How it works

From group chat to going out.
Three steps. Zero faff.

01

Tell us the vibe

Tired? Feeling feral? Quiet one? We'll take it from there. No questionnaire. Just a mood.

— we're listening.
02

Your group swipes together

Everyone votes. No downloads. Every swipe teaches us what your group actually likes.

— your taste. your call.
03

Turn up somewhere brilliant

Plan's made. Everyone agreed. You just have to show up. That's the whole point.

— together. obviously.

Why your group will love it

Less faff. More together.

01

Everyone's invited. No download.

Send one link. Your mates vote in their browser. No app needed. Nobody gets left out.

Zero friction
02

Find when you're all free

Schedule overlap in one tap. No more "I'll check my diary" followed by silence.

03

It learns what you actually like

Every swipe builds your taste profile. Better recommendations every time. Like a mate who actually listens.

04

Your money stays local

100% independent venues. No chains. Every penny goes to someone who gives a damn about what they make.

05

Sofa nights count too

Takeaway, films, games night. Not every nudge needs shoes. We'll sort the sofa plan just as well.

06

Any mood. Any group size.

Date night, big group, solo explore, quiet pint. Tell us the vibe and we'll match it.

07

Hygiene ratings built in

Every venue checked against FSA data. Below a 4 out of 5? Filtered out. You'll never even see it.

5-star
92%
4-star

You could be going out.

Staying in

Together doesn't
mean going out.

Takeaway, films, games night — thenudge. works just as well from the sofa. Same group. Same vibes. Different shoes (or no shoes). We're not judging. Honestly, same.

The best nights in start with a nudge too.

Good for Manchester

Built here. Spent here. Kept here.

🏙️

100% independent venues

No chains. No franchises. Every place on thenudge. is locally owned and gives a damn.

🤝

Your spend stays in Manchester

Every nudge puts money back into the city. Not into a corporate HQ somewhere else.

❤️

Manchester-made. Not imported.

Built here by people who actually go out here. Not a London startup expanding north. Ours.

🌱

Carbon neutral hosting

Renewable energy servers. Your night out shouldn't cost the planet.

🧼

Every venue hygiene-checked

FSA ratings built in. Below a 4 out of 5? Automatically filtered. Your group never needs to worry about it.

Honest about the money

How we make money.
No, really.

📣

Yes, there are ads on the free version

Contextual ads. Not creepy profiling. Manchester-focused — bars, food, nights out. Stuff you'd actually want to see.

Want it without? Go ad-free.

Paid tier available. No tracking. Nothing sold on. Simple.

🍔

What we actually use your data for

Swipes, vibe preferences, rough location. That's it. We don't read your messages, track your browsing, or sell anything to anyone.

🗑️

It's yours to take back

Request it deleted and we delete it. No dark patterns. No guilt-trip pop-ups. No 47-step process.

Shape it with us

What would make you
actually use this?

Tell us what you think. Every answer goes straight to the people building it — not a feedback void.

🗣️ What would make you actually use this?
🤔 What's the one thing you wish an app like this did?

For venue owners

Your next regulars

You control your story

Description, hours, vibes, photos — update anytime. Your venue, your voice. We just connect you to people who'll love it.

🎯

Taste-matched. Not reviewed.

No star ratings. No anonymous takedowns. People find you because you match their vibe — not because someone had a bad Thursday.

📊

Know what your customers want

Swipes on your venue, vibe context, which groups matched with you. Anonymised, simple, actually useful.

📣

Reach people who are actually going out

Sponsored placement puts you in front of groups actively planning tonight. Not scrolling past an ad. Contextual, local, high-intent.
