Getting Started

How do I set up the app?

PickleFamilia is the organizer's admin app. Open Settings and paste the API token your group was issued, then tap Save. Your roster and current week load automatically. The voice/AI assistant is optional — add your own Anthropic API key in Settings to enable it.

Where do players sign up?

Players don't need the app. After you publish a week, open the Share tab to get a public link (and an embed snippet for your club website). Send the link to your group — players pick their name and claim a slot right in their browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I build a week?

On the Week tab, tap +. PickleFamilia pre-fills Monday–Friday with common start times; toggle off any days you don't play and adjust dates and times. Set the number of slots per game, then create it as a draft. Publish from the Week screen or Settings when it's final — only published weeks appear on the public link.

What happens when a game fills up?

Each game has a fixed number of slots. Once they're all taken, the game locks and no one else can sign up. Sign-ups are first-come, and the last open slot can never be double-booked.

How does a player cancel their spot?

On the public page, a player chooses their name and enters their PIN to release their own slot. You can also remove anyone yourself from the Week tab.

What are PINs for?

A PIN lets a player cancel their own slot on the public page without being able to touch anyone else's. Set or reset a player's PIN any time from the Players tab.

How does voice control work?

Tap the mic in the command bar and speak, e.g. “add Nancy to Tuesday” or “set Bill's PIN to one two three four.” PickleFamilia turns your words into the right actions and asks for clarification if something is ambiguous. Typing the same commands works too. Voice/AI requires your own Anthropic API key (added in Settings); core admin works fully without it.

Why is the assistant asking me to add a key?

The natural-language assistant uses the Anthropic API with a key you supply, stored only in your device Keychain. Until you add one, the assistant is disabled — but you can still manage players, weeks, and sign-ups normally.

A player's name is missing from the sign-up list.

Only active players appear. Check the Players tab — if they're marked off, tap to reactivate them. Deactivating a player keeps their history without showing them in new weeks.

I need an organizer token, or mine stopped working.

Tokens are issued per group and can be rotated. Email us and we'll get you a fresh one.
