One link. Everyone adds themselves.
Group contact list
everyone opts into
Somebody always ends up asking “does anyone have her number?” The usual fix is a shared spreadsheet that anyone with the link can read, download, or forward. Pip flips it: you share one link and an access code, each person adds their own details and decides what to share, and nobody sees the list until you approve them.
Three steps, about a minute
Name the list and set an access code
Call it whatever the group calls itself, then set a short access code. The link alone shows nothing, so a forwarded message is useless to outsiders.
Everyone adds themselves
A name, who they're here for, and a phone number or email — each with its own share checkbox. No accounts and no app for members.
You approve who joins
New entries stay pending and reveal nothing about the group. Approve the people you recognize and they get access.
Groups that run on a contact list
If people need to reach each other without a group chat, a list works.
Kids and school
- Class parents
- Sports teams and dance groups
- Carpool crews
- Scout troops
- Summer camp cabins
Neighbors and community
- Street or building neighbors
- Book clubs and supper clubs
- Volunteer crews
- Church and temple groups
- Snow-day and storm chains
Keep it clean
- Approve only people you recognize
- Never paste it into another list
- Remove someone the moment they ask
- Start fresh when the group changes
Why it beats a shared spreadsheet
Without the code you send the group, the page shows nothing at all.
A pending entry can't see the list — not even how many people are on it.
Each person chooses whether to share a phone number, an email, or just a name.
Approved members and you. Pip never sells personal information.
Open the link, enter the code, add your details. That's the whole thing.
Remove one entry or close the list whenever the group is done.
Questions
Is a contact list free?
Yes. Creating a list, collecting opt-ins, and approving members are all free — no Pip Plus needed.
Do members need an account?
No. They open the link, enter the access code, and add themselves. Only the organizer needs a free Pip account.
What if the link gets forwarded?
Someone without the access code sees only the list name and a code prompt. Even with the code, a new entry stays pending until you approve it.
Can someone edit or delete their details later?
Any time, from the same link. You can also remove an entry on request immediately.
