Venue
Start with your favorite local cafe.
Search the map for a cafe, library or community room you’d enjoy visiting. Pick somewhere easy to find, with room for a few people and their Macs.
Community Hours
Like being social? This is for you.
Meet up with people at your local cafe, bring your Mac and show them how it works. We help with the Eventbrite listing, social media content and follow-ups to get people in the door.
Permission
Give the venue a quick call.
Lithi gives you a short script for the call. Agree the time, group size and anything you need, like Wi-Fi or power, then record their answer before you invite anyone.
Event details
Your event details become the invitation.
Set the date, time and number of places. Lithi turns them into an Eventbrite listing, and once you approve it, people have one place to read the details and book.
Poster
A poster with your own QR code.
The QR code opens your event page so people can book a place, and Lithi records that they came through you. Later, you can see which Macs joined the network thanks to your Community Hour.
Print it for the venue, hand it out or share it on social media.
Groups
Find the people around the corner.
Lithi suggests local Facebook groups where your invitation could fit. Read each group’s rules, then join the ones where you’d be welcome.
Posting
Copy. Paste. Share. Next.
The Lithi Safari Companion keeps your caption and poster beside Facebook. Pick a version, paste it in, make it yours and click Post. Then move on to the next group.
Hosting
Coffee first. A little demo next.
Bring your Mac, welcome people in and show them what Lithi does. Lithi gives you a short agenda and an opening line, so you can relax and leave plenty of time for questions.
Nearby Macs
Help people take their next step.
When someone wants to try Lithi, Nearby Macs finds Macs on the same network. Nothing is added automatically. Review each one, or send setup so its owner chooses their own settings.
Your link
Your introduction travels with your link.
Share your personal Lithi link by AirDrop, Messages or any app you like. When someone joins through it, Lithi connects their Mac to your introduction. A general website link can’t do that, so use yours.
Welcome pack
A warm welcome, even after the coffee.
Mark who came and who’d like to hear from you. Lithi prepares a short welcome pack, with getting started, working hours, privacy and help, and adds it to your To Do list to review and send.
App screens show sample people, places and figures.
