For the host running it from the queue
Your guest list lives on the page you built. From your phone you can add names, read replies as they land, and nudge whoever has not answered, with no laptop in sight.
You are not going to open a laptop to run a birthday. The guest list for your event lives on the page you built, and there is a view of it on your phone that updates as replies come in. You add names before you send, watch them tick off as people answer, and deal with the stragglers in the same place.
Every guest sits in a state you can read at a glance: invited but not answered, a clear yes, a no, or a yes with a plus-one attached. That last one matters, because it is where a partner or a child shows up in the count without a separate message to match.
The point of keeping it on the device in your hand is that you can act in the gaps:
You have added the name and sent the link, and nothing has come back yet. This is the group you will remind as the deadline comes up.
A confirmed guest, counted with anyone they bring inside your plus-one limit.
A polite decline, off the headcount and off the nudge list, because it does not need chasing.
An extra place that arrived attached to a real name, so you know whose guest it is rather than guessing from an anonymous count.
Chasing replies is the part hosts dread, so keep it small. When the deadline shown on your page is close, the list already separates the answered from the silent. You trigger a reminder and it reaches the quiet guests on the channel you chose, WhatsApp or email, without you typing their names into a group and calling them out.
Because you send it rather than the system sending it on its own, you control the timing. One nudge a week out, another the day before if the numbers still look short, and nothing at all if everyone has answered.
How it works
Open the guest list on your phone and type in the names you are inviting. Set the plus-one rule as you go, so the limit is already in place before anyone replies.
Copy the event address and paste it into your messages or a group. Each guest opens the page, taps the reply button and answers inside the limits you set.
Come back to the list whenever you like. Yeses and declines land as they arrive, and the unanswered stay visible so you know who is still missing.
Close to your deadline, send a reminder to the non-responders from the same screen. On the day, if you are using it, check arrivals against the list rather than a memory.
Questions
Yes, it is a live list. As soon as a guest submits their answer the state changes on your screen, plus-one included, so the headcount you read in the evening is the real one.
Add their name to the list whenever you like and send them the same link. New replies join the count; nothing you collected earlier moves or resets.
The unanswered names stay grouped apart from the yeses and nos. That group is exactly who a reminder should reach, so you never chase a person who already replied.
There is no separate mobile app. The list is a screen on the site you host, and it fits a phone, which is the whole reason you can tidy the headcount in a queue.
