Events near you
What’s on within walking distance
Gigs, garage sales, backyard parties, club meetups. W2GO shows what is happening around you tonight, puts it on a map, and builds a plan for the days you travel.

The feed
Distance comes first
Every card says how far away it is and when it starts, before it says anything else.
-
Radius is a chip, not a settings screen
500 m, 1 km, 3 km, 10 km. Tap one and the list redraws under your thumb.
-
Free only, in one tap
The filter sits beside the radius chips, so an evening that costs nothing is two taps away.
-
A suburb works instead of your location
Skip the GPS prompt and pick a suburb by name. When you do share position, the app sends an approximate cell rather than your exact coordinates.
-
Booking stays where it belongs
A listing that comes from a venue links straight back to it. W2GO never stands between you and the door.
The map
A pin answers three questions
What kind of thing it is, when it starts, and whether it costs anything. All of that before you tap.
Zoomed outPins collapse into counts. The glyph on a label says what kind of event it is.
Closer inNames appear beside the time, so a street becomes readable without opening anything.
One tapA preview rises with the date, the venue and a way through to the full card.
Filters ride on top
Free, Today and event type sit above the map, so the pins thin out while you keep looking at the same streets.
Time on the label
A marker carries the start time rather than a generic dot, which is what you actually need when it is already evening.
Home addresses stay approximate
A party in someone’s backyard shows as a point in the area. The street number appears once you are going.
Trip planner
The day laid out as a time axis
Name the suburbs and the dates. Each day turns into a clock you can read at a glance.
-
Days carry their counts
Thursday 3, Friday 7, Saturday 11. You can tell which day is worth staying for before you open it.
-
Clashes get named
Add events with the plus. The strip underneath counts what you picked, adds up the hours, and flags where two of them overlap.
-
The same day, as a map
Switch to Map when geography decides the plan instead of the clock. Pins keep their times and mark what is already in the plan.
-
It leaves as an .ics file
Add to calendar writes one file with every event you picked and hands it to whichever calendar you already use.
Hosting
Put on your own thing in three steps
What it is, when and where it happens, and how people get through the door.
-
Open door
No list and no tickets, the way a garage sale works. People read the card and turn up.
-
Free, but RSVP
The guest gets a QR code. You get the guest list and a scanner for the door, which matters once the kitchen has a limit.
-
Your address stays hidden
It appears once somebody is going. Until then the map shows an approximate point in your area.
-
Sign in with an email code
A six digit code arrives, and there is no password to remember. An account is needed only to go somewhere or to host.
