Guest list triage
Your guest list, sorted before you open the spreadsheet.
HeyJEIN turns a messy pile of contacts and RSVPs into one clean, triaged list — built for people who run real events, not just track them.
The name
jein /jaɪn/
German. A portmanteau of ja (yes) and nein (no) — what people actually say when the honest answer is "maybe," "depends," or "ask me again next week." Most tools force a yes or a no before you're ready to give one. HeyJEIN makes "maybe" a real, trackable status — not a stalled decision cluttering your list.
The problem
Building a list is never actually one task.
How it works
Three steps, in order — the same order every time.
Bring your people
Import contacts from wherever they already live — email, spreadsheets, past event lists. No manual re-entry.
Triage, don't just tag
Every contact gets an honest, fast status — Yes, No, Task if it needs a real decision, or Maybe if that's the truth for now.
Ship a real list
Export a finished, de-duplicated list — ready for invites, name badges, or your own outreach.
RSVP tracking, coming next
We're building RSVP right into the same list, so responses update it live — instead of living in a separate inbox or spreadsheet. No more cross-referencing two systems to know where you actually stand.
Why HeyJEIN
Built by people who couldn't find a tool that treated list-building as the real work it is — not an afterthought before the "real" event software kicks in. No ad model, no selling your contact data. You own your list.
