how it works

Three things.
Then you’re out.

Making a plan takes about nine seconds. Everything after that happens on the apps you already use.

  1. Say what you're doing. Four fields: what, where, when, and how many people it fits. No title, no description, no cover image. Type it the way you'd text it — 'ramen', 'the usual place', 'tonight 8'.
  2. Drop the link. You get one link and a Story-sized image. Post either wherever your friends already look: an Instagram Story, a Snapchat chat, a WhatsApp group, X, Threads, Reddit. The link unfurls into a card showing the plan, so people can read it without tapping.
  3. See who's in. Someone taps 'I'm interested' and you're told. They don't need an account to read the plan, only to join. When it fills, it says so. You never had to ask anyone anything.

What the link actually does

Every plan gets a short permanent address like wyamn.lol/p/55gzwxn. That address is the entire distribution mechanism, so a lot of care goes into what happens when it lands somewhere:

  • In a chat or a post it unfurls into a card with the plan on it — title, place, time, and how many spots are left. People decide before they tap.
  • On a Story a link preview doesn’t exist, so you get a real 1080×1920 image of the plan instead. Save it, post it, add a link sticker. There is a QR code on the image for people who won’t tap a sticker.
  • Opened from an in-app browser — Instagram, Snapchat, WhatsApp — it works the same as anywhere else. No “open in browser” dance, no app install.
  • Without an account it still shows the whole plan. Signing up is only required to say you’re coming, and if you tap first, your tap is remembered and applied as soon as you finish.

Times, and why they don’t drift

A plan means a wall clock at a place. If you set 8pm in Bengaluru, everyone who opens the link sees 8pm — in the page, in the link preview, and on the Story image. The plan carries the timezone it was made in, so a friend looking at it from London doesn’t get shown 2:30pm for a dinner they were never going to attend.

Capacity, and what “full” means

A plan holds between two and fifty people, counting you. When the last spot goes, the plan reads as full everywhere at once. That limit is enforced in the database rather than in the page, which means two people tapping at the same moment for one remaining spot cannot both get in — exactly one does, and the other is told it filled up.

Public or link-only

By default a plan is link-only: it goes to the people you send it to and it is kept out of search engines. You can instead put a plan on the public board, where anyone can find it and tap in. That’s a deliberate choice per plan, not a setting you forget you left on.

What it costs

Nothing. There is no paid tier and no advertising. See the FAQ for the rest, or just make one — it’s faster than reading about it.
