Unplanned Club

The human layer that holds the company together.

Great companies aren't built on perks.
They're built on people who genuinely know each other.

    Feed

    the everyday window into the company.

    A scrolling stream of what people inside the company are doing, building, watching, and laughing about. Photos from the weekend ride, a short video from the offsite, a quick note about a side project. The feed is the everyday window into the company beyond the team you sit with.

    Posts are ranked around interests, not seniority — what surfaces matches who you are, not just who sits near you. The mix changes as your clubs change. The people you work with show up because you work with them; the people you share something with show up because of what you share.

    Clubs

    the bookshelf in the office, scaled.

    Hobby groups, organised by interest. Cyclists, parents, the food crowd, the readers, the people learning the same language. Anyone can start one, anyone can join one, and the club has a feed, a calendar, and a chat of its own.

    Clubs are where shared identity gets a place to live — the bookshelf in the office that used to do this work, now scaled to a company where the office is everywhere. Light enough that someone spins one up in an afternoon and runs it for years; no committee, no quarterly review.

    Meetups

    the calendar that holds a team together.

    Real-life or video gatherings people show up for because they want to. Coffee Tuesdays, board-game nights, walking lunches, after-hours games. Light to create, easy to cancel, real enough to matter.

    Meetups are first-class. They have a date, a place, an RSVP, and a thread that lives on after the event ends. Meetups are how clubs and chats turn into the relationships that keep people somewhere — they convert acquaintance into routine.

    • In-person or video
    • Recurring or one-off
    • Light RSVP
    • Pre- and post-event thread

    Chats

    the thread between the times you see someone.

    Direct messages and small group threads. Voice notes, photos, the conversation that doesn't belong in #general and doesn't need a meeting. The text you send after the coffee, the photo you send the next morning.

    Chats are deliberately small — 1:1 and tight groups, no channels you have to mute, no broadcast bullhorn. They're the connective tissue between meetups: the thread that keeps a relationship alive between the times you see someone.

    Riff

    a different lens on the people behind the titles.

    Every day, Riff surfaces a new activity — a work archetype draw, a two-minute personality quiz, a blind poll, a collaboration style snapshot. Each format rotates. Each one is private by default, shareable in one tap. No streaks, no scores, no pressure to participate. The mix changes. The intent stays the same: show the person, not just the professional.

    When an employee shares a Riff result to the Feed, a coworker from a different team sees themselves in it. A comment lands. A conversation starts — one nobody scheduled, nobody orchestrated. Riff creates the conditions for that to happen. It doesn't force it. Over time, the Feed becomes a record of who the company actually is.

    Games

    the easiest door into the network.

    Quick, low-stakes games and prompts that take a minute and break the day. Two truths and a lie, weekly polls, simple ways to learn one thing about someone before the next meeting.

    Games are async-friendly — they don't need teammates online, they don't need a download, they don't need a meeting. They're the easiest door into the network: small enough that anyone walks through, useful enough that you learn something on the other side.

Frequently asked questions.

If something isn’t answered below, write to us — we read every note.

What is Unplanned Club?

A social network for coworkers. Six small surfaces — Feed, Clubs, Meetups, Chats, Riff, and Games — that help people inside one company actually know each other.

It runs as its own app and on the web. It is not a chat tool, not a meeting tool, not an engagement survey, and not a culture program.

Who is it for?

Companies whose people have spread across offices, time zones, and screens, and who want the human layer of the company to keep up. Most useful for teams of two hundred and up, where the hallway no longer scales but the relationships still need to.

Where does it sit alongside the tools we already use?

Beside them, not on top of them. The tools you already use are about getting work done. Unplanned Club is about the people doing it.

Employees keep using their work software for work. They use Unplanned Club for the parts of being a coworker that aren’t in any ticket — the hobby, the introduction, the Tuesday coffee.

How long does a rollout take?

A pilot can be live within days. A full company rollout — SSO, branding, the initial clubs and meetups — usually takes a few weeks of light work. There is nothing to install on a laptop. We work with your people team on the launch sequence.

What does it cost?

Pricing is published on the pricing page when each plan is ready. Until then, the simplest path is to request a demo — we’ll send a quote shaped for your company.

Is participation optional for employees?

Yes. Every employee can opt out, hide a profile, or limit who sees what. Connection only counts when it’s freely given, so the product is built to make the choice easy and the default respectful.

What do managers and admins see?

Managers see the same product everyone else does. They do not see private chats, private meetups, or who joined which club. There is no surveillance dashboard.

Admins see the aggregate health of the program — adoption, club activity, meetup counts — never the contents of an employee’s feed or messages.

How is data secured?

Encrypted in transit and at rest, with role-scoped access, audit logs, and SSO. The full posture — controls, residency, and current certification status — is shared with customers on request.

Does it support SSO and SCIM?

Yes. SSO via SAML and OIDC, SCIM for provisioning and de-provisioning, and audit logs for admin actions. Employees join through your identity provider; leavers lose access the moment they’re off-boarded.

What languages are supported?

English at launch. We add new languages as they ship, not when they’re planned — the features page lists what’s live today.

How do we try it?

The fastest path is a thirty-minute demo, tailored to your company. No slides. Request one here and we’ll be in touch within one business day.

Perks don't retain people.
Community does.

Most retention programs treat symptoms. The retention layer addresses the root cause — people who don't feel like they belong.
