ByInvite
The network for members’ clubs
Only for iPhone
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
The social layer for members' clubs. See who's at your club, who's out tonight, what's on across the houses — and host a table of your own. By invitation, always.
The social layer for members' clubs — every club, one circle.
The club scene has never been stronger, but every club is its own world. ByInvite connects them: a private, invitation-only network where members meet across clubs, see who's out, host their own gatherings and look after the people they bring in.
Every member arrives by introduction, and every profile is reviewed — so the people you meet are the people you'd want to meet.
AT THE CLUB
Open ByInvite at your club and it opens on the house: a quiet welcome, who's around, and one tap to say what you're up to — coffee, working, drinks, open to company. Always opt-in, always yours to switch off.
OUT & ABOUT
Share a plan — a table tonight, a morning at the club, a trip to another city — and let the right members join. See who's out this week across your network, and what's nearby on the map. Never live member locations, by design.
HOSTED EVENTS
Host dinners, tastings and tables, with guest lists, requests and co-hosts handled in-app, and a group chat for everyone coming. Or join what fellow members are hosting — from exhibition openings to quiet lunches, hosts shape the experience.
YOUR CIRCLE, ACROSS CLUBS
Connect with members who share your clubs, your city or your interests. See where your circle stands, house by house, and who you should already know.
EVERY HOUSE, ITS OWN COMMUNITY
A curated selection of members' clubs, galleries and private venues — what's on, who's around, and each house's own spaces: The Lounge for conversation, The Social for events and plus-ones, The Board for house news. Find a welcome when travelling.
THE BYINVITE CONCIERGE
Picks of the moment with a note on why, venue recommendations, and help planning your next evening.
DISCRETION BY DESIGN
No public profiles. Your location is never shown to other members. Your data is never sold or advertised against. Who sees you, and when, is always in your control.
Membership is by invitation from an existing member, or by application — every profile is reviewed to keep the community exceptional. ByInvite facilitates introductions; access to venues and events is always decided by hosts.
more Plans at each club now read as they do on Out & about: the line itself, with its likes and replies. Tap one to open the conversation.
A plan shared as Text keeps your photo out of view, on Explore as everywhere else.
Explore is calmer: tap Explore again to clear filters, favourites become a lens on your clubs, and each filter has a considered empty state.
Your hosted events show who's going, as clubs do.
Refinements and fixes throughout.
1.0.127 Oct 12
Share with your circle
Post what's on your mind, or share a plan others can join. Add a place and a time, or simply start a conversation. Choose how it appears: your photo, or your words on a soft tone.
Out & about, reimagined
Plans and posts now sit together on one wall, each with likes and comments. Open any of them to follow the conversation, reply, or message the host.
Around your network
Explore now leads with what members are sharing as text, alongside conversations from the houses you know.
Who's around
A cleaner view of the members at the house with you, with the same cards as Out & about.
Venue pages
Each house's members circle, now with an Ask a member card, a Recently section for past evenings, and Community boards open at every venue.
Refinements
Explore sorts by distance even without location, names no longer cut short, and the back button now works reliably on every screen.
1.0.126 Oct 7
Around your network. Explore now carries what members are saying — a comment on an event, a note in a house's Lounge — with who said it, where, and when.
Co-hosts, properly. Hosting with someone? They now appear beside you on the event, in the guest list and on every card.
Your comments, your call. Delete anything you've posted. Emoji welcome.
Quieter details. Date and time pickers that stay where you put them, a back button that always works, and the native photo picker on Android.
1.0.125 Oct 2
See who's around. When you're at one of your clubs, you can now choose to appear to fellow members there and see who else is in. Always opt-in, always yours to switch off.
A new Community. Your venue's spaces now have their own names (The Lounge, The Social and The Board), each with a short description of who it's for.
Concierge picks. Our pick of the moment, with a short note on why it caught our eye. You can now see the likes and conversation on each one.
1.0.124 Sep 29
A quieter way to find your people.
Community at every house
Each venue now has its own community. The Lounge is for conversation — ask, recommend, or simply say hello. The Social is where members share events, +1s and who's going. Like a post, reply in a thread, and follow the conversations you care about.
Host together
Invite a co-host to your event. Share the guest list, the decisions and the evening itself with someone you trust.
