RallyText is a plain-text SMS platform designed for instant, reliable communication to entire rosters. It was created after a youth mountain bike coach faced the impossible task of getting kids to safety during a lightning strike while simultaneously needing to alert 40 families. The tool ensures one message reaches every phone without relying on group chats or app downloads. Key features include broadcast SMS that delivers messages as standard texts, a shared inbox where replies don't blast the whole team but instead appear in a dashboard with colored role badges, and natural language attendance detection that logs absences when members text phrases like "running late" or "won't be there." The system also supports PDF and image attachments, tracked map links for practice locations or waivers, auto-reminders, and CSV import for quick roster setup. RallyText works by sending fully A2P 10DLC compliant messages that carriers allow through, ensuring delivery. Replies are organized in a web dashboard with role-tagged identifiers so leadership can see who they're communicating with. When coaches or admins reply, their name and title are prepended to the message for clear attribution. The platform auto-wraps shortlinks to track clicks and confirms absences via text back to the member. The product is free to start and supports organizations such as sports teams, businesses, clubs, troupes, churches, and classrooms. Users can swap labels at signup to adapt the system for different organizational structures, turning "Coach/Athlete" into "Manager/Employee" or "Director/Cast." A 50-person team can be set up in under five minutes using CSV import for rosters, groups, and calendars.
