About this app

Your community. Your rules. Your revenue.

Gather is a community platform built on a simple idea: you should have real tools to organize and run your community, you should be able to charge for access if you want, and you should know exactly what happens with your data.

Create a Gathering. Run it your way. Start a community for anything in minutes. Organize it with sections and thread prefixes. Set a role hierarchy with owner, admin, moderator, and member levels. Control who can view and post in each section. Set your community to public or private with an approval queue for new members. Pin important posts. Lock threads. Move conversations between sections. Soft delete content so mods can review it. Track every action with admin and mod logs. Enable post approval queues so nothing goes live without review. Let members report content, @mention each other, and follow specific threads for notifications.

These aren't someday features. They're live now.

Charge for access if you want. Gate your community, set your price, and earn directly from your members. Or keep it free and open. It's your Gathering.

Thousands of communities already here. Off-roading, homebrewing, competitive shooting, knife making, vintage fashion, woodworking, collecting, and hundreds more. Active communities with real members, some going back over 20 years. Join one. Join twenty. Or start your own.

Your data is your data. We don't sell your posts, photos, or conversations. We don't build behavioral profiles. We don't let an algorithm decide what you see. You see what your community posts, when they post it.

Real people. Real conversations. Every member has a profile, post history, and reputation that builds over time. The person who's been contributing for 12 years looks different from someone who joined yesterday. That trust matters.

Knowledge that lasts. A conversation from five years ago is still searchable and useful today. Nothing disappears into an endless scroll. Everything stays organized, archived, and findable.

Ratings and reviews

The Gather app for the Smith & Wesson forum is a game changer! I used to access the forum on my phone, but the format was a nightmare on a cell phone. The Gather app makes access to the forum a breeze. The app is easy to use and is very organized. It is much easier to navigate the threads, and the format is much cleaner on a phone. Probably the best feature is you can link all of your forum accounts and access them from one app. Thank you for this!

App is a handy way to keep track of various participating forums and receive notifications from all in a single platform. Much prefer over having to click on links via email to various forums and open each in a webpage and remember my distinct credentials to login to each one. Once I created and logged into Gather using the same email I had used to sign up for each forum, it was able to identify my pre-existing account and took care of logging me in from there.

I’m using Gather mainly to follow a few forums on my phone. Setup was quick, navigation makes sense, and it’s easy to jump into threads without hunting around. I did run into a readability issue early on, but the latest update fixed it for me.
