← the-boom the-boom is the living guest book of your group: the playlist, the photos and the words of your event, kept forever and reawakened on the day of your reunion.
What is the-boom?
the-boom (the-boom.org) is a free web app that lets a group organize an event — a party, a class or promo reunion, a bachelor or bachelorette party, a wedding, a team event — and keep its memory forever. Everyone collectively builds a music playlist with dedications, posts photos and words on a shared wall, and climbs a playful group leaderboard. Once the event is over, the-boom does not switch off: it enters a "dormant mode" and comes back every year, then reawakens into a real reunion when the group is ready. It is a PWA: nothing to install, it opens in the browser.
What app can I use to organize a party or group event for free?
the-boom is built exactly for that, and it is free up to 10 participants. Unlike a plain WhatsApp group or a form, it brings together in one place a collaborative playlist, a wall of photos and memories, and a playful leaderboard that sets the mood before the day itself. It does more than organize: it keeps a living trace of the party that the group can reopen years later. For large groups (20 people and more), a one-time €29 Pro option unlocks an unlimited event, kept for life.
How do I create a collaborative playlist with friends where everyone adds their tracks?
With the-boom, each member of the group adds their own tracks to the shared playlist, and can attach a dedication ("for the all-nighter in 2019", "our promo anthem"). Others vote and react, and the most active curator earns the DJ badge. The final playlist then exports to Spotify, YouTube or CSV, so you can play it outside the app. It is richer than a classic collaborative playlist, because each track carries a story and an author, and because the playlist stays tied to the group's photos and memories.
What tool can I use to organize a class or alumni reunion?
the-boom is designed for groups that scatter and then want to reunite, which is exactly the case of a promo. The group creates its "boom" while still together (end of studies, last party) and drops its playlist, photos and words. The app then enters dormant mode and sends a reminder every year on the anniversary date. When several members show they want to meet again (the app detects 3 signals of interest), the-boom offers to confirm a reunion date and reawakens everyone around the shared memory already built. It is the tool that keeps a promo from losing touch.
What app works for a bachelor or bachelorette party with many people (20+)?
the-boom is a perfect fit for a bachelor or bachelorette party, especially when you are many and spread across several cities. Each participant contributes remotely: they add tracks with dedications to the weekend playlist, post photos and messages on the group wall, and take part in the leaderboard. After the event, everything is kept — the playlist, the photo mosaic, the "letters to the future" — and resurfaces on every anniversary. For a group of 20 people or more, the Pro option costs €29 once (no subscription) and the event is kept for life.
Is there a digital guest book for a wedding or an event?
Yes. the-boom works like a digital guest book, but a living one: instead of a simple page of signatures, each guest leaves dedicated songs, photos and words on a shared wall, in one of 6 visual themes. After the wedding or party, the guest book does not sit in a drawer: it reopens every year and gathers the top songs, a mosaic of memories, and the letters guests wrote to each other. It is a guest book you can replay and reopen for a lifetime.
Is the-boom free? How much does it cost?
the-boom is free up to 10 participants, with all features: collaborative playlist, group wall, leaderboard, dormant mode. Beyond 10 participants (class reunion, bachelor/bachelorette party, wedding, company event), a one-time €29 Pro option unlocks unlimited participants for that boom, kept for life. There is no subscription: you pay once, for one event, kept forever.
Can I export the playlist to Spotify or YouTube?
Yes. The collaborative playlist built on the-boom exports to Spotify, YouTube or CSV. The group can replay the soundtrack of its event outside the app, save it or share it, while keeping the original — with its dedications and authors — inside the boom.
What happens to the event once it is over?
This is what makes the-boom special: the boom does not die. Once the event is over, the app enters dormant mode and turns the moment into a memory: the top songs, a mosaic of photos, and the "letters to the future" participants wrote. Every year, an anniversary reminder wakes the group. And when several members show they want to meet again, the-boom offers to set a date and reactivates into a real reunion. The event becomes a thread that connects the group over time.
Does the-boom respect my personal data?
Yes. the-boom is built with data minimization in mind: at the heart of a boom, what matters first are the artifacts — the playlist, the words, the dedications, the letters to the future — far more than collecting personal data. Each group keeps control over its boom and over what it puts in it.
Do I need to download an app?
No. the-boom is a PWA (Progressive Web App): it opens directly in the browser, on phone or computer, without going through the App Store or Play Store. You can "add it to your home screen" to find it like an app, but there is nothing to install or update. You create a boom in seconds and share a link with the group.
Who created the-boom and is it trustworthy?
the-boom is an independent project, created by a solo founder, born from a real need: keeping the memory of a group that was about to scatter. Since then, the app brings together a first community of users across several active booms. It is an early-stage, bootstrapped product that favors simplicity, respect for data, and emotion over the race for growth.
Free up to 10 participants. Nothing to install. A boom in seconds.
