CatchKeeper
For clubs

Your club, not a borrowed corner of someone else's app.

Committee or three mates, everything a fishing club actually does — membership, comps, the group chat that's really a noticeboard — built by people who understood it's for fishing.

Shapes

Club, crew or three blokes and a boat.

It doesn't have to be formal to be worth having.

The same tools run a constituted club with a committee, a species group that's really a shared obsession or a handful of mates who just want their catches going to the right people. Start wherever you are; formalise later if it turns out you need to.

  • A proper club — membership, committee, the yearly calendar
  • A shared-interest group, built around a species or a stretch of water
  • A buddy group, so your catches go to the four people who care
  • Change shape as you grow, without starting again

Running it

The admin, minus the weekend.

Share the load properly.

Nobody volunteers to be a club secretary twice. Make other members admins and the running of it stops living on one person's phone.

  • Promote members to admin so it isn't all on you
  • Approve or decline join requests; remove members when you have to
  • Moderate posts, to keep things inline with your community expectations
  • Hand the whole group on cleanly when the committee changes

Comps

Nobody's collating results in a spreadsheet.

Competitions that score themselves.

Members log catches on the water and the leaderboard keeps itself. Set the scoring to match how your club has always done it, rather than bending your rules to fit somebody's software.

  • Score on weight, length or count — your rules, not ours
  • Build and save your club's own scoring models
  • Open to all, invite-only or members only
  • Results settled as the day happens, not on Sunday night

Being found

By the right people, not everyone.

Growing without a recruitment drive.

New members are the perennial problem and the ones worth having are fishers who already fish the way your club does. Being on a fishing platform means they can actually find you.

  • A profile that looks like your club — badge, banner, the description you'd write
  • Listed by what you're about and where you fish
  • Findable without being open — discoverability is its own switch

Control

As open or as shut as you like.

Three settings and none of them are a compromise.

A club noticeboard, a private members' room and a group that doesn't appear to anyone who wasn't asked are three different things. So they're three different settings, not one slider.

  • Public — anyone can find it and see what's posted
  • Private — findable, but the inside is members only
  • Secret — invisible unless you were asked in (so secret we cant show the option)
  • On a private group, even the member count stays inside
