Sardines makes organizing carpools effortless — right inside iMessage. No accounts, no downloads for your friends, no switching between apps. Just open Sardines in any conversation and start filling seats.
**Create Ride Polls in Seconds**
Pick your vehicle, assign a driver, add passengers to seats, and share the ride poll with your group. Everyone in the conversation can see who's riding where at a glance.
**Multi-Vehicle Trips**
Need more than one car? Add multiple vehicles to a single trip and assign passengers across all of them. The message preview adapts automatically — from a detailed single-car view to a compact multi-vehicle summary.
**Your Vehicle Garage**
Save your cars, vans, and SUVs with their exact seat layouts. Support for regular seats, shotgun, car seats, and boosters — so you always know who fits where. Switch vehicles with a tap when plans change.
**Names That Stick**
Sardines remembers your drivers, passengers, and trip names. The more you use it, the faster it gets. Names from rides other people send you are saved automatically too.
**No Accounts. No Servers.**
Everything stays in iMessage. Your ride details are encoded directly in the message — no sign-ups, no cloud storage, no tracking. It just works.
**Trip Scheduling**
Add a date and time to any ride so everyone knows when to be ready.

Beautifully simple friction-remover
John J Basile
Friends in Burlington were using Sardines so my first experiences with the app were as a passenger. I dug it. Now that I'm organizing my own rides, I'm realizing it's even more valuable than I'd originally realized. My use case is kids activities--never not a headache. While Sardines can't sign fun park waivers or help people get dressed, it solves a very major pain point: getting places without a ton of back-and-forth texts while adulting is trying to happen. Its beauty is in its simplicity and utility.
Easy way to coordinate
Rob Hoehn
Coordinating car pools over text messages is always a mess. Sardines makes it so easy to clearly communicate who is riding in the car and how many seats are available. Right within iMessage.
Simplified planning
Colleen Hoehn
Organizes the parent coordination chaos that happens in text threads. Our kids do so many activities - it can be hard to coordinate. We don’t need complicated apps - it just works right in iMessage.
