What's new

   v1.14 · beta

   One product, one address, and the volunteer half in the open

   • One product, one name. A volunteer program used to carry a second name and a purple wordmark of its own, so the same app introduced itself two different ways depending on which half of it you were standing in. Both are retired. Every screen says Coetio now, and a program keeps its purple: that color is reserved for volunteer programs, and a club can no longer pick the violet nearest to it.
   • Coetio is one product on one address. A volunteer program was always the same thing as a club underneath, and on September 6, 2026 it became the same website too: coevio.com now redirects to coetio.com, keeping the path and the query, and everything a coordinator uses lives at coetio.com/volunteers. Old bookmarks land in the right place, and a calendar already subscribed to the old address keeps working.
   • One dashboard answers for both. Somebody who leads a club and coordinates a program sees both in one place, and the club switcher moves between them.
   • A volunteer program can be created from the app. It used to take a command run by hand. Any signed-in account can now start one at coetio.com/volunteers/new, and it does not need a beta invite code.
   • The shift board publishes a week at a time. Shifts are drafted first, and volunteers see nothing until the week is published. Staffing a shift uses the same person picker as the rest of the app.
   • A volunteer program has its own settings screen. The modules a program can turn on are worded for a program rather than a club, and the Applications row no longer offers a switch that changed nothing.
   • There is a volunteer demo at coetio.com/demo/volunteers. It runs on the same made-up fixtures as the club demo, so no real program or volunteer appears in it.
   • Clubs can take applications too. The custom form, the queue, the interview notes and the onboarding steps were built for volunteer programs; a club owner can now switch the same pipeline on in Settings.
   • Decisions shipped on August 25, 2026 and was never written down here: a module a club can turn on, holding a proposal the group votes on and then finalizes, kept afterwards as a record of what was decided and when.
   • Documents: every folder now carries a visibility rule, and every role has a folder. A file is readable by the roles its folder names.
   • Minutes are a document of typed blocks rather than one long box of text, so a heading is a heading and a decision is a decision.
   • Saving stopped throwing the page away. Adding an event, editing a task, changing a roster row, adding a committee member or handing out an agenda item now updates the list in place, keeping the scroll position and anything else typed on the screen. Every one of those forms still works with JavaScript switched off.
   • A saved row now says which one it was. On a list of six meetings that all read the same, the row that just changed lights up as the page returns to it.
   • Your dashboard has a side bar, and it goes somewhere. Upcoming events and your tasks were tabs that swapped a panel on the dashboard; each is a page of its own now, listing everything across every club and program you belong to, with nothing cut off at three rows. The side bar links to both, plus your week, and carries a count of what is waiting behind each one.

   What came out, said plainly

   • Coetio no longer has a page that faces the open internet. On August 29, 2026 the public club page's content, the hallway TV display, the embeddable events widget, the public calendar feeds and the public stats page were all removed. A club link still works, but it is a join gateway and it shows a visitor nothing about the club.
   • The school-wide view is gone. It was removed on August 24, 2026, along with the club directory it read from. Verifying a school adds a badge to that school's clubs. It builds no console, and it gives no member of staff a login into any club.
   • Gone with the public pages: social links on a club page, following a club without joining it, and the setting for choosing what a public page shows. Photo galleries a club already uploaded are kept and still download in a backup, but nothing displays them.
   • Dashboard sections no longer reorder. The dashboard was rebuilt as one column and the drag handles went with the old layout. Today's essentials still save to your phone for when there is no signal.
   • Older entries below carry a "Removed" note where the feature they announced is gone, with the date it went. Nothing that shipped is edited out of the record.

