Private invitations and offers that pass along by themselves.

Two tickets. A reservation. A seat in your car. Ask one friend at a time, in the order you'd choose. Or ask everyone at once — first yes(es) take it. Either way: no public asking, no chasing, no one learns what they missed.

Sam invited you:

Pizza on the patio

Fri Jun 14 · 7:30 PM

Wood-fired oven's on. BYO anything stronger than wine.

How it works

Three steps. The rest is automatic.

01

Set up an offer

Write the invitation, add your people, choose a deadline.

02

We do the asking

One person at a time down your list, or to the whole group at once. Quietly — no group chat, no public post.

03

Someone says yes

They're in. Anyone who didn't make it just sees nothing — no record of what they missed.

By design

The invitation expires. So does everything in it.

Every Cascade invitation has a deadline. Once it passes — because you didn't act in time, or because someone else accepted first — the link stops working. There's no record left in your inbox of what was offered, who it was from, or when the thing was happening. Nobody ends up holding evidence of being late, or being second pick. It just isn't there anymore.

Mode 1 of 2

One at a time.

Some asks should feel personal. Cascade goes down your list in the order you'd actually choose — each person gets a private invitation, with a window to respond. Nobody knows they weren't first. Nobody waits in public.

Concept A4 · Cinematic Lifecycle

Watch it run itself.

From compose to complete. Every change explained — without you doing a thing.

Compose
You write the invitation and pick your list — in the order you'd ask in real life.
Start
You tap Start. The system takes over.
Alice — invited
Alice is up first. She gets the full invitation: sender, title, time, body.
Alice — declined
She decides to pass. No follow-up needed from you.
Handoff
Quietly, it moves on. Alice doesn't know Ben is next.
Ben — invited
Ben sees the same email Alice did. No mention of her.
Ben — accepted
Ben says yes. Seat filled.
Complete
Clara was never contacted. Total time you spent managing this: zero.

Designed for moments like these

Spare concert ticket

Your first choice. Then your next.

Ask in the order you'd ask in real life. Nobody knows where they stood. The friend you'd want most still gets first crack.

Open seat in your car

The friend who's nearby. The one who's free.

Ask one, give them a window, move on if they can't. You stay out of the group chat. They never know who was asked before — or after.

Wedding plus-one

You'd ask Anna first. Then Sam.

Private, ordered, quiet. No one sees the list. No one feels second. Each person gets a real invitation, not a recycled offer.

Sold-out show ticket

Pass it to whoever would love it most.

If they can't go, the next on your list gets a turn — without ever knowing they weren't your first thought.

Hand-me-down

Furniture you can't take with you.

Offer it to the friend you'd want to give it to. Then the next, if she can't take it. No public asking, no awkward chase.

Brunch you can't make

Booked, locked in, can't go.

Pass it down your list quietly. First yes inherits Sunday. No one knows you had to bail — or who got it.

Mode 2 of 2

All at once.

Some offers shouldn't have a hierarchy. Burst sends to your whole list at the same moment. Fastest yes takes the spot. Everyone else gets a quiet pass — no group chat scramble, no visible no's, no awkward 'wait, who's coming?'

Concept A4B · Simultaneous mode

Everyone at once.

Send to your whole list. First in wins. Quiet pass for everyone else.

Compose
You wrote the invitation and picked everyone who might want it.
Burst
You tap Start. All six get it at the same moment.
James — first
James is the first to tap. He sees the full invitation.
James — yes
He says yes. One seat down.
Sara — close behind
Sara taps moments later. She sees it. She accepts.
Seats filled
Two seats. Two yeses. Done.
Nina — too late
Nina taps a moment later. She sees nothing — no event, no sender.
Complete
Pete, Emma, and Tom never opened it. They'll never know.

Designed for moments like these

Dinner table for four

Four seats. Eight maybe-yeses.

Burst to everyone. The first four in fill the table. No public race, no visible no's, no awkward “wait, who's coming?”

Weekend house

Two beds in the share, last-minute.

Six friends might want them. Send to all six. First two yeses win — everyone else just hears nothing back.

Group cabin trip

Six bunks. A dozen friends.

No fair way to rank them — so don't. Burst it. Whoever commits first goes. Speed becomes the only hierarchy.

Sold-out brunch

A booth for six on Sunday.

More than six friends would jump on it. Send to your whole list. Fastest in fills the bench.

Boat day

Six seats on the sailboat.

Goes Saturday if the wind cooperates. Whoever commits by Friday gets a spot. The weather decides; nobody else has to.

Concert + extras

Three extra tickets to a sold-out show.

Send to your five most-likely friends. First three to commit walk in with you. The last two never know they weren't in.
