About Etraque
We got tired of planning events in group chats.
Etraque exists because "who's coming Saturday?" shouldn't require scrolling through eighty messages to find out.
Why we built this
The plan was always fine.
Tracking it never was.
Every event we'd ever organized — a dinner, a meetup, a volunteer day — followed the same pattern. The plan itself was simple. What broke down was everything around it: who said yes, who never replied, and whether the time changed after you'd already sent the invite.
Spreadsheets were too much overhead for a Friday hangout. Group chats buried the details under conversation. Full event platforms were built for ticketed conferences, not a dozen friends and a rooftop.
So we built the thing in between: an event that becomes a link, a link that becomes a real answer, and an organizer who can see who's coming as replies come in — without asking anyone to download something just to say yes.
Before Etraque
"Group Chat — Sat Plans 🎉"
"wait what time again?"
"is it still at Terra Kulture?"
"who's actually coming lol"
"scroll up ↑"

What we believe
The principles behind every screen
Guests come first
An RSVP is a favor someone's doing you. It should take ten seconds, not an account, a password, and an app store detour.
Plain over clever
No jargon in the interface. An event is an event, a group is a group. You shouldn't need a manual to plan a dinner.
Your data isn't the product
We make money from subscriptions, not by selling your guest list. We don't sell personal information or use calendar data for advertising.
Built for real organizing
Recurring meetups, last-minute changes, a group chat that's already fifty messages deep — we design for how people actually plan, not a demo.
A small team, building carefully
Etraque is built by a small, independent team. We'd rather ship fewer features that hold up under real use — a birthday dinner, a monthly book club, a company offsite — than chase every feature a bigger platform has. If something in the app feels unnecessary, that's usually a sign we haven't cut it yet, not that you're missing how to use it.

We read every email ourselves.
