Balance brunch, wellness, and lower-lift activity plans with a discovery flow built around recovery energy instead of nightlife defaults. In Chicago, this use case is strongest when framed around better nights out with less guesswork and more member access..
Private beta
Explore, Friendorsed, Pull-Up, onboarding, city guides, and limited VibePass access are already live in Chicago. Perks and social signal are strongest where the early community is already moving.
Why this moment matters
Sunday plans often swing between doing too much and wasting the day entirely.
