Vibe
Before You
Step Out.

HAPA is a live city discovery app that shows you what's happening at venues and events near you right now. Venue owners post short photos and videos — called vibes — directly from their phones. Those posts appear instantly in a location-aware feed for anyone nearby who's looking for somewhere to go. You browse the feed, watch the vibes, and head out knowing exactly what to expect.

HAPA covers every type of city outing — bars, clubs, and nightlife; restaurants and dining events; live concerts and music nights; comedy, theatre, and spoken word; game nights and entertainment venues; fitness and wellness events; art galleries and pop-up markets; sports viewing parties; community festivals and seasonal events. If it's happening in your city today, it belongs on HAPA.

Yes — completely free for explorers, always. Browse the full discovery feed, watch vibes, like posts, get directions and search venues without paying anything, ever. For venue owners, listing your venue and posting up to 3 vibes per day is free. Pro and Elite subscription plans are available for venues that want unlimited posts, guaranteed top 5 placement, and more reach — but they're optional. You can use HAPA as a venue owner at no cost indefinitely.

No. You can browse the full live discovery feed, watch venue vibes, and search for places without creating an account or logging in. Anonymous browsing is built in by default. You only need to sign up if you're a venue owner who wants to post content.

TripAdvisor and Google Maps are review and information platforms — they tell you what a place was like, based on reviews that could be weeks or months old. Instagram is a social platform driven by algorithms that often bury smaller venues unless they pay for ads. HAPA is built for right now: content posted by venues today, surfaced by location, so you can make decisions based on what's actually happening Today — not what someone thought last November.

Sign up with your phone number — you'll receive a one-time code to verify. Set up your venue profile once: name, type, location, and photos. Then post from your phone camera anytime: shoot a short photo or video of what's happening at your venue Today, and it goes live in the discovery feeds of people nearby. The whole signup takes under 5 minutes. Each post takes under 60 seconds.

Vibes are short-lived by design — they're built to represent what's happening today, not serve as a permanent archive. This keeps the discovery feed always current and relevant. Venue owners can post new vibes anytime to stay active in local feeds.

HAPA is launching across cities, with Nairobi leading the rollout. Expansion is driven by venue sign-ups and user demand — the more venue owners and explorers join from your city, the faster we activate it. Download the app to see what's live near you, or list your venue to help bring HAPA to your city.

Pro gives venue owners unlimited daily posts, guaranteed placement in the top 5 venues shown to users each day, priority ranking in the city feed, full engagement metrics, and a verified badge. Elite includes everything in Pro plus one event spotlight per month, a featured city discovery banner, analytics export, and multi-location management. See the full pricing section below for exact costs in your local currency.

Yes. The Event Boost is a one-time purchase available to any venue — including free tier — that pins your post to the top of your city's discovery feed for 24 or 48 hours. It's designed for big nights, special events, or any time you want maximum visibility without committing to a monthly plan. Boosts start at $10 and can be purchased directly from your venue dashboard.
