# Nirvaan: Install once, join any occasion by code or QR, take attendance at the door Nirvaan is the lightest of the multi-occasion apps we run on Sociana. A person installs it once, signs in with a phone or email code, sees every occasion they belong to as a card, joins new ones by code or QR and reads all their updates in one inbox. Admins mark attendance at the door by scanning a guest's QR, or by typing an email or phone when there is no QR to scan.

Install it once, sign in with a code, and every occasion you are invited to appears as a card, each with its own look. ## What it had to do Nirvaan carries occasions for several organisers, and a guest who attends more than one shouldn’t need a new app each time. The job was deliberately small: - **One install and one login** for every occasion, with no password to forget. - **Joining without paperwork.** A code or a QR on a poster, and the guest is in. - **One place for announcements**, whichever occasion sent them. - **Attendance at the door** that works even when a guest arrives without a phone or a QR. - **A distinct look per occasion**, without building a separate app. Everything else was left out of the way. The app has three tabs. ## What we built ### Sign-in without a password ![Login screen with the app logo, a single Enter Phone or Email field and a Cheers button on a purple background](https://sociana.in/screens/nirvaan/2026-10-06-15-15-12.webp) One field: phone or email, then Cheers. After the splash and a single **Enter** button, the guest types a mobile number or email and taps **Cheers**. A one-time code arrives, and **Verify & Proceed** lets them in. If the code doesn’t come, **Try Again** opens after 30 seconds, and **Go Back** fixes a mistyped number. First-timers add their name and city and, if they like, a photo. The app then remembers them until they log out. ![Enter OTP screen reading wait, we need OTP, with a Verify and Proceed button, a Go Back button, a resend timer and a green success toast](https://sociana.in/screens/nirvaan/2026-10-06-15-15-12-1.webp) The OTP step, with a resend timer and a confirmation that the code was sent. ### Explore occasions ![Explore occasions screen with Join with Code and QR buttons, a search box and occasion cards with type chips and date badges, organisation artwork blurred](https://sociana.in/screens/nirvaan/2026-10-06-15-15-13.webp) Each card shows the cover, date, type, name and venue. The first tab, **Occasions**, lists everything the person belongs to. Each card shows a cover picture, start date, name, venue and type (conference, wedding, party and so on). A search box filters the list as you type, and pulling down refreshes it. ### Join by code or by QR ![Enter code to join occasion dialog over the dimmed occasion list with a code field and a Join button](https://sociana.in/screens/nirvaan/2026-10-06-15-15-14.webp) Join with Code: type the code, tap Join. **Join with Code** takes the organiser’s code. The small QR icon beside it opens the camera, and pointing it at an occasion poster joins automatically. A code from anywhere else reads “Invalid QR Code”, so guests aren’t left guessing. ### Every occasion gets its own home screen ![Occasion screen with a blurred banner and title, a date line and an Attendance button for admins](https://sociana.in/screens/nirvaan/2026-10-06-15-15-14-1.webp) An awards evening, as its admin sees it. Tapping a card opens that occasion’s own home screen. The organiser chooses its colours and which tiles appear, so a conference and an awards night can look nothing alike inside the same app. The back arrow returns to the list. ### One inbox for every occasion ![Updates tab listing travel and safety announcements newest first, each with how long ago it was sent](https://sociana.in/screens/nirvaan/2026-10-06-15-15-15-2.webp) Updates: flight details, check-in advice and a health reminder, newest first. The **Updates** tab gathers announcements from every occasion the person has joined, newest first, each stamped with when it was sent. The same messages arrive as phone notifications. Nobody has to open each occasion in turn to find an announcement. ### Attendance at the door ![Users screen with All, Present and Absent filter buttons, scan and add-person icons and a list of attendees whose names and photos are blurred](https://sociana.in/screens/nirvaan/2026-10-06-15-15-15.webp) All, Present and Absent, with the scan and add-person icons top right. Only occasion admins (Owners and Managers) see the **Attendance** tile, and the organiser can rename it. Inside are categories, one per day, session or activity. Each category opens a guest list with **All**, **Present** and **Absent** filters. ![QR Scan camera view with a framing square, a torch button and a camera flip button](https://sociana.in/screens/nirvaan/2026-10-06-15-15-15-1.webp) The scanner, with torch and camera flip. The scan icon opens the camera. One scan of a guest’s QR marks them present and drops the admin back on the list, ready for the next person. For a guest with no QR, the add-person icon takes an email or phone number and **Add User** marks them present. The guide’s advice to admins is simply to tap Present after a scan and watch the count go up. ### Profile and the small things ![My Details profile with photo, email and QR blurred, app version, Check App Version, Delete Account and Log Out](https://sociana.in/screens/nirvaan/2026-10-06-15-15-16.webp) My Details, personal QR, version check and account controls. **Profile** holds the guest’s details and personal QR, **Help** (call or email support), **Rate Nirvaan App**, **Share Download Link** for WhatsApp, SMS or email, and a version check that prompts an update when one is out. **Delete Account** asks for a reason and completes within 12 to 48 hours, with 12 hours to change your mind. A lost connection shows a plain “You are offline!” screen, and the app carries on when the signal returns. ## How it ran Nirvaan runs as an ongoing app, not a one-off. It has carried a conference in Kolkata, an industry association’s conference and an annual awards evening with attendance by day, and its inbox has held travel notices for another occasion: flight PNRs, web check-in advice and tickets handed to flight captains. On the organiser side, members are added to an occasion in the Sociana admin panel by uploading a CSV or pasting emails and mobile numbers. The occasion’s code and QR are then shared with guests. Attendance categories are set up before the day so admins only have to scan. ## Outcomes The model works: several organisations’ occasions in one install, each with its own look, and attendance taken at the door from a phone. ## What we would do again - **Keep it small.** Three tabs and one inbox are enough for a lot of occasions. Modules can be added when an organiser asks. - **Always offer a manual path at the door.** Email or phone entry covers guests who arrive without their QR. - **One inbox, not one per event.** Guests find announcements without hunting through each occasion. - **Let each occasion look like itself.** Shared plumbing, separate colours and tiles.