See who's around
Arrive at a house and, if you choose, see which members are there — and let them see you. Visible only to people at the same venue, only while you're there, and yours to switch off at any time.
Also in this release
• A refined venue page, with members, plans and community in one place
• Emoji now work everywhere you write
• Smoother typing: the keyboard steps aside as you scroll
• Assorted refinements and fixes
1.0.120 Sep 24
Introducing Your Contribution — a quiet new page on your profile showing what you've brought to the network: tables held, people brought together, plans shared, members welcomed. Reviewed by week, month, year, or all time.
Reply to any message with a simple swipe, and copy a message straight from the menu.
Group conversations can now be renamed, and their member list displays more clearly.
Refined the profile page throughout — clearer connection counts, a more considered "Ask to host you," and a more consistent presentation of your activity.
1.0.118 Sep 12
- Save an event as a draft and finish it later — publish whenever you're ready.
- Let guests know how costs are handled: pay your own, split evenly, hosted, a fixed price, free, or to be decided.
- Group conversations can now be given a name when you start one, and display correctly throughout.
1.0.117 Sep 4
Interested
When a member shares a plan, you can now mark yourself Interested — a quiet signal, not a request. Others see a count and a glimpse of who, never a full list. Tap again to step out.
Messaging stays a separate, deliberate act. When there is something to say, say it.
Share a plan of your own and you can see who is interested, and open a conversation from there.
And when a plan gathers enough interest, turn it into an event at the venue. The evening is already taking shape — this gives it a time, a place and a guest list.
1.0.115 Sep 1
A smoother, smarter ByInvite experience.
We’ve refined event discovery and attendance, made member profiles clearer, improved navigation across Explore, and made it easier to see availability and manage your plans. This release also brings performance, stability and behind-the-scenes improvements throughout the app.
1.0.112 Aug 25
Going to the same event? Now you're in the same conversation — everyone attending joins the group chat, guests and members alike. Your own events lead Explore wherever they are, plans reach the whole network, and every venue page says plainly what ByInvite is: a members' space, independent of the house.
1.0.107 Aug 23
The house now notices. Host a table, open a door, share an idea — and see it recognised on your profile, quietly, with no scores and no rankings. Your plans reach the whole network, and with one tap your club will greet you the moment you arrive.
1.0.105 Aug 22
A calmer, faster Explore — venues near you now lead the list, searching keeps its bearings, and a missing club is one tap from being suggested. Venue pages gain a full-width welcome card with the day's shared plans, and the app now shrugs off flaky connections instead of showing an error.
1.0.104 Aug 20
Help us shape the house — a new way to share ideas and wishes straight from Explore. Plus reply directly to a guest's request before deciding, stay signed in on patchy connections, and your next hosted event now sits first.
1.0.102 Aug 19
Explore now opens on the house you're in — a quiet welcome, one tap to let members know you're around, and a redesigned Out & about. Plus refined group chats, honest hosting counts, and edits that stick.
1.0.101 Aug 18
The house knows you've arrived
Walk into one of your clubs and ByInvite quietly sets the scene — a welcome, the mood of the house, what members are planning today. Share what you're up to in one tap.
• A quieter, more considered look — bone, slate and antique brass throughout
• Reply to messages with a quote, delete what you've sent, richer notifications
• Your attended events, now under Attending → Past
• Event chats welcome each guest as they join
Your location is never shown to other members.
1.0.98 Aug 16
Conversations, refined
Messaging on ByInvite now feels the way a good conversation should.
1.0.96 Aug 15
The house knows you've arrived
Walk into one of your venues and ByInvite quietly sets the scene — a welcome, the mood of the house, and what members are planning today.
• A new arrival card greets you on Explore and the venue page
• Share what you're up to in one tap — coffee, working, drinks, open to company — and members at the house can find your plan
• See how many plans have been shared at the house today
• A refreshed set of plan moods, on every surface
• "How ByInvite Works" now includes When You Arrive — how arrival recognition works, and why your location always speaks to you, never about you
Refinements throughout. Your location is never shown to other members.
1.0.95 Aug 13
A proper introduction, ideas worth hosting, and clubs worth sharing
New: How ByInvite Works — the network explained in under a minute. Events hosted by members, plans shared on the fly, circles that reach across clubs. Find it in Settings, or wherever a little context helps.
