Your samahan
Your barkada, ninongs and family, in one place
Name it, add a line about what it is, and give it a photo — the barkada, the parish youth, the clan. Every member sees the same space, and only members can open it.
Your barkada, ninongs and family — together.
- 01
Name your samahan
Give it a name and, if you like, a line about what it is. You start as its organizer, and an invite link is ready the moment it is created. Tap the photo to add one and tap the name to change it — any member can.
- 02
Bring everyone in
Share the invite link. Whoever opens it sees the samahan’s name and how many people are in it, signs in, and taps Join. Rotate the link whenever you want and the old one stops working immediately.
- 03
Live in it
Talk in Usapan, record a story that is gone after 24 hours, and when it is time for the reunion or the outing, an organizer plans it from the Events tab and every member finds it there.
A group that belongs to you, not to one event
A samahan lives in your Setnayan account, not inside any wedding or party — so it is there whether or not something is on the calendar, and the next reunion or outing is planned from the same place.
- The reunion planned in a thread nobody can find againThe event on its own tab, where every member finds it
- Clips that sit in everyone’s phone foreverStories that are gone after 24 hours
- An invite that keeps working after it leaksA link an organizer can rotate — the old one stops immediately
- A group one person can shut down on everyoneA samahan that lives while one person is still in it
Chat, stories, and the next get-together
Inside your group, for members only.
Invite link
One link brings everyone in
Organizers share a standing invite link. Whoever opens it sees the samahan’s name and how many people are in it, signs in, and taps Join. If it leaks, rotate it — the old link stops working immediately.
Stories
Short clips, gone after 24 hours
Tap Record and your phone camera takes a short clip, shrinks it, and posts it to the strip. The group is told your clip is there for the next 24 hours; after that it is gone, and you can take it down sooner yourself.
Play the day
Watch the day the way it happened
The strip shows what is new first. Play the day runs every clip still up from the oldest to the newest, one after another, and tapping any clip plays from there to now.
Usapan
The group chat, inside the group
Say something to the group and the rest of the samahan is told once in their Setnayan bell, however busy the chat gets. Your own messages are yours to take down.
Events
Plan the reunion from here
An organizer plans the reunion, the outing, the tournament or the celebration from the Events tab, and every member finds it there. A samahan cannot own a wedding or another personal milestone — those stay with the person.
Questions, answered
- What is a Samahan?
- A samahan is a group in your Setnayan account: one shared space for your barkada, parish, or clan — their reunions, tournaments, and outings all in one place. It has a name and a group photo, a chat called Usapan, a strip of short stories, and the events an organizer plans for it. It belongs to you as a person, not to any one event.
- How do we make one, and who runs it?
- Give it a name, add a line about what it is if you like, and it is yours — creating one is free. You start as its organizer, and an invite link is ready the moment it is created. Any member can rename the samahan or change its photo, post in Usapan, record a story, and leave. Organizers hold the invite link, promote or demote members, remove someone, and plan events.
- How does someone join?
- An organizer shares the invite link. Whoever opens it sees the samahan’s name and how many people are in it, signs in or creates a free account, and taps Join. If the link leaks, an organizer rotates it and the old link stops working immediately.
- What are Samahan Stories?
- Tap Record and your phone camera takes a short clip, shrinks it, and posts it to the strip. The rest of the group is told your clip is there for the next 24 hours. When those hours are up it is gone — and you can take it down sooner yourself. Play the day plays every clip that is still up, from the oldest to the newest.
- What is Usapan?
- Usapan is the group chat. Say something and the rest of the samahan is told once in their Setnayan bell, however busy the chat gets. Your own messages are yours to take down.
- Can a samahan plan an event?
- Yes. An organizer plans a reunion, an outing, a tournament or a celebration from the Events tab, and it shows up there for every member. A samahan cannot own a wedding or another personal milestone — those stay with the person. You open the events you have been added to; for the rest, ask an organizer to add you.
Start with the people
Name your samahan, share the link, and the barkada is in — with Usapan, stories that are gone after 24 hours, and the reunion planned from the same place.
