HeyGroop: a group communication app built around real life purpose, not endless feeds

Resourcifi built HeyGroop, a purpose based messaging app that replaces noisy group texts and social feeds with focused Groops, each tied to a real context, with secure one tap voice and video, media sharing, and a phone number setup that needs no passwords.

The challenge

What HeyGroop needed to solve.

Group chat lives scattered across texts, social feeds, and apps that bury the people who matter under noise. HeyGroop wanted one place where every conversation has a clear purpose, where calls and media stay private to the group, and where joining is as simple as a phone number with no password to remember.

Goals
  • Organize every conversation into a purpose based Groop
  • Make voice and video calls one tap and private
  • Let members share files and media inside the group
  • Remove passwords with phone number setup
  • Keep one clean experience across iOS and Android
The solution

Resourcifi designed and built HeyGroop as native iOS and Android apps with a Node.js and AWS backend. The app opens on a list of Groops, each one a focused space with its own members, chat, shared media, and secure calling. Setup runs on a phone number with no password, and a Groop type controls who sits in the inner or outer circle.

What we built

The HeyGroop build, screen by screen.

01 · Groops list and home

Every group in one focused list

The home screen opens on a lime header and a clean list of Groops, each row showing the latest activity so a member sees what is happening at a glance.

  • Search across every Groop
  • Latest activity per group
  • Round avatars and timestamps
  • One tap to start a new Groop

02 · Group detail and members

A Groop space with its people

Each Groop has its own header, an audio, video, and search row, a Groop type, and a full member list with names and numbers ready for a call or invite.

  • Audio, video, and search row
  • Groop type and circle
  • Add contacts or invite by link
  • Member list with numbers

03 · Group chat and media

Conversations that stay in context

Inside a Groop, messages, photos, and files sit together with lime accents and avatars, so the whole thread stays tied to the group it belongs to.

  • Threaded group messages
  • Inline photo and file sharing
  • Read state and timestamps
  • Quick attach and send

04 · Create a Groop

Spin up a space in seconds

Creating a Groop takes a name, a short purpose, and a few members, then a lime primary button puts the new space at the top of the list.

  • Name and purpose fields
  • Pick a Groop type
  • Add members from contacts
  • One tap to create

05 · Group call and video

One tap voice and video, kept private

A Groop call brings members into secure video tiles with mute, camera, and end controls, all private to the people in that Groop.

  • Member video tiles
  • Mute and camera toggles
  • Active speaker focus
  • Private to the Groop

06 · Profile and settings

Contacts, invites, and privacy

The profile screen holds the member identity, phone number, invites, and privacy controls, with no password to manage thanks to phone number setup.

  • Phone number identity
  • Invite via link controls
  • Notification settings
  • No password to manage
