Gimik

About

Built for the sentence nobody finishes.

“We should do that sometime” is one of the most common things people say to each other, and one of the least likely to happen. Gimik exists to close that gap and nothing else.

The idea was never the hard part.

Everyone can name five things they would genuinely like to do with people they genuinely like. The ideas are not scarce. What is scarce is the moment someone says a day out loud.

So Gimik is not a place to collect intentions beautifully. The list is only there to make the next step possible: seeing that someone else already wants the same thing, and putting a date on it while you both still have the nerve.

Everything else in the app follows from that. Threads exist so the plan has somewhere to be argued about. Groups exist because most plans are not one-to-one. The record exists because a calendar throws the day away once it passes, and the day was the whole point.

What it is not

Three things Gimik refuses to be.

Not a dating app

Gimik is built around people you already know and groups you are already in. Opening a plan up means people already going can join it — not that you are being introduced to strangers.

Not another group chat

Chats are where plans go to be forgotten. Gimik attaches the conversation to the plan, so the thread cannot outlive the thing it is about.

Not a productivity tool

There are no streaks, no scores and nothing to keep up with. A someday you never do costs you nothing.

Where it starts

The Philippines first, properly.

Not a soft launch in a market nobody is watching. Gimik is built and tested here — the cities in it are Cebu, Quezon City, Taguig, Makati and Davao, the people in it speak Cebuano, Filipino and English, and the servers sit close enough that the app feels local because it is.
