About Seat Maker
Why we built it
Seating is one of the most stressful parts of hosting. We wanted a tool that felt fast, private, and delightful, so we built one. Seat Maker helps you think through your layout, try options quickly, and communicate clearly with venues and helpers.
Principles
- Speed: Interactions should feel instant. Drag, drop, and shuffle without friction.
- Clarity: The UI gets out of your way. Your event takes center stage.
- Privacy: Works offline, supports optional account sync, and keeps guest details out of advertising systems.
Craft
We sweat the details, from physics on drag to legible labels at a distance. Accessibility is built-in: Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and high-contrast themes are supported.
Who Seat Maker is for
Seat Maker is designed for people who need a focused seating plan rather than a complicated event-management system. Couples use it for wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners. Teachers create classroom pods and exam layouts. Families plan birthdays, showers, and dinner parties, while professional planners and venue teams use clear exports to coordinate setup. The same workflow works at every scale: add the real tables, organize the guest list, protect important placements, and share one current version with everyone helping.
