Potlucks are great — the planning isn't

Three kinds of hummus and no main course. A guest with a nut allergy who didn't find out until they arrived. Texts flying in every direction asking “what should I bring?” Sound familiar?

Potluck Planner gives every host a simple link to share. Guests see what's covered, claim a dish, and flag their allergies — no app download, no account needed.
