In their own words
Courtyard
Courtyard is a private online directory for churches, schools, homeschool groups, and other member communities. It organizes people by family and gives administrators tools to manage access, oversee edits, and add other administrators with editing or settings permissions. Members can update their own entries, while the dashboard highlights recent changes, upcoming birthdays, and member locations on an interactive map. The service can produce PDF photo, directory, and monthly birthday printouts, with custom fields available for print and export. Existing directories can be imported from Excel, CSV, Word, or text files, including CSV exports from membership databases. Courtyard says subscriber imports are free; the usual target is 24 hours, with some taking up to a week. Android, iOS, and web are listed platforms; the iPhone app also supports offline directory access. Plans start at $9/month for 1–29 families, and a 30-day trial is available. There is no free plan. Every plan includes email and phone support.
