Rumpus

Free plans for the friend group that actually hangs out

Rumpus is a Discord app. Make a plan, let everyone answer In, Maybe or Out, and let it run itself. It repeats every week in a server if you want, DMs reminders, locks in once enough people are In, and calls itself off if there aren't enough. When you're just up for something, tap I'm down and your circle knows.

Not sure what to type? /rumpus puts everything on buttons. There's a raccoon buddy named Kit too.

It's opt-in, and it's free right now. Nothing is recorded until you run /optin, and your check-ins go to your circle and nobody else.

Get going

1. Add Rumpus to your server (or to your own apps, see below).
2. Run /optin. It's one pop-up form: tick that you're 13+, pick your time zone and your circle, pick what you share, and tick any DMs you want (a recap, alerts on you, plans and free-time cards). Nothing is ticked for you.
3. Run /plan new, or tap I'm down on the panel. Lost? /rumpus has a button for everything.

Server admins: run /panel in a channel to post the buttons. It keeps working after restarts.

What you get

Plans. /plan new makes a card with In, Maybe and Out. It stays penciled in until you lock it. In a server, put every fri 8pm in the time and it repeats every week, with an invite to last week's crew (two repeating plans at a time). Everyone who's In or Maybe gets a reminder DM: 1 day, 1 hour or 15 minutes before, your pick, or the usual two (1 hour and 15 minutes). auto_confirm:3 locks the plan in once 3 people are In. min:4 calls it off if fewer than 4 are In at the cutoff, and everyone who said In gets one DM (servers only). The card has an Add to calendar button for Google, Apple or Outlook, and servers can make a Discord event from it. Spot a plan in the chat? Right-click that message (or long-press on your phone), pick Apps, then Plan this. The form opens with the message as the title, and the time filled in if it says one.

Your friend said 10 minutes. Rumpus makes them mean it. Give a plan a voice channel to meet in, and a game if you want. About 5 minutes after the start, anyone who said In and isn't in the call gets one DM: Hop in, 10 more min or Can't make it. If the whole crew shows up, the card says so. Nobody's ever marked late. Servers only.

When are we free? /plan when posts a poll for next week's evenings (7, 8 and 9 PM on the starter's clock, shown in everyone's own time). Everyone picks what works in a private ballot. While it runs, the card shows how many people voted. When it closes, it shows counts for the best evenings if 3 or more picked one, never who voted, and you get a Plan it button. Servers only.

I'm down. /down, /notdown, /whosdown. Your circle sees it, even if you're invisible, because you chose to post it. It runs two hours unless you say different (/down 11pm, /down late). /whosdown shows who's down, and who's in a call you could hop into.

Alerts. /alert person, /alert squad min:3, /alert game name:Valorant, or right-click a friend (or long-press on your phone), pick Apps, then Ping me when they're down. A person or squad alert DMs you when they say they're down or hop in a call you could join. A game alert DMs you when they start that game. Each DM has Snooze and I'm down too, plus Join voice when they're in voice. A friend can only be alerted on if they said yes to it in setup. One an hour at most, nothing during your quiet hours.

Best time. Tap your usual free times with /settings usual. /besttime shows the top three windows, like "Thu 8-11 PM, 4 of 5 usually free". It never names who's free.

Free time. /free tonight 8-11 tells the channel or the friends you pick. Everyone sees their own local time.

Kit's place. Kit is a raccoon buddy who grows as you show up (/today, tap Say hi once a day). Tap Open Kit's place on your /rumpus home and his room opens inside Discord. Give him a snack, play, and as he grows, pick his look and set up his shelf. The Lounge is a tab in there, a shared room for the people in your Activity, usually your voice call. If you've set up Rumpus and your buddy's on, your Kit walks in on his own when you open it. The others see him, your Discord display name on him, the emotes you send, and his look if Show my look is on. Not your room, shelf, plans or days. To just look around, switch Bring my buddy off. Saying hi counts toward his growing, and so does showing up to a plan someone else said In to. Pressing I'm down doesn't. He naps when you're away and never dies or shrinks. Playing around and the Lounge don't count toward anything.

