FAQs

Motive is a real-time social discovery app that shows you what’s happening around you right now — from house parties and pop-ups to casual meetups and open invites. You can drop a pin to signal where the move is, or join one that’s already live. When you host, your friends (or your whole campus) get notified instantly, making plans happen in seconds instead of hours.

Open the app to see an active map of nearby plans. Tap to join or request access. Want to host? Drop a pin, choose who can see it (Public, Friends-of-Friends, or Invite-Only), and it goes live instantly.

Anyone who prefers “What’s happening now?” over waiting around. It’s used across campuses and cities by party hosts, social crews, promoters, hobby groups, and spontaneous planners.

Yes — visibility is fully up to you. When posting, choose between Public, Friends-of-Friends, or Private / Invite-Only.

No. You can browse anonymously and only reveal your location when you choose to join or host something.

Everything from house parties and bar meetups to pick-up games, late-night food runs, and “pull up if you’re close” linkups. Big or small — if it’s happening in real life, it belongs on Motive.

Instagram is curated and Snapchat only shows you your existing friends. Motive lets you see what’s active beyond your immediate circle, giving you access to all nearby plans — not just the ones you were already invited to.

Motive is free for organizers — we charge zero fees to post or promote events, and if you consistently host through the app, we’ll even sponsor you with cash bonuses or promo support. DM @motiveappca or your local campus Motive account to get started.

Motive is live across major Canadian university cities including London, Waterloo, Guelph, Toronto, and expanding rapidly. If your area isn’t active yet — you can be the one to launch it.

We recruit Campus Moderators and City Leads who know where the real moves are. If you’re that person, apply in-app or DM us to unlock perks.
