Stop texting the group chat "is it busy?" - just look at the map. Pulse is a live map of your city's nightlife. Open it and instantly see which bars, clubs, rooftops, lounges, cafes, and restaurants near you are packed, chill, or just starting to heat up - right now, tonight, from the people who are actually there. It centers on your location, or search supported cities before you travel. Every venue shows real-time, anonymous crowd ratings: how busy it is, the line and wait, how tough the door is, the cover charge, drink prices, the music and live genre, the energy, and how safe it feels. The "Right now" card surfaces real-time, crowd-sourced live reports - what it's actually like in the last hour, posted by people on the ground. It's honest because nobody's name is attached, and accurate because ratings come with minimum-sample thresholds before anything shows. See your people, not just the room. Opt in to share venue-level presence with your followers or mutuals (off by default, never coordinates) and Pulse will surface "X friends are here" on the map and the venue page. Found somewhere good? Post photos from the venue, build a profile, link your Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok, follow people with great taste, save the spots you love, and DM mutuals to coordinate the night. Don't miss the moment. Venues can show upcoming-events cards with cover, lineup, and a tap-through to the venue's own ticketing (Dice, Resy, Eventbrite). No account needed to look around - tap "Explore the demo - New York" to see how it works with sample data. When you're ready, sign in with Apple or your phone number. Pulse is for adults 18 and older. Know before you go.
