Why Moimio exists
Moimio came out of the real experience of organising retreats with spreadsheets, lists, and endless WhatsApp messages. As registrations and cancellations kept changing even after the deadline, room and group allocations had to be redone again and again. The result was a tool built for events that had become difficult to manage with spreadsheets, but were still too small for traditional event-management software.
Moimio brings registration, allocation, and check-in into one place. It can be self-hosted or used directly through us, with the same feature set either way.
How Moimio was built
Moimio was built by one person with firsthand experience organising retreats and conferences. The architecture, product decisions, and every feature come from someone who knows the operational reality behind these events.
AI assistance was used during implementation. Code was written, reviewed and revised with the help of large language models. The direction of development and the decision about what gets included always remained with a human. Functions were tested, revised and discarded until they worked reliably.
The full source code is openly accessible on GitHub. Anyone who wants to know how Moimio works can read it.
How Moimio evolves
Moimio grows where there's a real need. New features get added when organisers actually need them, not because a product plan calls for them. The same goes for how it is priced: it changes if real use shows it should, not on a schedule.
There's no investor behind Moimio, and no growth team. That has upsides and downsides. It means the software is developed without pressure for rapid growth. It also means changes happen carefully, not driven by quarterly numbers.
About the name
The name comes from Korean (모임이오). It literally means: "It is a gathering!"
A short phrase for the moment when people come together. That's exactly the kind of moment Moimio is built for.
