About Whim

We started Whim to get our city off the feed.

We're a small, independent team in Metro Vancouver who got tired of watching the best of the city disappear under an endless scroll — so we set out to build the antidote.

There's always something good happening in Metro Vancouver — a watch party two blocks over, a new patio, a pickup game down the street. Too often it disappears under a feed designed to keep you watching instead of living. That gap is the whole reason Whim exists.

So we're building the opposite of the feed: a guide that points you at something real worth doing, and an app that makes going and doing it with friends take seconds. No infinite scroll, no algorithm deciding for you — just the good stuff, and an easy way to show up for it. The less time you spend in our app, the better we're doing our job.

Whim is built and run by a small, independent team right here in Metro Vancouver. We're local, we're picky about what makes the cut, and we're building the city guide we always wished we had.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is Whim?
Whim is a Vancouver-built guide and app for real-life plans. Find the best places and events across Metro Vancouver, then plan a night out with friends in seconds.
Is Whim free?
Yes. Browsing the guide is free, and the app is free to download and use.
Where is Whim available?
We're focused on Metro Vancouver — every corner, from Downtown to Surrey to the North Shore — with more cities to come.
How do you decide what gets listed?
Everything is curated and verified against primary sources — official sites, venue data, and public listings. Vibes and recommendations reflect our editorial perspective, and we never take payment for placement.
How is this different from Google or Instagram?
Instead of endless reviews or an infinite feed, Whim is curated for intent — by vibe, by area, and by what's on right now — and built to get you out the door, not scrolling.
Do I need the app to use the guide?
No. The full guide lives on the web. The app adds the planning layer — inviting friends, settling a time, and going together.
I spotted a mistake, or know a place you're missing.
Please tell us. On our event pages there's a quick correction and "suggest an event" form, and you can always reach us at hello@letswhim.com.
Is my data private?
We keep analytics minimal and anonymous, honour Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control, and never sell your personal data. See our Privacy Policy for the details.
Who's behind Whim?
A small team of Vancouverites who got tired of group chats that never turn into actual plans.
