There's no built-in way to RSVP to a repeating event without Facebook or an app: one-off invite tools like Partiful and Apple Invites make a new page per event, and Facebook Events needs a Facebook account.
Junto is a shared calendar with an RSVP on every date, so a weekly run club or a monthly game night has one link the group keeps coming back to.
No login, no app, just the calendar.
A weekly run club, a monthly board game night, a Sunday five-a-side: these are the same group meeting again and again, not a single party. A one-off invite tool wants a new page for every date.
That means recreating the guest list, the link and the RSVPs every single week. The group needs one calendar, not fifty invitations.
Search 'event RSVP without Facebook' or 'recurring event RSVP no signup' and the results are still one-off tools with a fresh event page for each date. None of them are built to be reused week after week.
Facebook Events is the default for a lot of recurring meetups, but it requires a Facebook account. Anyone in the group without one, or who doesn't want to mix a social feed with a running club, is locked out before they can RSVP.
Junto asks for a name, nothing else.
Partiful, Mixily, Invite.social and Apple Invites are built for a single occasion, and they're genuinely better than Junto at it: real invitation design, themes and templates that make one party feel like an event.
None of them are built to hold a standing group. Use one of them for a birthday party or a launch. Use Junto for the group that meets again and again.
Create a Junto calendar and share the link and code with your group once. Add each date as its own event: this week's run, next month's game night.
Members join by typing their name, no account and no app. Each event carries its own RSVP, so who's going is never a guess.
New person joins the group in month three? Send them the same link. They see the whole calendar, past and upcoming, and can RSVP to what is still ahead.
Junto does not have an automatic repeat rule; there's no button that spins up next Tuesday's run for you. Each date gets added as its own event.
What that buys you is an RSVP per date instead of one RSVP for the whole series. Someone who's in most weeks but skipping this one can say so on that specific event, and who's going shows the actual headcount for that date, not the group's average attendance.
Junto has no automatic recurrence: you add each date as an event yourself, and there's no repeat rule that generates future weeks. It also has no invitation templates or design themes, the way Partiful and Apple Invites do, and no built-in chat for the group to talk logistics.
If a polished single-event invite matters more than a standing calendar, a one-off tool will look better. If your group meets again and again, Junto is where that stays organized.
Only Junto is built for a group that keeps meeting, with an RSVP on every date.

Create the calendar, share the link once, and add your first few dates. Optional email reminders mean people don't have to remember to check.
It's free for groups up to 8. A bigger club, like a 15-person run group, needs the one-time $4.99 plus tax unlock, no subscription.
Try it
Create a calendar in 30 seconds. No login, no app, free up to 8 members.
Use a calendar tool that doesn't require an account, like Junto. Create a calendar, share the link with your group, and each person joins by typing their name and RSVPs going, maybe, or not going on any event. No Facebook account, no app install. Set up your group's calendar and add the next date to try it.
Junto runs in a browser, so nobody downloads anything. Share a link and a code once, and everyone who opens it can view the calendar and RSVP from their phone or laptop. It's built for a group that meets more than once, not a single party. Share your calendar link to get the group in.
Add each week's game night as its own event on a Junto calendar and let members RSVP to that specific date. Who's going shows the names right on the event, so you know the headcount before anyone shows up. Junto has no automatic repeat rule, so you add each date yourself, but every date keeps its own RSVP. Create your calendar and add this week's date first.
No. Facebook Events requires a Facebook account to create or RSVP to an event. If your group wants an RSVP option that does not need one, Junto asks for just a name: no account, no app, and each event gets its own RSVP. Create a calendar for your group instead.
Partiful is built for a single party and it looks better doing it, with real invitation design. It's not made to hold a group that meets every week or month, since each event needs its own new page. Junto keeps one calendar the group returns to, with a fresh RSVP on every date. Use Partiful for the one-off party and Junto for the standing group.
Yes. Turn on who's going in Junto and every event, including each week's run, shows the names of people who RSVP'd. Since each date is its own event, this week's headcount is separate from last week's, not an average or a guess. Add your next run as an event to see it in action.
No. Junto works in any browser on phone or laptop, so there's nothing to install. Members join with a link and their name, and RSVP on each date directly from the page. It's built for the group that keeps meeting, not a single event. Share your calendar's link to get started.
Junto is free for a private calendar with up to 8 members, and public calendars have no member cap at all. Add each week's date as an event and RSVP settles per date, with who's going shown on every one. Past 8 members, a one-time $4.99 plus tax removes the cap, no subscription. Start your group's calendar to see if you need it.
Junto has optional email reminders per calendar, so members don't have to remember to check back. Add your dates as events and turn reminders on when you set up the calendar. It's one of the few pieces that doesn't need a native app to work. Set up your group's calendar and turn reminders on.
A group chat buries the RSVP in a scroll of messages: you're scanning for who said yes to this Sunday's game. Junto puts RSVP going, maybe or not going directly on each event, with who's going visible without scrolling. It still takes a link and a name to join, nothing more. Create a calendar for your group instead of tracking replies in chat.
Yes. A new member who joins a Junto calendar in its third month sees the same calendar everyone else does, past events and all, not a fresh empty page. They can catch up on what the group has been doing and RSVP to whatever is still upcoming. Send them the calendar link to bring them in.
No. Junto has no automatic repeat rule, so each date is added as its own event by whoever is organizing. What you get in exchange is an RSVP and a who's-going list on every single date, not just a series someone half-remembers to update. Add this week's event now and the next one when you're ready.
