How it works

Three taps between you and a room full of people.

Find an event, sign up, walk in.

  1. 01

    Follow your societies

    Search the full list, filter it by category, and follow the ones you're in and the ones you're curious about.

    Following isn't joining. You're not on a mailing list and you haven't paid anything. Their events just come first in your feed.

  2. 02

    See what's on

    Open the app and your week is already there: today, tomorrow and the rest, in time order, not algorithm order.

    Search it, filter it by day, society or kind of event, or open the map to see what's on around campus right now.

  3. 03

    Tap "I'm going"

    You're on the list. The society knows you're coming, and so do your friends.

    If it's full you join the waitlist. Some events take applications instead: you answer a few questions and hear back once the committee decides. Can't make it after all? Say so on the event page and your spot frees up for someone else.

  4. 04

    Find it in Your plans

    Everything you've said yes to sits under You → Your plans, by week or month, and in Google Calendar if you connect it.

    You get a nudge fifteen minutes before it starts, and a notification and an email if it moves or gets called off. If you're on the waitlist, you get the notification but not the email. You can switch any of them off.

  5. 05

    Scan in at the door

    The committee shows the event's code at the door. Scan it on the way in and you're checked in.

    The code changes every minute, so a photo of it stops working almost straight away. The society gets a real headcount instead of a guess.

Friends

Add friends in person or with a link, never by search.

There's no search, so nobody can look you up. Friends are people you've actually met, or sent a link to.

Scan their code

One of you shows a code, the other scans it, and you're friends both ways. The code changes every ten minutes, so a screenshot of it stops working.

Or send a link

Anyone you send it to is added once they tap Add. The link stops working after seven days.

You choose what they see

Friends see which events you're going to. Faith, political and cultural societies stay hidden unless you choose to show them, and you can hide any event yourself.

No app yet?

An event link works without the app.

If someone sends you an event link, the page it opens lets you sign up with your name and email. We email you a six-digit code to check it's you, and that's it: you're on the list. Some events take sign-ups in the app only, and their page says so.

  • Open the link

    Any phone, any browser. No account and no download.

  • Add your name, course and email

    Then enter the six-digit code we email you. You take a real spot, or a real place on the waitlist.

  • Change your mind any time

    The same page lets you drop out, and your spot frees up for someone else.

For committees

And if you run a society?

Committees run it from Host on the You tab: post an event once, watch the sign-ups come in, show the code at the door and get a real headcount afterwards. On a laptop, you can run it all from the dashboard at getmotive.uk/dashboard.