Weekly goal and daily DM. Three hellos and one hang a week (a hang is a plan you went to with at least one other person In; pick two or three if you want more). Eight weeks in a row banks a free week, and your personal best sticks around. The daily DM is off until you turn it on, goes out at the hour you pick, never from midnight to 6 AM or in your quiet hours (10 PM to 8 AM if you haven't set any), and Stop these ends it.

Card styles. /settings open lets you pick Rec Room, Midnight, Arcade or Sunset for your cards. All free right now.

Recaps and cards. A weekly recap every Monday and a bigger monthly review on the 1st (both only if you say yes to recap DMs), and /mystats and /squad cards with a Share button. A shared recap leaves out your friends' invisible time (yours too, unless you turned on "Visible to my circle while invisible"). Servers can post a squad recap (totals only, no names, and never any time someone spent invisible).

Wrapped. /wrapped is your year in hangs: voice hours with the squad, check-ins, weeks with a hang, biggest day or night, busiest month, top game lately and a hangout type like Night Owl or Weekend Warrior. It opens December 15 and closes January 10. Posting it leaves out your friends' invisible time (yours too, unless you turned on "Visible to my circle while invisible"). Servers can post a squad Wrapped, totals only.

Community best time. /community besttime shows the best times for a voice night in the server, like "12 of 40 usually free". Counts only. It counts people who said yes to "Include me in posted squad cards", and it needs three.

Privacy, plainly

• Opt-in only. 13+ only. Voice, online status (which includes the game you're playing) and message times are separate switches, all off until you turn them on.
• DMs are your call. The setup form has three DM tick boxes and none starts ticked. They're the same three questions /settings open asks: "Get a recap every Monday and on the 1st by DM?", "Let people in your circle set alerts on you?" and "Can people in your circle send you plans and free-time cards by DM?" Each stays off unless you tick it.
• Doesn't read chat. No Message Content intent. Message times means that you posted and when. The one exception is a message you pick yourself with Plan this: Rumpus gets that one message's words to fill in the plan form, and doesn't save or log them unless you send the form (then they're your plan's title).
• You pick your circle. Check-ins and patterns go to your circle and nobody else.
• You can only set an alert on someone whose circle includes you and who said yes to alerts on them. /privacy shows who has one on you.
• Invisible means hidden: you stay out of alerts and cards. One setting, off until you flip it, lets only your circle see you in voice, posting or playing on a linked Steam, and your invisible hours then count for them. Your own I'm down always shows.
• Your raccoon, your hellos and your weekly goal are private. Your circle and server admins can't see them, except in the Lounge, where the people in it with you see your buddy. The buddy keeps a yes or no per day, never who you were with. The daily DM is off until you turn it on.
• The community best time is opt-in and anonymous in the ways above.
• Steam linking is optional. You prove the account with a code in your Steam profile name, so there's no password. It only checks your Steam while Online status is on, and it never goes into cards or Wrapped. /steam unlink ends it.
• /optout pauses. /forget-me deletes everything. /settings export sends you your data.
• Raw activity, check-ins, alert history and /free posts are kept 90 days, then deleted. Hourly totals are kept 13 months. Your buddy stays until /forget-me, and the days that counted are kept 13 months. A nightly backup is kept 14 days, so deleted data can sit in a backup for up to 14 days. Log files hold no names or IDs. No selling data, no ads.
• Intents used: Presence and Server Members, only for opted-in members. Message Content is off. The Add to Server link asks for View Channels, Send Messages, Embed Links, Attach Files, Read Message History, Use Application Commands, Create and Manage Events, and Send Polls. No Administrator, no moderation powers.

Two installs

Add to Server: the full app, including the panel, alerts, repeating plans, minimums, /plan when, recaps and the community best time. Add to My Apps: your own commands (/rumpus, /down, /free, plans, best times, your raccoon, stats, cards, Wrapped) in any server or DM. Can't see voice, so alerts need the server install. Repeating plans, minimums and /plan when need the server install too.
