I'm building an app that replaces your chaotic group chat when making plans with friends
Hey everyone — I've been working on something called Beach Day and wanted to share it here to see if this resonates with anyone.
The problem:
Every time my friends and I try to plan a day out, it turns into 30+ texts, lost reservation links, and someone always asking "wait what's the plan?" right before we leave. Then afterward, you're chasing people on Venmo for two weeks.
What Beach Day does:
It's one app that handles the entire flow of planning a day with your crew:
- Full day itineraries — plan every stop from brunch to sunset, not just one event
- One invite link — friends see the plan, RSVP, and they're in
- Book restaurants in-app — no more switching to OpenTable or Resy
- Snap & split the bill — photo the receipt, split it, send payment requests right there
- Gentle nudges — reminders before each stop so nobody's the late friend
Think of it as if Google Calendar, Splitwise, and OpenTable had a baby designed for friend groups.
Where we're at:
We're launching this summer and currently building our waitlist.
I'd love to hear:
- Does this solve a real problem for you?
- What features would make you actually switch from group chats?
- Would you pay for something like this, or does it need to be free?
