How guests find you

Search, the nearby map and the feeds that carry a published event, plus what the public and private switch actually changes.

Ritmus has no guest invitation list. There is nothing to import and no addresses to collect. An event travels as a link, and three things help it along.

People, organizations and events in one box, matched on the beginning of a name. Only published events are searchable.

The home feed

Following collects upcoming events from the organizers someone follows, their own answers, and the events those organizers are going to. Nearby is a geographic query with a clustered map that re-runs as the camera settles.

Profiles

Your own page and your organization page both list the events you are running.

The public and private switch decides how much of that applies. A private event is not hidden and not password-protected: its link works exactly the same for anyone holding it. It simply stays out of search and off the map. Unlisted, not secret.

A private event can go one step further and name the email domains it belongs to. Then the link alone is not enough: opening it means signing in with an address at one of those domains, which is what makes a company all-hands or a school event work without anyone building a guest list. People who do not qualify see that the event is private and which domain would open it, and nothing else. The choice is locked once the event is published, because who else is in the room is part of what people said yes to.

One thing it does not cover, worth knowing before you rely on it: photos and videos in the event keep their own direct links, so a file someone copies out stays reachable.

The venue screen is the exception to all of this. A TV in a room cannot sign in with anyone's work address, so it pairs instead: entering the 4-digit code from the Big Screen panel turns that browser into the screen for that one event, until the show is over. The code has always been there. What changed is that it is now checked on our side rather than in the browser, which is what lets it stand in for a work address.
