About Wendus

Fact-checked July 13, 2026 for Wendus 1.2

Wendus is a local-first wedding guest-list, seating-chart, venue-planning, and offline QR check-in app for iPhone and iPad. It keeps planning and event-day operations together without requiring a Wendus account or live cloud service.

From the guest list to the venue door

Import or enter guests, group them by household, track invitations and RSVP details, build a rule-aware seating plan, sketch the venue, prepare opaque QR passes, and run check-in after the device goes offline. Wendus also creates vendor exports containing only selected fields and passphrase-protected event backups.

• Guest lists and CSV import with column mapping and a preview before changes are applied.
• Deterministic seating drafts with visible hard rules, soft preferences, manual moves, and issue reporting.
• Venue PDF/image import, feet-or-meters calibration, measured tables, zones, and restricted-area rules.
• Offline QR check-in with household arrival waves, manual fallback, and revoke/reissue.
• Encrypted nearby Venue Handoff packets and a merge of returned check-in records.
• Encrypted archives, portable .wendusbackup files, and post-event privacy closeout.

Local-first by design

The app stores its event snapshot in encrypted local SQLite storage. Imported venue maps are protected local files. Wendus does not transmit wedding event data to a developer-operated server and does not provide live cloud sync. A portable backup moves the complete event between devices; Venue Handoff transfers a limited check-in packet between nearby Wendus devices.

The public website is separate from the app. wendus.app uses Google Analytics 4 and Cloudflare Web Analytics for aggregate website traffic and performance measurement. See the privacy policy for the full boundary.

Free Core and One Wedding Pass

Free Core supports one main event with up to 50 guests. A local three-day premium planning trial requires no payment and does not automatically charge. One Wedding Pass is a consumable purchase for one locked wedding period of up to 28 days. It removes Wendus's 50-guest cap for that period and enables multiple schedule events and premium venue tools. Apple's storefront shows the final localized price; the recorded United States price is $50.

What Wendus is not

Wendus is not a wedding website builder, registry, guest portal, vendor account system, live cloud collaboration service, or automatic email/SMS/WhatsApp delivery service. Its seating engine is a deterministic heuristic—not an AI model or exact solver—and it reports conflicts instead of promising a perfect plan.
