Cut-paper collage: a misty pine forest under a paper sun, a robot arm planting a sapling next to a blue solar panel, ferns, gears and mushrooms.From Edge City to Amanita Festival, the gatherings inventing new ways to live run on EdgeOS. Applications, passes, payments and check-in in one place. Open source, MIT licensed, yours to run.
Most gatherings still run on duct tape.
A form tool for applications. A spreadsheet for reviews. Payment links in DMs. A shared doc for the schedule. A printed list at the gate. Every edition you rebuild the stack — and lose what you learned about your people.

One system. Same people every edition.

- Each new edition starts with everything you already know
From the first application to the next edition.
EdgeOS covers the full life of a gathering. Each stage passes clean data to the next.
- 01
Apply
Branded application forms with custom fields, sections and conditional questions.
- 02
Curate
Review queues, scoring and decisions — accept, waitlist or decline, with a full trail.
- 03
Pay
Passes, housing and add-ons. Card or crypto, installments, coupons and scholarships.
- 04
Program
A shared calendar where attendees host sessions, RSVP and sync to their own calendar.
- 05
Check in
QR passes scanned at the gate, self check-in and live attendance for staff.
- 06
Remember
A people database that persists across editions, so you never start from zero.
Everything a pop-up village runs on.
Use the full stack, or start with the parts you need. Every module shares the same people, products and permissions.
Applications & form builder
Multi-step applications with custom fields per edition. Applicants save, return and track their status.
Curation & reviews
Spread reviews across your team, score candidates and decide with full history.
Products & sales flows
Passes, housing, merch and patron tiers. Compose checkout funnels without code.
Payments, card & crypto
Card and crypto via SimpleFi. Installments, coupons, discounts and scholarships built in.
Attendee portal
A home for every attendee: QR pass, purchases, directory, groups and schedule.
Program & calendar
Attendee-hosted sessions, venues, RSVPs and .ics feeds for any calendar app.
Live operations
QR check-in, door-staff mode, badges and real-time attendance for the team on the ground.
People database
One profile per human across every edition: history, roles, purchases and participation.
Multi-tenant backoffice
Run many gatherings from one place, each with its own theme, team and role-based access.
Attendees get a portal, not an inbox.
Once accepted, attendees land in a portal themed to your gathering. It's where they pay, find their people, build their week and walk through the gate.
QR pass
One code for the gate, the venues and every session.
Directory & groups
See who's in town, form groups, coordinate housing.
Personal schedule
RSVP to sessions, host their own, sync with .ics.
Self check-in
Arrivals without a line when staff is busy.
