Choose the event list you need

Use Upcoming for what is next, Hosting for events you manage, or All for your complete event list. The count beside each tab shows how many events are in that view.

Home keeps upcoming events and the most common actions together.

Open or respond to an event

Swipe through the event cards and tap one to open its event details. When an RSVP control appears on a card, you can review or change your response.

Search, share, or create

Use Search to find an event by name or host, the share action on an event card to send its invitation, or the plus button to create a new event.

Expected result

You can quickly reach the event you need and understand whether you are attending or hosting it.

Platform notes

Before you continue

iPhone and Android

Home uses the same tabs, card actions, search, and create button on both platforms.

Event order

Upcoming events are organized by their scheduled date. Past events remain available from broader event views when supported.

Troubleshooting

If something does not look right

An expected event is missing

Check All, search by event name, and confirm you are signed into the account that received the invitation.

The wrong RSVP appears

Open the event and choose your current response. Home updates after the latest RSVP is saved.

Understand how it works

Hostly concepts behind this task

See what is coming up

Home brings the events available to you into one place. Each event preview shows the details you need to recognize the plan—such as its name, date, time, and your relationship to it—before you open the full event.

Understand your event list

Upcoming plans are prioritized so the events that need attention stay easy to reach. Events you host and events you are attending live together, so you do not need to switch between separate hosting and guest views.

Open an event

Select any event to open its full workspace. From there you can review the latest details, respond to the invitation, see who is coming, use the planning tools, or catch up on the conversation.

Find an older or missing event

Use Search when an event is not immediately visible. Search only returns events available to your account, so an invitation may need to be accepted before a private event appears.

Start something new

Use the create action to begin a new event, add the essentials, and invite people when you are ready. You can return to the draft as the plan develops instead of deciding every detail at once.
