The record

Purpose: Synodo is software for churches to run small groups, including community groups, life groups, mentoring pairs, and short courses.
Leader guides: Each meeting can have a leaders-only guide with preparation, a run of show, and discussion prompts, separate from what members see.
Study library: Churches can create a study once, copy it into groups, and resync later improvements without overwriting group customizations.
Group communication: Messages, prayer requests, photos, polls, and announcements sit alongside the group study.
Participation tracking: Attendance, homework, and message activity appear together week by week, and leaders can contact people by phone, text, or email.
Intake and matching: For churches that use group intake, Synodo supports nominations, approvals, leader applications, co-leader pairing, member matching, availability polls, and scheduling.
Planning Center integration: Synodo can import groups from Planning Center Groups or send Synodo groups there, with the church choosing which groups to transfer.
Phone access: Synodo installs to the home screen on iPhone and Android and sends push notifications.
Security and privacy: The page says each church's data is isolated, passwords are hashed, traffic is encrypted, and uploaded files are restricted to the owning church.
Data use: Synodo says church content is never sold or used to train AI models.
Data export and deletion: Churches can export data or cancel at any time, and the page says administrators can download the church's data and permanently delete a person or the whole church from Settings.
Trial: Every church can start a 30-day free trial without a credit card.
Price from: $49/mo
