Something's afoot.
Not a feed. Not fifty ideas to scroll past. afoot sends you a single thing worth doing — alone — then keeps the record of everything you actually did.
Your week
You'll feel like everyone can tell. Within one song nobody's looking at you — they're looking at the band.
Commit and it goes in your calendar, with a reminder before and a nudge after to capture it.
The idea was never the hard part.
Any free chatbot will hand you a hundred things to do in four seconds. That's why endless recommendation doesn't move anyone — the deciding is cheap, and the scroll never ends.
afoot gives you one thing, sized to your nerve and your week. You commit, you go, and it's done. That's the entire trick, and it's the one nobody else is doing.
How it works
Everything afoot does bends toward the fourth step. The record is the product — the switching cost, the moat, and the reason the next prompt is better than the last.
One thing arrives on your chosen day, at your chosen time. Never a feed.
One tap picks a time and writes it to your calendar. The most important thing you'll do here.
The app is closed. You're out there, on your own. The only step that actually counts.
Afterwards: one photo, one line, one tap for how it felt. Thirty seconds.
It lands in your Logbook — stamped, dated, placed. Proof you went.
…and the archive makes the next prompt better. Round it goes.
One thing, three sizes.
A solo adventure every day is a promise nobody keeps. So afoot has three sizes, and only asks for the big ones as often as a real life has room for.
Take a different way home and photograph one thing you've never noticed.
Small enough to get you to your first one inside a day.
Find the jazz room below street level. Ask for a table for one. Go to a gig alone.
The core of it. The thing you'll be telling people about.
The one that becomes a story — the first Drop of each month, if you've earned the nerve.
Costs a Drop, never adds one. Nobody's asked out more often.
Every thing carries a nerve rating. You start gentle — sit in the café you keep walking past — and unlock the bolder ones by doing them. Stay on the dance floor for three songs is up there.
The part that keeps you.
Every thing you finish lands here — one photo, one line, the date and the place. Not a streak to protect. A record of a year you actually showed up for. Nobody else will ever have your Logbook.

If you just moved here —
A new city is the moment this matters most: the pain is sharpest, the calendar is empty, and nobody's routine is competing for the time. afoot was built for exactly this — the first ninety days, when a place is still a stranger and going alone is how you make it yours.