   v1.12 · beta

   A timed agenda, task records that tell the truth, and Coetio on your home screen

   • The meeting agenda is a timeline now. Give each item a start time and a length, and meeting mode draws the plan as bars in your committees' colors. Start an item when the room gets to it, and several can run at once. Drag a bar when the meeting drifts, or use the minus and plus buttons beside it, which do the same thing without a mouse.
   • Members can start and tick their own agenda lines. Once the minutes are shared, a member on a task sees Start on their line, and their tick marks their own part done. A leader's tick still means the room covered it. The two never overwrite each other.
   • The task page does everything now. Rename steps, reorder them, put a smaller step under another, and say whose step each one is. Steps are numbered for everyone, 1, 2, 3 and 1a, 1b for sub-steps; the only choice left is whether the number itself is the tick box.
   • When every step is ticked, the task's page asks whether the whole task is finished. It never decides on its own. If a leader marks a task finished for everyone, the record says so with the leader's name, and each person's row says their part was marked done for them. Nobody's history claims they ticked a box they never touched.
   • Archived tasks can come back: one button on the archived list. And a task can't be emptied to nobody, while taking someone off asks twice, because their part of the record goes with them.
   • The events page tells you which upcoming meetings still need an agenda: an amber nudge when there's nothing, a quiet in-progress mark while you're building one, and a green ready mark when it's set.
   • Club and committee icons can be any emoji. Type one or pick from suggestions.
   • Every name and avatar opens that person's member record, when your role can see records. Board cards open their task, and the event cards on your dashboard open the event.
   • Cancelling an event now tells the club. The notice is on by default, you can add a reason, and members get an announcement and a push. The button says Cancel on an upcoming event and Move to trash on a past one, because those are different acts.
   • Suspension actually suspends now. A review found roughly half the app forgot to check, so a suspended club could still bulk-create events, import rosters, and email dues reminders. One gate covers all of it, everyone in the club sees a banner saying what's going on, each person gets the full explanation once, and only the owner gets the appeal button.
   • Coetio asks to go on your home screen, politely. Phone only, on your third visit at least a day after your first, on a quiet page, never over a form or a check-in. Say not now once and it waits a month; twice and it never asks again. On iPhone it tells you the truth: notifications only work once Coetio is on the Home Screen. The same offer sits permanently in your Profile.
   • The app got smaller on a phone. The signed-in footer is gone from about fifteen screens, an events row is half its old height, and the tasks filter bar folds away.
   • Four moments celebrate, and only four: ticking a task, the reaction heart, poll bars filling in, and your check-in streak. All of them hold still if you've asked for reduced motion, in your device settings or in Coetio's own switch, and that now covers the delays and the vibration too.
   • Volunteer hours: approve everything pending in one tap, and export a spreadsheet of approved hours.
   • Money entries can be edited after they're logged.
   • Marking someone present by hand now shows on the event's own page as well as the day's attendance log.
   • Check-in stopped guessing. If your phone truly has no connection, your check-in queues and sends itself later. If the server answered with an error, you see the real error instead of a promise that it will send automatically.
   • The main Settings card split into three that each save on their own, so changing the meeting day can't wipe an unsaved edit two sections up. Elections moved to their own page.
   • Owners get a review queue on the dashboard: pending joins, hours to approve, budget requests, suggestions, and attendance fixes, all in one place.
   • Minutes say who can see them the same way everywhere: a "Leaders only" or "Shared with members" chip, and a share control right on the meeting screen. Ending the meeting does not share them. That stays your call.
   • Approval buttons answer first and send their emails after. Checking in takes 5 round trips where it took about 11, and an RSVP flips at once and flips back with a message when the save is refused.
   • A security pass closed eight holes, including read receipts that could be faked, a hallway TV that showed school-only events to the public, and a join-code lookup that leaked the club's meeting password.RemovedThe hallway TV display was removed on August 29, 2026, with every other page that faced the open internet. The other seven fixes stand.
   • Removed: suggesting and volunteering for event checklist items. Clubs were asked and the data was checked; nobody used either. Every checklist item is leader-created now, and the event screens got simpler.

