Gather shows you what’s happening around you—events, venues, and hangouts posted by real people and real places nearby. No guesswork, no jumping between apps. Open Gather and it’s all right there. Browse by location or let the feed surface what’s worth checking out. When something catches your eye, grab a ticket or RSVP on the spot. Your ticket lives in the app with a QR code for entry—no extra steps, no email confirmations, no screenshots. Just show up and scan. Hangouts cover the smaller, everyday plans. Drinks, pickup basketball, trying a new restaurant, checking out a new spot—post one or join in. It’s an easy way to make plans without the back-and-forth. No group chat required. Put it out there, see who’s in, and go. Follow venues and friends to stay in the loop. When they post or plan something, it shows up in your feed—simple as that. If a bar you like is hosting something Friday night, you’ll see it. If a friend’s heading somewhere, you’ll know. Your feed stays focused on what matters to you. For venue owners, Gather brings everything into one place. Claim your space, build your profile, post events, sell tickets, and add team members with the right permissions to help manage it all. Reach people nearby who are already looking for something to do.
