Events are the gatherings that make Frequency real: the in-person and online meetups your circles host. This is where showing up actually happens.
RSVPing
- Open an event to see the details and RSVP so the host knows you're coming. Not sure yet? Mark yourself Interested instead. It signals you're curious without claiming a spot.
- Bringing people? On a "going" RSVP you can add +1, +2 guests so the host has an accurate headcount.
- The event page shows who's already going (faces, the count, your guests, and anyone from your circles) so you can see the room before you arrive.
- Changed your plans? You can update your RSVP anytime.
- When you RSVP, we email you a confirmation with the details and a one-tap calendar link (and a quick note if you land on the waitlist), then nudge you again as the date nears.
- Your upcoming events surface in your feed so they don't sneak up on you.
Capacity & waitlists
- Some gatherings have a limited group size so they stay intimate. When an event is full, you can join the waitlist.
- If someone's plans change and a spot opens up, the next person on the waitlist is moved to "going" automatically, no need to keep checking.
- You'll only ever see a "filling up" note when spots are genuinely running low. We don't do fake countdowns or pressure.
Recurring events & your calendar
- Many circles run recurring gatherings (a weekly sit, a monthly walk), and each occurrence is its own event you can RSVP to.
- Add to calendar in one tap. Right where you RSVP, you can drop the event into Google Calendar or any app (it exports a standard calendar file). Putting it on your calendar is the single best way to actually make it.
Finding events
- Browse the events library and filter by what kind of gathering it is (ceremony, movement, learning, social, and more), by its energy (grounding vs. high-activation), or to show only events that still have open spots.
- Set a home location on your profile and you can also filter by distance, showing only gatherings hosted within 10, 25, or 50 km of you. (We use your approximate neighborhood, never your exact address.)
- When we have a sense of what fits you, a "For You" lane suggests gatherings you'd be into, and tells you, plainly, why. If we don't have enough to go on yet, you'll just see what's soonest and nearest.
Post an event you found
See a cool event poster around town? Capture it and put the event on Frequency.
- Open Capture and tap Upload a poster. Snap the whole poster, ideally squared up and out of direct glare; the app reads it and drafts the event for you: title, time, place, lineup, the works. A slight tilt or a little shine is fine, it straightens and reads the poster on its own.
- If the poster has a QR code, the app reads it too and saves the booking or RSVP link straight onto the event.
- Check the draft, fix anything the poster made hard to read, and publish. If it's your event, you become the host. If you found it, it posts to local events with your name on it: "Posted by you" with a little Zap.
- Posting someone else's event earns Zaps, and you get a ready-to-send message inviting the organizer to claim it. When they claim it, the event becomes theirs to run, your credit stays, and you earn a claim bonus.
- Keep it honest: events that real people RSVP to and organizers actually claim build your posting reputation. Flooding the library with events nobody engages with earns nothing.
Tickets & paying
- Many gatherings are free; just RSVP. Some are ticketed, and hosts can price them however fits: a set price, pay-what-you-can, a sliding scale, or a donation. Pick the amount that works for you (within any minimum the host sets).
- Payment goes straight to the host. If plans change, hosts can refund a ticket, and if a host cancels the event, everyone who paid is refunded automatically and emailed to let you know.
Building Current together
- When you show up to a gathering with your circle, your circle builds Current together: a shared measure of your circle showing up for each other. It builds every time a member attends.
- It's collaborative, not a competition. Circles are never ranked against each other. A circle's Current stays private to its members unless the circle chooses to share it.
Chat and photos
- Every event has a little activity feed. Say hi before the day, ask a question, or thank the host after. RSVP to join in.
- Once it's over, drop your photos in the shared recap album so the whole group keeps the memory.
Subscribe and discover
- Subscribe to your events as a calendar. Add one link to Google or Apple Calendar and your RSVPs show up automatically, no re-checking.
- Organizer pages gather everything a host runs at one link, so you can follow the people whose gatherings you like.
- Switch the library to map view to see what's happening near you (we use your approximate neighborhood, never an exact address).
- We'll quietly point out people you might click with: folks going to the same event who share a Channel with you and aren't connected yet.
For hosts
- Announce to your guests. Send a note to everyone who's coming, across in-app, push, and email. Anyone who muted the event or turned off event notifications is skipped.
- Manage screen. See your whole guest list, export it, move people off the waitlist, and check people in at the door. You reach it from the event's editor.
- Cohosts. Add a cohost and they can help run the event right alongside you.
Tips
- New to a circle? An event is the easiest way in: say you're coming, then just show up.
- Hosts run events for their circle, so the gatherings you see follow the circles you've joined.
