A dedicated app for your village
Residents read news, the calendar and the noticeboard, and chat with each other in the residents' app on their phone. You manage members, posts and reports from a single web environment.
How Dorpsapp works
Dorpsapp is the admin environment behind your village, neighbourhood or
district’s residents’ app. Residents use the mobile app; you manage content,
members and settings from the browser.
- Set up your community. Create your community, choose which features
are switched on, and generate invitation codes that residents use to
register in the residents’ app.
- Publish and moderate. Move news and calendar items from draft to
published — with AI help while writing — and send a push notification
along with them. You handle reported noticeboard posts in the moderation
queue.
- Keep an overview. Track storage and administrator limits in the usage
dashboard, answer bug reports and user questions, and write help articles
that residents can read in the app.
Who it’s for
- Villages and village interest associations that want to offer news,
a calendar and a noticeboard to residents in one place.
- Neighbourhood associations that want members to chat and post messages
to each other, with moderation close at hand.
- Municipalities and umbrella organisations that serve several
neighbourhoods or villages from a single environment, each with its own
members and administrators.
Management behind the scenes
Besides content and members, Dorpsapp provides the tools to keep the app
itself running: a maintenance mode with a notice in the residents’ app,
version management for the mobile app, and monitoring of login attempts and
API use per member or IP address. Requests for account or data deletion
come in through a public page and you handle them in the admin environment.
What it does
-
Noticeboard with moderation
Residents post messages on the noticeboard; reported posts land in a moderation queue. You publish, archive or step in.
-
News and calendar
News and calendar items follow a fixed workflow from draft to published. AI helps with writing, improving and summarising text.
-
Chat groups
Group chats and direct messages between residents, in real time. As an administrator, you see every chat room and its members in the web environment.
-
Push notifications
Send a push notification with a news or calendar item, or to an individual member. Every send shows a delivery log.
-
Member management
Approve new members, activate accounts with an email validation code, block in case of abuse, and organise members into groups.
-
GDPR provisions
Public pages for account and data deletion, a privacy statement and cookie policy per community. You handle requests in the admin environment.
-
A moderator role alongside the administrator
Assign someone the Moderator role for just the noticeboard: handling reported posts and reviewing hidden posts, without access to member management, the calendar, pushing to the whole village, or statistics.
-
Let an external system supply content — only if you want that
Want the municipality's CMS to supply draft calendar items, for example? That feature is off by default; you switch it on yourself in the Features screen. Everything arrives as a draft — nothing gets published without review.

Frequently asked questions
- Do residents need a separate app?
- Yes. Residents use the mobile residents' app (Mijn Buurt) on iOS and Android; per community, you set the links to the App Store and Play Store. Dorpsapp is the admin environment where you manage content, members and settings.
- Can one environment serve several villages or neighbourhoods?
- Yes. Dorpsapp has a multi-community mode, for example for a municipality with several neighbourhoods or villages. Each community has its own members, noticeboard, news, calendar and settings, and its own administrators.
- How do residents sign up?
- You generate invitation codes per community that residents use to register in the app; each community also has a public invitation page. You can approve new members first, and accounts are activated with an email validation code.
- Can I turn features on or off?
- Yes. Per community, you switch features such as chat, the noticeboard, news and the calendar on or off. Through the built-in feature marketplace, you can add extensions such as AI text generation, polls and surveys, a marketplace, volunteer management, or extra storage and administrator seats.
