About

Weekend Wingman

Read full description

Weekend Wingman helps turn a loose idea into a real plan. Tell the app where you are planning, who is coming, what kind of day you want, and any constraints like budget, distance, weather, kids, crowds, or food. Weekend Wingman searches nearby places and live events, then builds a practical plan with activities, food stops, backups, and easy actions. Use it for date nights, family afternoons, rainy days, cheap nights out, scenic walks, live events, and last-minute ideas when nobody wants to make the decision. Current highlights: - AI-assisted plans built from your prompt and preferences. - Google Places and Ticketmaster-backed ideas. - Nearby Ideas and Explore Nearby for larger discovery lists. - Detail cards with images, location, price when available, event time, maps, share, save, and ticket actions. - Saved Plans for ideas you want to keep. - Optional current-location planning, with a planning city you can change anytime. - Google, Facebook, and Apple sign-in for account/profile features. Weekend Wingman is free-first for v1. No hard paywall, no generic banner ads, and no required login before the first useful plan.