   v1.11 · beta

   Task pages, a calendar, and roles that outlast their officers

   • Every task has its own page. Open one from the tasks list, your dashboard, a committee, or someone's member record: what the job is, when it's due said the way people say it ("in 3 days"), who's on it, its steps, and the meeting it came out of.
   • That page keeps the task's history. When it was made and by whom, who put each person on it and when, every reminder a leader sent, and who ticked each step. Where Coetio never recorded who did something, it says "not recorded" instead of guessing a name. Leaders see the whole record; a member on the task sees their own part of it.
   • Steps got an editor. Add one, rename it, move it up or down, or put a smaller step underneath another. Sub-steps number themselves 1a, 1b, 1c.
   • Tasks are filed under the meeting they came from. Each meeting is one row you open, in that meeting's own running order, and the closed row says how many tasks are handed out, how many the room covered, and how many are overdue. Work that didn't come out of a meeting sits under "Everything else".
   • The tasks page got a search box and filters: status, deadline, committee, or one person, plus sort by due date, newest, or title. Every choice is in the web address, so you can send another officer a link to exactly the list you're looking at. Rows are one line now instead of eight stacked blocks.
   • A Calendar tab. Every event, task deadline, scheduled post and closing vote for your club on one page, as a month grid or a day-by-day agenda. It opens with what's happening now, what's next, and what's late. In the month view, a bar per week shows which week is the heavy one, and two events that run into each other get an "Overlaps" tag.
   • Members get the calendar too, narrowed to the clubs they're in and the tasks that are theirs.
   • A Leadership tab: every role in your club, who holds it, and a playbook for each one. What the job is, what they're responsible for, how to do it, who to ask, what the role is aiming at, and the notes for whoever takes it next. The playbook belongs to the role, not the person, so it's still there after they graduate.
   • You can cap how many people hold a role. One treasurer, two vice presidents. Lowering a limit never takes anyone's title away. It just stops the next one.
   • Titles are handed out on the Leadership tab now, not on a roster row, and the seat limit is enforced there.
   • Every committee has its own page: who's on it, its chair, its tasks, its own events, and turnout at club meetings counted from the day each person joined, so someone who joined in March isn't marked absent for February.
   • Events have three place boxes instead of one: the name of the place, the street address, and the room. The address becomes a link that opens the map on the reader's phone. On a public event the address travels with it, onto your public page and into calendar feeds.RemovedPublic club pages and public calendar feeds were removed on August 29, 2026, so an address no longer leaves the club. The three place boxes and the map link work as described.
   • Coetio suggests places your club has already met at, built from events your club has already put on Coetio. Pick one and its address and room fill themselves in. The suggestions come from your own events, not from a map service.
   • An event can say the day is set but the time isn't. Coetio shows "Time TBD" instead of an hour nobody chose, and calendar feeds publish it as an all-day entry so nobody's phone tells them to arrive at the wrong time.
   • Meeting mode shows one Agenda. It used to be three lists: the agenda, the event's to-dos, and a run-of-show checklist. Now it's one list in the order a meeting actually runs. Setup, then the doors opening, then the meeting, then the follow-up. Setup you've already finished folds into a count instead of pushing the agenda off the screen.
   • An agenda line is a task. Give it to someone during the meeting and it lands on their dashboard as ordinary work. Rename that task later and every agenda it appears on renames with it. "Start the agenda" now makes the minutes and stays on the screen, instead of sending whoever is running the room somewhere else while the projector is on. New minutes are named after their meeting and always belong to one.
   • Picking who's on an event to-do is a search box and a list you tick. Tick a committee to tick everyone on it. On a shared item the committee stays linked, so it follows as people join and leave.
   • Owners can look at the app the way one of their members sees it. Nothing can be written while you're looking, so a preview never leaves a check-in or an RSVP in someone else's name.
   • Saving a card in Settings puts you back on that card instead of the top of the page.

   v1.10 · beta

   Meeting mode, post audiences, and your club's own clock

   • Meeting mode: one screen for a meeting that's happening right now. The check-in QR sits next to a live head count, and you tick off the agenda, see the event's to-dos, and open the minutes without leaving the page.
   • A projector view puts the QR code, the head count, and the agenda on the room's TV in type people can read from the back.
   • Ask the room a question mid-meeting. You start a poll from the live screen, members vote on their phones, and the tally fills in as they answer.
   • "End meeting" wraps everything up in one tap: what you covered becomes a recap on the meeting's minutes, and the after-meeting tools open right there.
   • Give an agenda item a time limit and whoever is running the room gets a countdown for it.
   • A random picker draws a name from everyone checked in, for when nobody volunteers to present.
   • Members can rate the meeting 1 to 5 with one tap before they leave.
   • While a meeting is running, a bar across the top of Coetio takes you straight to it. The Check-in tab is now called Meeting.
   • Announcements can be aimed at a specific audience: the whole club, one or more committees, or individual people.
   • The Post and Create buttons now have a "⋯" beside them holding scheduling and the options you rarely touch, so the forms stay short.
   • Clubs can set their own time zone in Settings. Check-in codes and reminders now follow your club's clock, so clubs outside the US East Coast get the right day and scanning in during an evening meeting works.
   • A phone number is now optional when you join a club.
   • Copy minutes straight into a Google Doc. The headings, bullets, and bold text survive the paste.
   • A new "For schools & advisors" page explains what Coetio gives a school. At the time this shipped that was club continuity year to year plus a school-wide view of club activity.RemovedThe school-wide view was removed on August 24, 2026. That page now says the opposite, and the opposite is what is true: there is no school-wide console, and no staff login reaches a club's member records.
   • Committees can be color-coded. Give each one a color and its dot shows up beside its tasks, so you can tell at a glance which group owns what.
   • Coetio has a real logo now. The clover and its teal run everywhere: the browser tab, the icon when you add Coetio to your phone, and the preview card people see when you share a link.

