The Outdoor Club & Activities

Plan outings. Bring everyone. Settle expenses. And look back on a year of community impact.

Plan the trip and open enrolment. Split the fuel. Watch the whole group move on one map while it is happening. Keep the books, the roster and the rules in the place everybody already looks — and hand every volunteer a certificate when the clean-up is done.

The storyline

One weekend, start to finish

Six beats, on a loop: how an outing goes from a group chat nobody can read to a certificate somebody can hand in.

01 — the group chatFour hundred messages, and still no plan.

02 — the planSo the club plans it once, where everybody looks.

03 — the peopleEveryone enrols themselves. Nobody chases a headcount.

04 — the day itselfThe whole group on one map — who is ahead, who is sweeping.

05 — the moneyThe fuel and the stay split themselves. Receipts stay attached.

06 — what it adds up toParticipate in the community impact initiative and receive a certificate of appreciation.

Why it exists

Your club already exists. It is just scattered across a group chat.

The route was agreed four hundred messages ago and nobody can find it. Who paid for the fuel is somebody's memory of a photograph of a receipt. Half the group is somewhere on the highway and the only way to know where is to ring them one at a time. And the blood group of the person who came off at the last bend is on a form in a drawer at home.

None of that is a chat problem. It is a club problem. Clubs have members and roles, a calendar, a set of books, and a duty of care towards people who travel together to places with no signal — and a chat window can hold none of it.

The Outdoor Club gives a club the shape it already has. A roster with roles, outings with enrolment windows and appointed captains, a ledger with receipts, a live map for the day itself, and the club's own documents and rules — one app, and nothing in it worth scrolling back for.

It is deliberately not a social network. There is no public directory, no discovery and no way to reach a club that did not invite you. That boundary is enforced in the database rather than only in the app, so it holds even against a modified client.

What is in it

Everything a club actually does

Six things, each of which a club is currently doing in a spreadsheet, a chat thread or somebody's head.

🗓️

Outings, whatever yours are

A nine-day road trip over a mountain pass, a sales offsite, a Sunday kitty party, a conference, a beach clean-up. Each one gets an itinerary, an enrolment window, appointed captains and a status that moves from planned to under way to done — and each one shows up on the same timeline and the same calendar.

🗺️

A map for the day itself

Turn sharing on and your club can see where you are — who is ahead, who is sweeping, who stopped. It keeps updating with the phone in a pocket, because a map that only refreshes when somebody is looking at it is no use on a ride. One position per member, no route history, and turning it off deletes it.

💸

Money everybody can see

Shared outing expenses that work out who owes whom, and a club ledger with receipts attached that every member can read. Any circulating world currency. It is record-keeping, not payments — no money moves through the app, which is exactly why nobody has to trust it with any.

👥

A roster that means something

Members, treasurers and administrators, each scoped to the one club that granted it. Blood group and emergency contact where somebody can reach them at the roadside rather than in a drawer at home. A garage of vehicles and their papers, entered once and carried into every club you join.

📣

A feed, not a chat

Photos, polls, welcomes and notices that stay pinned instead of sinking. Tag a member, or tag @all when it really is everybody's business. Notifications for the handful of things that warrant one, and in-app reporting for the things that do not.

🏛️

Several clubs, one you

Ride with one club and trek with another. Your profile, garage and documents follow you into each, because they are yours rather than any club's. Posts, outings, the ledger and the map never cross a club boundary — switch clubs in the top bar and the previous one goes dark.

Community impact

The clean-up runs on the same rails as the road trip

A club that does one drive a year should not have to learn a second product to do it. So a community-impact outing is not a module bolted on beside the outing — it is an outing, with the same enrolment, the same captains, the same expenses and the same feed, plus two things: a plan, and a result that adds up across the club's whole history.

Pick the activity from a catalogue that opens on your own country, with the kit list, the safety notes and the thing worth counting already written. When it is over, every member who turned up is handed a serialised certificate naming the club, the cause and the partner — the document a school, a visa desk or an employer's volunteering scheme actually asks for.

  • 1certificate per volunteer, issued the moment the outing ends
A certificate of community impact naming the volunteer, the club, the activity and the number of members who attended.
Privacy

A club is private. So is the app that runs it.

The app asks for real things — a phone number, a blood group, an identity document — because a club that meets in person needs them. What it does with them is the whole argument.

Nothing is public

No directory, no discovery, no profile anybody can look up. You reach a club by being invited to it or by founding it. A club you do not belong to sees nothing about you at all.

No adverts, no tracking

No advertising, no advertising identifier, no analytics, no crash-reporting SDK, no tracking across other apps or sites. We build no profiles, make no automated decisions about you, and never sell or rent your data.

Location is opt-in and forgetful

Off until you switch it on, and only ever to the one club you have selected. One position per member, overwritten each time. No trail, no route log, no history — and switching sharing off deletes the position outright.

Papers are the narrowest thing in it

Identity and vehicle documents sit in private storage and cannot be fetched with a plain link — opening one mints a short-lived signed link for that single file. Only you and your club's administrators can open an identity document: not ordinary members, not the treasurer. Nothing is verified, and no club should treat it as verification.

Isolation is enforced, not promised

One club cannot read another's members, posts, ledger or map. That is a row-level rule in the database rather than a check in the app, and it is tested as a security property against a real Postgres before every release.

Leaving is a real choice

Leave one club and keep your account, your other clubs and your garage. Or close the account entirely, from Settings. Either way you decide what becomes of what you wrote — deleted, or left behind with your name detached. Full detail in the Privacy Policy.

Who it is for

If a group of adults goes somewhere together, this is for them

The name says outdoors and the emblem has a mountain on it, but an outing is whatever your club says it is.

Riding & off-road clubs

Convoys over passes with no signal, a sweep rider who needs to know who is behind, fuel and stay split eight ways, and a garage of bikes with their papers in it.

Trekking & walking groups

Enrolment windows so you know the group size before you book the huts, blood groups and emergency contacts on the roster, and a map for the stretch where the group spreads out.

Company teams & offsites

Two days of planning and one evening of karaoke, with who is coming, who is driving whom, and what it cost all in one place instead of three chat threads and a spreadsheet.

Volunteering & conservation

A catalogue of 291 activities with the kit list and the safety notes already written, and a serialised certificate for every volunteer once the day is done.

Neighbourhood & social circles

Kitty parties, potlucks, family days and dinners — with a running kitty that everybody can see, and a feed where the photos stay findable.

Alumni, learning & conferences

Workshops, training and group travel to a conference, run by appointed captains rather than by whoever happens to be an administrator.
