About This Week
This Week is a local events map app that shows what’s on near you this week — nights out on a map, not another feed.
What This Week does
A map of this week
Open the app and see public events pinned on a map for the current week. Filter by day, tap a pin for the card, and decide what you’re actually going to.
Editions for real places
Each covered area is its own edition with a land-only map silhouette and a curated week of local events. Switch editions when you want another city’s week.
Going, reminders, and your week
Mark Going or Not Going, set Remind, and keep your plans on your account across devices. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email when you’re ready.
Launch waitlist
If This Week isn’t in your city yet, join the waitlist with your email and city or ZIP. We’ll notify you when an edition launches near you.
What makes This Week different
Week-scoped, not infinite scroll
This Week is built around this week’s calendar. You’re not scrolling a bottomless feed of posts and ads — you’re looking at what’s on between now and Sunday.
Map-first, not list-first
Events live on a map so you can see what’s near the beach, downtown, or your neighborhood without hunting through a citywide list.
Curated public nights out
We focus on public, primary-confirmed local events — live music, markets, talks, comedy, community nights — not every RSVP link on the internet.
One clean area outline
Each edition uses a single land silhouette for the covered cities. No ocean fill, no spaghetti of internal borders — just the place you’re looking at.
Free to start
The app is free to download and use. Optional paid features (for example an ad-free Cluster Pro tier) may come later; nothing is required to browse the week map.
Who uses This Week
- People who want a simple answer to “what’s going on this week near me?”
- Locals who prefer a map over Instagram Stories and group chats
- Visitors checking one city for a few nights
- Anyone who wants reminders for a show, market, or night out without living in a social feed
The team behind This Week

Frequently asked questions
What is This Week?
This Week is an iOS app that puts this week’s public local events on a map for your area. It’s meant for nights out, not for scrolling a social feed.
Is This Week free?
Yes. You can download and use the week map without paying. Paid options may appear later; they won’t be required just to see what’s on.
Where is This Week available?
Several Southern California editions are live inside the app today. If your city isn’t covered yet, join the waitlist with your email and city or ZIP and we’ll notify you when it launches.
How is this different from Eventbrite or Instagram?
Eventbrite is a ticketing marketplace. Instagram is a feed. This Week is a curated, week-scoped map for one place at a time so you can see what’s actually on nearby this week.
How do I delete my account?
Sign in, open account, and choose Delete Account. Or email elliotjbrainerd@gmail.com and we’ll help.
Who built This Week?
Elliot Brainerd. It’s an independent local product expanding one edition at a time.
