Gathio

Self-destructing, no-registration event pages that federate.

About Gathio

Gathio is a free, open-source tool for creating simple event pages without accounts or registration. Pages are self-destructing, deleting themselves after the event, and can federate over ActivityPub so guests can follow updates from the fediverse. Released under the GPL and easy to self-host, it suits community organisers who want lightweight, privacy-respecting event sharing instead of large commercial platforms.
