Be Kalama.
Kalama finds the events, places and plans worth your time. No more digging through a dozen apps to figure out what’s happening. Whether it’s a night out, a date, or something for the kids, if it’s near you, Kalama already knows.
About Kalama
Named for the Bambara word meaning become aware, Kalama exists to keep you in the know, without the searching.
You want to do something with the kids this weekend. So you open app after app, scroll through a dozen half-relevant results, and either give up or settle for whatever’s easiest to find.
Or it’s Friday night, and you default to the same old bar again. Not because you love it, but because it’s the one you know, meanwhile something way better is happening two blocks away and you’ll never find out.
Or worse, you try to plan ahead and get buried in so many options across so many apps that you freeze up and just… don’t go anywhere.
Kalama solves all of it. One place that’s always aware of what’s happening around you, events, places, plans, so you’re never stuck searching, never stuck defaulting to the same old spot, and never overwhelmed into doing nothing.
You also have an interactive map with venues, events, and landmarks, showing you everything worth visiting and knowing in the city, whether you’re a newcomer or just visiting somewhere new.
And if you’re hosting something yourself, Kalama makes it just as easy to post your own event and get it in front of the right people nearby.
Who it’s for
Kalama isn’t built for one type of person. It’s built for everyone in your city, whatever your day looks like.
The student
Weekend, decompressed
Cheap, close and happening. The free show, the night market, the game. Filter by day or night and how far you’ll go, and stop scrolling three apps.
The professional
After work
Date night, happy hour, and the panel worth leaving early for. Business and community events sit beside the fun, so the calendar has room for both.
The parent
Kids by day, you by night
Daytime plans that are honestly for kids, and a date night later that is honestly for you. Two filters, one app, no babysitter-hour wasted on searching.
The retiree
Never too late to go out
Matinees, walking clubs, farmers markets, the free concert on a Tuesday afternoon. Kalama surfaces what’s happening in daylight hours too, not just nightlife.
The sports fan
Game day, every day
Pickup games, watch parties, tailgates, local leagues. Whether you’re playing or just want somewhere to watch, Kalama finds it near you.
The newcomer
New city, already in the know
Just moved, just visiting, or just never got around to exploring. Skip the “ask a local” phase. Kalama shows you what’s actually worth doing.
How it works
Plan it. Get inspired. Discover.
Discover
Open Kalama and see everything happening near you. Events, venues, hidden gems, all based on where you are. No searching, no jumping between apps.
Plan
Save what catches your eye and build it into a plan for the night or the day. Kalama fills in the rest: the right spot for dinner, the right timing, the right flow. Solo, with the kids, or with friends.
Host
Have your own event? Post it in minutes and get it in front of the right people near you. No more relying on word of mouth or hoping the right person sees your story.
The planner
Say it. It plans it.
Tap the globe and tell it the mood, the crowd and the budget. It builds a night or a day around real events near you, checks that places are open when you’d get there, and puts the plan on your calendar. It listens in amber and answers in violet. It remembers your family, your food and your part of town, so the second plan is better than the first.
The planner is a subscription. Browsing, the map, search and saving are free.
See it in action
Tell it the feeling. Watch the plan appear.
Tell Kalama what you’re feeling like, and watch your plan build itself, whether that’s a low-key night nearby or a full day exploring a new city’s landmarks.
