How Daawat works
Short answers to everything the app asks of you. The ? marks throughout the app open the matching page without losing your place.
Getting started
What Daawat does
Invite people, sort the food, split the bill. All in one place.
Signing in
A code the first time, your password after that.
Put Daawat on your home screen
It works like a real app once installed — and it is the only way to get alerts on iPhone.
Alerts & the bell
What we ping you about, and how to quiet it down.
You & your people
Your family
Add them once and your headcount fills itself in on every invite.
Saved places
Save home once, pick it in one tap forever.
How people pay you
Add your handles so guests can pay you in one tap.
Adding people
Three ways in — and what the "invited" badge means.
Circles
Group the people you invite together anyway.
Hosting a daawat
Creating a daawat
Seven quick questions. Nothing is sent until you publish.
Who is this for?
Sets whether an invite reaches one person, a couple, or a whole family.
Who can see it
Controls what friends see on your profile — not who is invited.
Picking a time
We flag clashes with your people before you lock it in.
Inviting people
Circles, one-by-one, or a link anyone can open.
Sharing the hosting
Let someone else run the event with you.
Changing or cancelling
What you can change, and which changes notify your guests.
The checklist
Everything still to do, and who is doing it.
Going to a daawat
Food
Money
How splitting works
Add what you spent. Daawat works out who owes who.
Same share or by headcount
Divide evenly per household, or by how many people each brought.
Why families pay as one
One bill per invite, not per person through the door.
Fixed amounts & sitting out
Pin what one household pays, or excuse them entirely.
Settling up
Mark a payment as sent, and have the recipient confirm it.
