Monetization is freemium: free for basic polls; paid for deposits, advanced rules, and host tools for recurring groups.
