In short
Gumb is an app for churches and their groups: parishes, worship teams and choirs, Bible study and home groups, church youth groups with altar servers, and church charities. Services, rehearsals and meetings sit in the calendar as events, roles become tasks on the event, and every group plans in its own group scheduler. Admins also answer for people without a smartphone, and members never pay.

I manage my Jungwacht youth group with this app. It works excellently. Everything clearly in one place! Even the CEO (Dominik) personally takes time to talk to you and asks for suggestions for improvement
Great app, works even for very large clubs. Highly recommended.
We tried out various apps in our club and Gumb covers our needs best! If you have questions, support helps right away. The app is constantly being improved and new, very useful features keep being added.

FAQ: the app for church and community
Which church groups is Gumb suited for?
For parishes and congregations, worship teams and choirs, Bible study and home groups, youth groups and altar servers, and church charities. Each of these groups has its own page with examples.
Can a church's groups plan separately?
Yes. Every group gets its own group scheduler, and group events are only visible to its members. Church events for everyone sit in the shared calendar. The Pro plan includes up to 20 group schedulers.
How do I fill roles for the service?
Create roles such as reading, music, tech or altar servers as tasks on the service. Members sign up themselves, or admins assign them.
What about members without a smartphone?
Admins can answer on behalf of members. Gumb also runs as a web app in the browser.
Who sees members' personal data?
Every member chooses in their settings which admins may see their profile.
Do church members pay anything?
No. Members never pay. The church or group pays for the subscription.
Which app is suited for a parish or church community?
Gumb suits parishes and church communities that plan services, rehearsals and meetings as events. You hand out duties such as reader, music or coffee after the service as tasks on the event, and every group plans in its own group scheduler.
Is there a free church app for groups and volunteers?
You try Gumb free for 2 months, with every feature, no credit card and no automatic renewal. After that the Pro plan costs 149 Swiss francs a year for up to 100 members. Members never pay.
How do I inform everyone about a change to the service schedule?
You change the event, and Gumb asks whether to send notifications. Push notification and email reach everyone affected, even when the app is closed.
How do I remind volunteers of their duty?
You send reminders on the event, up to two per event. You see at a glance who has not answered yet.
Is Gumb compliant with data protection law?
Gumb complies with GDPR and the Swiss FADP. Every person decides in their settings which admins may view their profile, and group events are visible only to the group.
