You have more free time
than you think.
Whimsy finds the open moments in your calendar and matches them with things happening nearby — a gallery at lunch, a pottery class after work. Book in two taps.
How many free hours do you actually have?
Three steps from “I’m free” to “I’m doing something great”
Not a feed of 300 events. Three that fit your window exactly.
Whimsy knows how long your window is, where you are and what you like. So it doesn’t offer “everything happening in town” — only what you can actually make, travel time included.
- counts travel time there and back
- learns from what you pick and what you skip
- stays quiet when there are no windows
than you think.
The ticket is bought where the plan was found.
Two taps and the event is in your calendar — address, when to leave, and a QR code for the door. No jumping to the venue’s site, no five-screen checkout.
- pay with a card you link once
- one-tap refund if plans change
- a nudge when it's time to leave
“We should hang out sometime” — finally with a date on it.
Whimsy overlaps everyone’s calendars and finds the window that works for all of you. Pick where to go and the tickets land in everyone’s phone.
- only free/busy is shared, never what's in your calendar
- everyone pays their own way — nobody owes anybody
Everywhere else answers “what’s on”. Whimsy answers “what can you make”.

Schedule your event for the hour the city is free.
Whimsy sees which hours have the most free windows around your venue — and brings you people who have literally nothing on then.

What people usually ask
We only see busy/free and the location of events — never titles, never attendees. Nothing is sold or handed to organizers: they see anonymous statistics about windows, not people.
Any one works: Google, Apple, Outlook. If you keep none, describe a typical week in a minute and Whimsy builds it for you, then sharpens it based on what you book and cancel.
The app is free. We take a small fee on tickets, like any booking service. The first thousand people on the waitlist get a whole year with no fee at all.
Contemporary art, live music, craft workshops, independent film, books and talks, food and wine, comedy, outdoors — from partner venues and the city's open listings. New York and London at launch, then wherever the waitlist points us.
Because that is the part that costs you the evening. Asking a group chat where to go, scrolling three feeds, checking whether the thing is still on and whether you can make it in time — by the time you have an answer the window has closed. Whimsy starts from the window instead: an hour and a half free on Thursday, here is what fits it, with travel counted and the ticket a tap away.
