Recurring groups need more than a chat thread
Turn a Contact list into a Meetup with a schedule, reminders, and gathering notes.
Every friend group has the same leftover line: "We should do dinner again." The last time lived in a group chat. Nobody owns the next date. Months pass. The habit dies without a fight, only drift.
Apple Contacts already holds the people. What it does not hold is the rhythm of the group.
Meetups turn a Contact list into that rhythm. Mark a list as a Meetup, set weekly or monthly recurrence, and choose how many days before to remind yourself.
When the reminder fires, Memlane puts an item in your Queue and opens a gathering where you can note what happened and who showed up.
Meetups give the people you already have a place for "next time," plus a short memory of last time.
Start from Meetups, or mark a list on the Contacts board.