Hosting ideas now follow you where they're useful — on Explore, in Suggested, and inside event creation. Choose one and the details arrive filled in, ready to make yours.
Your clubs deserve an audience too: venue pages can now be shared to Instagram as a designed story card, just like events.
Throughout: a calmer create flow, steadier forms, search where it was missing, and a tap on any tab to return to the top.
1.0.91 Aug 12
Ideas, and a proper introduction
New in this release: How ByInvite Works — the network explained in under a minute. Events hosted by members, plans shared on the fly, circles that reach across clubs. Find it in Settings, or wherever a little context helps.
Hosting ideas now follow you where they're useful: curated suggestions on Explore and the Suggested tab, and built into creating an event — choose an idea and the details arrive filled in, ready to make yours. The create flow itself has been refined too: essentials first, photography throughout, and a lighter way to share a plan.
1.0.90 Aug 10
Hosting, made effortless
This release is about ideas. The Suggested tab now opens with hosting ideas curated for you and your clubs — a table for six, drinks after hours, coffee among members who work from the house. Choose one and the details are already filled in; change anything, or start from your own blank page. The same quiet suggestions appear on Explore when one truly suits you, and inside the create flow itself.
Also in this release: the Suggested tab reorganised around what to join, what to host, and what's on at your clubs, with clearer reasons why each event is shown; live plans from the network alongside events; and a more considered create flow — essentials first, photography throughout, the rest tucked into More options.
1.0.89 Aug 8
Your circle, made visible.
— My Network opens with your circle: how many members you know, across which houses, and how complete each room is
— Reasoned introductions: suggestions now tell you why — a shared house, a table you both sat at, mutual connections
— Add a personal note when you request a connection, and see who you both know on member profiles
— Come as a guest, more quietly: choose whether your request reaches all members of a house or only your connections there
— Hosts can now save a seat for a guest — members receive an invitation in the app; others receive a personal email
— An invitation returns to your care when someone you introduced is welcomed into the network
— Venue pages show how many of your connections belong there
— Clearer event pages for confirmed guests, a refreshed map, and refinements throughout
1.0.86 Jul 30
Arriving is now as considered as being invited.
This update refines the invitation journey from the very first scan.
• Scan an invitation, install, and continue in one gesture — your invitation travels with you through the App Store.
• A clearer welcome: paste your invitation link or enter it by hand, each a single tap from the first screen.
• Continue with Apple or Google straight from sign-in — if you're new, we carry you gently into the invitation flow.
• Clearer guidance while your application is being considered.
• Quiet refinements to your events and invitations throughout.
1.0.82 Jul 28
This update is all about the moments after a host says yes.
• A redesigned Attending view — your status at a glance, the date as a proper mark, and the faces you'll be joining.
• Event pages now lead with what matters: see you're on the guest list the moment you arrive, with the group chat and a private line to your host always within reach.
• Plans now follow the event — if a gathering moves to another house, your invitation moves with it.
• Quiet refinements throughout.
1.0.81 Jul 28
Explore now shows you the way. A living postcard of your city opens the map — who's out, what's on, and where — while gentle signposts guide every section: evenings you can ask to join, tables you can view in a tap, venues where an introduction is one request away.
Hosting is sharper: manage your event from one elegant bar, edit past evenings to perfect their covers, and message a member about their plans directly — a shared plan is a conversation, not a request.
Plus: richer venue cards on the map, group chats note departures, the Android navigation bar sits properly, and finishing touches throughout.
1.0.79 Jul 24
The map steps forward. Explore now opens with a living postcard of your city — tap it and the map unfolds: who's out, where the evenings are, richer venue cards with the next events and the members sharing plans. Plans without a pinned place now appear by city, and every filter behaves.
Hosting feels sharper too: manage your event from one elegant bar, edit past evenings to perfect their covers, and message a member about their plans directly — a shared plan is a conversation, not a request.
1.0.78 Jul 21
Plans at each club now read as they do on Out & about: the line itself, with its likes and replies. Tap one to open the conversation.
A plan shared as Text keeps your photo out of view, on Explore as everywhere else.
Explore is calmer: tap Explore again to clear filters, favourites become a lens on your clubs, and each filter has a considered empty state.
Your hosted events show who's going, as clubs do.
Refinements and fixes throughout.