   v1.9 · beta

   A cleaner Coetio, a guided tour, and Spanish

   • The whole app got a redesign: one clean typeface, straighter lists, calmer colors, and pages that show your stuff first. Create forms now sit behind a "+ New" button instead of filling the top of every page.
   • Coetio ahora habla español. Switch the language from your profile or the bottom of any public club page; members and parents get their pages in Spanish.
   • New officers get a guided tour. When your club's owner gives you a title, a short walkthrough shows you exactly what your role can do and where everything lives. Your club's owner can also write what each title is responsible for, in their own words.
   • Custom titles now come in two levels: ones that can manage things and read-only ones, so a parent volunteer or faculty sponsor can watch without changing anything.
   • Club owners can decide exactly what officers, advisors, and members can do, per club, from Settings.
   • Tasks can be written now and handed out later, tied to a specific event, and broken into steps people check off.
   • Your dashboard sections can be reordered to put what you care about on top, and today's essentials save to your phone so they open even with no signal.RemovedReordering went in September 2026, when the dashboard was rebuilt as a single column. Saving today's essentials for offline still works.
   • School staff can verify their school. At the time this shipped, verified staff also saw a school-wide view of club activity: names and counts only, never rosters.RemovedThe school-wide view was removed on August 24, 2026. Verifying a school adds a badge and nothing else. No staff login reaches a club's member records.
   • Faster everywhere: pages load in one round of queries instead of ten, and every page shows a skeleton instead of a blank stare.

   v1.8 · alpha

   Community clubs, guest follows, and launch prep

   • Clubs no longer need a school. You can now run a community club, like a neighborhood volunteer group or a rec team.
   • Follow a public club without joining it. Guests who follow a club see its public events and announcements, which is handy for parents and curious students.RemovedFollowing was removed on August 29, 2026, with the public pages it read from. Anyone already following a club can still unfollow.
   • One account can now own up to 5 clubs.
   • Notifications are now clickable. Each one takes you straight to the thing it's about. You can also mute a single club's notifications, and leaders can mark an announcement as priority so it gets through anyway.
   • A new past-meetings section on the meetings page. If you were marked absent by mistake, you can request a correction and a leader approves or declines it.
   • Clubs can add social links (Instagram, Discord, and friends) to their public page.RemovedRemoved on August 29, 2026, with the public club page.
   • Deleting your account or your club is now harder to do by accident: you type a confirmation first, and you can download a copy of your data before anything goes away.
   • Fixed: uploads that silently failed now work, and files over the size limit tell you so instead of just spinning.
   • Fixed: Find Clubs groups schools correctly, so one school's clubs no longer split into separate lists over spelling differences.RemovedFind Clubs was removed on August 24, 2026. Coetio has no club directory now.
   • Fixed: dismissing a card on your dashboard now sticks the way you'd expect.
   • Every public club page now carries a short note making clear that clubs are run by their own members and that Coetio is not affiliated with them.

   Teal, checklists, and meeting agendas

   • New look: the green accent is now teal, everywhere the old green used to be.
   • Events can carry a real planning checklist, with before, during, and after sections, items assigned to specific people with due dates and reminders. You can save a checklist as a template so next year's bake sale starts half-planned.
   • Give an event a budget and log what it actually cost; those entries show up on the money page too.
   • Print a ready-made poster for any event, with big date and time, location, and your club's join QR.
   • If you schedule an event on top of another one, you'll get a warning before you save.
   • Meetings: build an agenda ahead of time, check items off as you go, and turn the result into minutes without retyping anything.
   • Owners can set an attendance bar for good standing, and members who fall below it are flagged on the roster.
   • Pair a new member with a buddy who helps them settle in.
   • Printable attendance certificates for members who showed up.
   • Every button in the app was pressed, and the ones that could fail silently were fixed. A failure now says why.

