groups Getting Started & Clubs
What is Clannerly?
Clannerly is a social planning platform built for groups that meet in real life (IRL)—like dinner clubs, run groups, book clubs, and friend circles. Unlike noisy group chats, Clannerly gives your group a dedicated space for events, RSVPs, potluck menus, and calendars.
Is Clannerly free to use?
Yes! Clannerly is 100% free for creating clubs, organizing events, tracking food allergies, and managing RSVPs.
How do I invite my friends to a club?
Once you create a club in the web app, click "Share Invite Link". Anyone with the link can join your club instantly without jumping through complicated hoops.
Can I manage multiple clubs in one place?
Yes! You can create or join as many dinner clubs, workout groups, and friend circles as you like, all organized in your central Action Center home feed.
restaurant Potlucks & Dietary Allergies
How does the Potluck Menu Builder work?
When creating an event, select the "Potluck" template. Set course categories (Appetizers, Mains, Desserts, Beverages), and guests can claim specific dish items directly when they RSVP.
How does Clannerly automatically track dietary restrictions?
Members save their profile dietary preferences (e.g. Vegan, Gluten-Free, Shellfish Allergy). When guests RSVP to a potluck or dinner, Clannerly automatically aggregates group restrictions into a real-time host alert banner (e.g. "Dietary Alert: 1x Vegan, 1x Gluten-Free").
Can guests update their dish signup later?
Yes! Guests can change or swap their claimed course dish anytime prior to the event, and the host's menu overview updates instantly.
What if a guest has a severe food allergy?
Severe profile allergies are highlighted in bold red badges on the host's event page so everyone knows what ingredients to avoid when prepping food.
calendar_month Calendar Sync & Access
Can I sync Clannerly with Google Calendar?
Yes! Clannerly supports 2-way sync with Google Calendar and Apple/Outlook calendars so social events automatically appear alongside your work and personal commitments.
Do my friends need to download an app?
No! Clannerly works seamlessly in any mobile web browser (iPhone & Android) as well as desktop web browsers. Native iOS and Android store apps are launching soon.
