The problem

You find out after it's over.

Most societies only announce events on Instagram. If you weren't scrolling at the right moment, or you're not in the right group chat, you hear about it on Monday from someone who went.

  • Stories vanish. Posts get buried.

    A story is gone in 24 hours. A post sinks under everything else, if the algorithm shows it to you at all.

  • Events are scattered everywhere

    Dozens of accounts, group chats you're not in, and a poster on a corridor you never walk down.

  • Every sign-up is another form

    Dig out your latest CV, then type your name, email and student number again. For every event.

  • You go alone or not at all

    There's no way to tell if anyone you know is going, so you don't risk it.

The fix

Every society's events in one feed, sorted by when they happen.

Everything on at your uni lands in one place, in time order, not ranked by an algorithm. Follow the societies you care about and theirs come first. Then see it as a list, a calendar or a map.

List

Everything by day, in the order it's happening.

Calendar

The week ahead, laid out by the hour.

Map

Events around campus, with the ones on now first.

What you get

One app that does the whole job.

See how it works

  • One feed, every society

    Every event from every society, in the order it's happening. The ones you follow come first. Nothing buried, nothing gone after a day.

  • Sign up in two taps

    No Google Form. No email chain. No spreadsheet.

  • See which friends are going

    Know who's going before you decide. Add friends by scanning their code or sending them a link.

  • Waitlists that move

    Full? Join the waitlist and you're moved up the moment someone drops out. We'll tell you when.

  • See what's on

    Scroll it, see the week laid out by the hour, or find what's on around campus right now.

  • All your plans in one place

    Everything you've said yes to, by day, week or month.

  • Check in at the door

    Scan the event's code on the way in. No printed list, no queue to find your name.

  • Sign up without filling in forms

    You enter your details once, so there's no form to fill in when you sign up. If an event asks for a CV, reuse the one you sent last time instead of digging through your files.

Societies

Every society at your uni is already on Motive. Follow yours.

Big societies with a budget and small ones that meet on a Thursday get the same page, the same sign-ups and the same check-in. Follow a society and whatever it puts on comes first in your feed.

Questions

The things people ask first.

Where do I get it?

On the App Store, for free: get Motive here. You sign in with your uni email, and there's no password to remember.

Does it cost anything?

No. It's free for students and free for societies. There's no paid tier, and no plan to charge societies to be listed.

Do I need my society to be on it?

No. Your uni's societies are already listed, so you can follow yours today. Their events show up once the committee starts posting, so if they haven't yet, send them this.

Does this replace our group chat?

No, and it isn't trying to. It replaces events that only exist as a story and then vanish. Your group chat keeps doing what it's good at.

Who can see that I'm going?

The society running the event sees everyone who signed up. Everyone else sees a number, and your friends see your name. Faith, political and cultural societies stay hidden from friends unless you choose to show them, and you can hide any event yourself.

Who can sign up?

Students with an email from a uni where Motive is live. If that isn't you, an event's link still works: open it and sign up to an open event on the web with your name and email.
