Gavera is the planning app for you and your friends, taking the endless scrolling out of "So, what's the plan?". Define your taste, make plans and get your group's real picks.
Pick the cuisines you actually want, the types of bars and clubs you actually enjoy, the activities that don't feel like chores to you. Everyone is unique so define your preference; love, like, or hard pass. Refine as much as you want, anytime.
Search by handle, sync your contacts to find friends already on Gavera, or send a link to anyone who isn't. Build groups for your recurring crews so the next plan takes one tap to start.
Tap on a map for where you're meeting. Say how far is too far. Pick a window. Tick what kind of plan it is; food, drinks, activity, or any combination. We'll bring back five picks for each kind you tick.
Five real venues per kind you ticked, ranked by group fit, distance, ratings, opening hours and availability. Each one gets a one-line rationale that says exactly why this place for this group, this time.
Direct booking link if the venue takes online reservations. Tap to call straight from the card if they prefer phone bookings. Lock in the pick and the whole group sees it, and we'll add it to your Apple Calendar in one tap.
Built around the same place categories Google itself uses, so what you tick is what we match. Here's a handful, plenty more inside the app, and you'll add your own as you go.
Bars and clubs sit under both Drinks and Activity, because sometimes you just want a good cocktail and sometimes a night out is the whole plan. Bars that serve food also show up under Food.
We check every venue's current hours against the time you set. Closed kitchens, bank holiday closures, "open until 11pm Mondays" all caught before the recommendation lands on your screen.
Live ratings and review counts from public sources people already trust. We rank, we don't editorialise; the only opinion baked in is your group's.
Where the venue runs online reservations, we link straight to their booking page. No aggregator middle-tier, no "powered by" ads, no extra fees.
Some of the best places still take phone bookings only. We pull the verified phone number, put it on the card, one tap dials it. Works especially well for family-run spots.
Confirm a booking and we add it to your Apple Calendar with the venue, the time, the address. The whole group can do the same; nobody flakes because nobody forgets.
Friends see your display name, username, avatar, bio. They cannot see your home location, dietary preferences, phone number, or push token. Ever. Your contact list never leaves your device.
No spam. We'll email once when your invite is ready, and that's it.
