Upcoming public events from every organization, ranked by what you want to do.
How it works
One event, start to record.
What SycaMore Live does today, in the order it happens.
For coordinators
Before, during and after the event.
Before · Set up
Four boxes, then a practice run.
Set-up takes about a minute, then a practice event and a 7-minute course teach the rest by doing.
- Paste a message, link or calendar invite: the event form fills itself.
- Anything uncertain is marked amber. Nothing saves until you press Create.
- Every event gets a public page with a map and add-to-calendar.
During · Event day
One QR code on a screen. A roster that fills itself.
Show the code full-screen or print the sign. Volunteers scan with their own phones, and the roster updates as they arrive.
- Check-in opens 2 hours before the start and closes 2 hours after the end.
- No phone? Add them by name.
- Optional and off by default: a leave-the-area check. No coordinates are stored.
During · Walk-ins
New here? The same QR card signs them up.
Flip the QR card from Check in to New here. Scanning it signs a walk-in up and checks them in, in one step. They show on the roster as “Signed up at the door”.
- Walk-ins agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy as they sign up. Under 13 is refused, and nothing is stored.
- Make a new link and every old photo or print of it stops working.
After · Paper sheets
Still have a paper sheet? Photograph it.
Claude drafts one row per person and marks unsure rows amber. Nothing is saved until you confirm each row.
- A blank check-out stays blank; it’s never invented.
- Text on the sheet is treated as data, never as instructions.
After · Verify
Close the event and verify in about two minutes.
Hours arrive pre-filled from the scans. One tap fills in anyone who didn’t scan out, and the reason is printed on their record.
- Any changed hour needs a reason.
- Shifts over 8 hours and duplicate names are flagged.
- Once verified, the rows are read-only.
After · Letters and reports
Hour letters without the signing session.
A printable letter per volunteer with the fields schools ask for, and a funder report with the totals, as a PDF or CSV.
For volunteers
Scan in, serve, scan out, share.
At the event
Your phone is the sign-in sheet.
Scan the code at the table. First time? Join in one step and you land straight back on the check-in.
- No app to install: it’s a web page.
- Joining asks you to agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy. Ages 13 to 17 also confirm a parent or guardian knows.
- You never type your hours.
After the event
Confirmed hours, and a link anyone can check.
Until the organization verifies, an event shows as waiting, with no number. Then it becomes a record you can share or print.
- Each organization you serve with is a folder of your records.
- Under 18? Sharing needs a guardian’s OK first.
- AI can draft a resume line from the record’s facts. You edit it.
Badges
The system finds who meets a rule; a coordinator signs each badge. No skill claims.
Messages
Messages from organizations and event chats in one inbox. Announcements only if you opt in. Under 18 gets announcements only.
Your account
Light or dark theme, a download of your data, and deleting your account, all in Account.

Set-up takes about a minute, then a practice event teaches the rest. Volunteers never pay.