   Feed that clears itself, and leader visibility

   • Things you've already handled, like RSVP'd, claimed a slot, finished a task, or acknowledged a post, grey out and drop below what still needs you. Announcements get a "Got it" button.
   • Event cards are color-coordinated to their club: the calendar date and category tag now match the club's color (Student Council in magenta, etc.), and every card shows which club it's from.
   • Leaders can see who hasn't responded to an event and who hasn't signed up for a sheet: the flip side of the who's-going and claimed lists.
   • When you change an event's room or time, you can post an announcement about the change in one click.

    v1.5 · alpha

    A smarter dashboard feed

    • Every card on your dashboard now shows which club it's from, how long ago it was posted, and a deadline when there is one.
    • Overdue tasks, events starting soon, and leader-flagged important announcements get an urgent highlight so they're impossible to miss.
    • A colored bar across the top of each card matches that club's color.
    • New: a "Mark all as read" button, a dot on anything new since you last checked, dismiss and snooze on individual cards, and a "group by club" view for anyone in more than one club.
    • Leaders can flag an announcement as important, and it sorts to the top of members' feeds with a red highlight.

11. July 2026

    v1.4 · alpha

    A whole new toolkit

    • Announcements got a real publishing workflow: drafts, a scheduled-posts hub, saved templates, a live preview, headings/bullets/italics, an optional PDF attachment, and pins that can expire on their own.
    • Tag people in a post with @name, or link straight to an event or sign-up sheet with #title. Mentioned members get a notification.
    • Leaders can see exactly who's viewed an announcement (names, not just a count) and approve member replies before they're visible.
    • A club health card for owners: attendance trend, member growth, and who's gone quiet.
    • Involvement records: a printable, verifiable summary of a member's attendance, events, tasks, and approved volunteer hours, the thing you hand a college application.
    • Volunteer hour logging and approval, service-hours totals, and a points & leaderboard option owners can turn on.
    • Recurring events are now real series: edit or cancel "this and future" occurrences in one move, plus biweekly and monthly repeats.
    • Permission slips (acknowledge before attending), post-event ratings, and one-tap Going/Can't RSVP right from the notification.
    • Attendance grew a kiosk "tap your name" option with a PIN (no phone needed), bulk check-in, a check-in question of the day, and offline check-in that syncs once you're back online.
    • Email invites that pre-approve someone the moment they join, paste-a-roster with a preview before you commit, and a 7-day grace period when you regenerate your join code.
    • New for members: an opt-in directory, a suggestion box that's truly anonymous, a club anniversary card, and a handoff journal leaders can leave for whoever comes next.
    • New public pages: a hallway TV display for a club, a per-school page listing every club there, category filters on Find Clubs, and event photo albums.RemovedThe per-school page and Find Clubs were removed on August 24, 2026, and the hallway TV display on August 29. Event photo albums stayed, and they are members-only like everything else.
    • Search everything with ⌘K, plus a quick-add button for a new event, announcement, or task from anywhere.
    • A weekly "this week in your clubs" reminder, and a new-club review queue for the site admin.

    • Tasks can now be a drag-and-drop board: To do, In progress, Done.
    • Attendance heatmap for leaders, a live check-in counter for kiosk screens, and streak celebrations when you scan in.
    • Roster card view with avatars, grade breakdowns, and custom fields your club defines.
    • Money page shows your balance up front with a monthly income/spending chart.
    • Clubs are customizable: turn features on or off, pick what your public page shows, add your own event categories, write a welcome message for new members, and even change your club's web address.RemovedChoosing what a public page shows was removed on August 29, 2026, because there is nothing left on one to choose. The rest of this line still works.
    • Your club's color now styles its public page.RemovedPublic club pages were removed on August 29, 2026. A club's color still runs through the app its members use.
    • Sign-up sheets show how full they are; notifications are grouped by day; announcements support bold text and links, and deleting one gives you an Undo.
    • Dozens of fixes behind the scenes, including stronger sign-in protections and a trash that truly empties after 30 days.
