Discover. Decide. Go.
Great local events are scattered everywhere. Whim brings them together, learns what you like, and gives you a personalized list of things worth doing. Pick one and go.
Whim is growing deliberately. It's free to use, and there are no ads.
Why Whim
Finding options is only half the problem. Choosing one is the other.
Local activity lives in a dozen disconnected places: ticketing platforms, venue pages, community and civic calendars, university listings, neighborhood organizations. Whim pulls them together and keeps them current, including the free and recurring things that never show up when you search "things to do."
Most of the time you don't know what to search for. You know you want out of the house, or it's date night, or the kids are bored, or you're somewhere new with one free evening. Whim takes where you are, when you're free and what you like, and leads with the things that fit - and it gets sharper every time you swipe.
The difference
Most event apps give you more to browse. Whim helps you pick something and go.
How it works
Free Friday night? Visiting somewhere new?
Open Whim and see what's worth doing nearby.
Whim builds a deck of real events near you from where you are, what you like and when you're free. No searching through a dozen sites, no twelve open tabs.
Each card is one real event with enough to decide on - what it is, where, when, what it costs and why it fits you. Save the ones that sound good.
Directions, tickets, or straight onto your calendar. Take a minute or take your time - either way you end up somewhere.
The app
Swipe a deck, save what sounds good, see what's coming up.
What Whim won't do
What shows up first depends on what fits you, not on who paid for placement. Good recommendations only work if you can trust them.
Events rank on how well they fit you. Not on who sells the tickets, not on who bought placement. A free concert in a park can beat an arena show.
Your cards are recommendations, full stop. If we ever show something sponsored it will be labeled and it will sit outside your recommendations.
What you swipe helps personalize Whim. We don't sell personal profiles or share your individual activity for advertising. Delete your account and we remove the personal data tied to it.
No streaks, no infinite scroll, no notifications engineered to pull you back. Whim works when you close it and go somewhere.
Questions
Yes. Whim is free to use.
You can look around as a guest. Sign in when you want to save events, keep your recommendations across devices, or put things on your calendar.
A wide mix of sources: ticketing platforms, venues, community and civic calendars, local organizers and publishers. Every event links back to where we found it, so you can always check the original before you go.
Not yet. Coverage varies by city, and we're adding more local sources all the time - especially the small ones the big platforms skip.
Search works when you already know what you want. Whim works when you don't - when all you know is that you'd like to do something tonight, or that you've got a free afternoon in a city you don't know.
Join the list for occasional updates and a monthly look at local events: what's happening, what's easy to miss, and what we're learning along the way.
