Open and get started
- Extract the ZIP and open Seatfold.html in a supported browser.
- Add guests individually or paste a list with one person per line. Enter replies, groups and meal choices, then name your tables and set their capacities.
- Select confirmed guests or a group and assign a table. If the selected group does not fit, nothing moves. Review the plan and choose a report to print or download.
Keep a backup
Information is kept in your own browser unless you export it. Clearing browser data or moving the app file may hide saved events. Keep JSON backups.
JSON backups preserve all entered details. CSV and HTML reports are not editable workspace backups; CSV is not an import format.
Table charts and guest directories exclude private notes and meal choices. Dietary/care notes appear in catering reports and CSV only when selected. Backups and reports are not encrypted; check them before sharing.
Browsers and devices
Chrome desktop was used for documented browser testing. Edge, Firefox and Safari were not separately tested for this release. Android needs a browser/file-manager combination permitting local HTML, JavaScript and downloads. Local editing on iPhone/iPad is not recommended. Physical mobile devices were not tested.
These are downloadable HTML browser apps, not App Store or Google Play apps. A responsive layout does not guarantee that a phone’s file viewer can run the editor. Use a browser that permits local HTML, JavaScript, storage and downloads.
If the file opens as a blank preview
Extract the ZIP first, then open the HTML app with a browser that permits interactive local HTML. A document preview may show a page without running the editor. Try a desktop browser if your phone viewer cannot run it.
If saved work is missing
Check that you are opening the same app file in the same browser. Keep any remaining exported files and backups. Use the product’s JSON restore option according to the guidance above; a printed report is not an editable backup.
What this tool does not do
Assigns guests to tables. It does not design room floor plans, number individual chairs, decide who should sit together, send invitations or collect online RSVPs. Update replies yourself.
