Circles — your people need more than a group chat

What a circle does

A door, a memory, and a list of who's actually in.

Open, closed or paid: Anyone can join, or only people you invite, or only people who subscribe. You pick when you make it, and it's the same circle either way.
It has a page: One link that shows what the circle is, so somebody can decide before they knock.
Members, not numbers: You can see who is actually in, and remove somebody without a group-admin standoff in front of everyone.
It keeps things: Posts, photos and decisions stay where you can find them, instead of scrolling back through nine months of a chat.
It outlives the party: Everyone who came to the event is already here on Monday. That is most of the point.

Price

Free, unless you charge for it.

A $5 / month circle

what reaches you, per member

Member subscription	$5.00
Platform 5%	−$0.25
You keep	$4.75

Recurring payments carry no fixed fee — only the percentage. A free circle costs nothing, forever, with no member limit.

Most circles never charge anything. The ones that do are usually associations collecting dues they were already collecting by transfer and chasing in a spreadsheet.

Payouts go to your own Stripe account.

Not built yet

Two things worth knowing before you start.

Free stays free: A circle that starts free can't be turned into a paid one later, and a paid one with live subscribers can't be unwound. Decide at the start — this one is hard to undo.
Moderation is thin: You can remove people. There's no reporting queue, no shared moderator rota, no audit trail of who did what.

If one of these is what you actually need, tell me — it's how I pick what to build next.
