GiroGruppi: Group Maker

GiroGruppi builds balanced groups from a list of people and remembers who prepared and when. Made for parish groups, rotating dinners, volunteer teams, scouts and any community that splits into groups again and again.

FEATURES

Tagged people
Add people and give each one tags such as young, old or has car. Create your own tags. Paste a list of names to import them in one go.

Couples stay together
Link two people as partners: they always end up in the same group and count as one unit when preparation turns are assigned.

Hard and soft rules
Choose how many groups or how many people per group. Add rules: at least or at most N people with a tag per group, balance a tag across groups, a couple in every group, keep people together or apart. Mark each rule as a must (hard) or a preference (soft).

Clear answers
If the rules cannot be satisfied, the app tells you which rule fails and by how much, and offers to relax it. It never claims a group set is impossible when it simply ran out of search time.

Rotation over sessions
Plan sessions over dates and let the app propose who prepares in each group, spreading turns fairly and starting with whoever prepared least recently.

Fewer repeated meetings
Across successive groupings, the app tries to avoid putting the same people together again.

Edit and re-roll
Not happy with a result? Re-roll it, lock people in place or move them between groups, and see rule violations highlighted live.

Several groupings at once
Run different groupings in parallel. People already busy in another grouping in the same period are left out automatically.

Export and backup
Share a grouping as text or CSV. Back up and restore your whole list as a file.

Send to WhatsApp
Send a grouping straight to WhatsApp in the message format communities write by hand: one numbered line per group, couples written together, an optional note and who prepares in each group.

Share the people list
Share your people list, with tags and couples, as a file, also through WhatsApp, and import it on another phone. People already on the list are skipped. A people list or backup received in WhatsApp opens directly with GiroGruppi.

Excel export
Export all your groupings to an Excel (.xlsx) workbook and share it.

Try it in seconds
Load the demo pool of 40 people from the menu and explore every feature. Available in 9 languages: English, Italian, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Chinese. The app opens in your phone's language; you can choose another one in Settings.

PRIVACY
GiroGruppi works offline for everything it does: no account needed. Your groups and people stay on your device. The app shows one banner ad from Google AdMob (non-personalized ads; in the EEA, UK and Switzerland you choose through Google's consent form). Ads need an internet connection, and the AdMob SDK sends data such as IP address, approximate location, ad interactions, diagnostics and the advertising ID to Google. A one-time in-app purchase, Remove ads, removes the ad. Sharing or backing up is always your choice. See the privacy policy for details.
