Burnoff.fyi is your source for local events that help you make sense of the world. The Bay Area is full of conversations that feed your inner nerd — lectures, book talks, science nights, civic forums, salons. But finding them takes real work: constantly scanning your favorite hosts’ websites, browsing multiple apps, subscribing to countless newsletters, tracking social media. Almost as if the richness of what’s on offer here were obscured by fog. Burnoff clears the fog. We gather what’s happening at more than 100 Bay Area sources — universities, museums, bookshops, civic organizations, independent organizers and curators — into one place, refreshed every single day. We help you find the events that match your interests, and we help them find their audience. • Browse the full list of events, free. Everything lands in one place, and it’s easy to filter for exactly what you’re seeking! ‣ Filter by topic, vibe, region and date — down to individual cities ‣ Four ways to look: a list, compact rows, full cards, and a map ‣ Search everything, or just scroll ‣ Save what catches your eye — kept on your phone, no account needed ‣ Add anything to your calendar in two taps ‣ Ask AI to scan the whole calendar and answer a question in your own words — 5 a month, free • Or let Burnoff do the work and find what you’re looking for. This app’s real magic is personalized recommendations — for supporters who subscribe, $4.99 a month. We love it here because there’s so much happening. Burnoff’s database is updated daily and it’s big — there can be 50+ events in a single day. Our subscriber tools help surface the ones most relevant for you. ‣ Your app can save personal preferences — your interests, goals, ideal times and locations, or anything else you want to add — and make recommendations to match ‣ It lives on your phone. You control it, tune it with feedback, and can change or delete it whenever you like. Burnoff never saves it ‣ Burnoff finds the events that fit, and every recommendation explains why it’s a good match for what you told it ‣ A new set every Sunday morning, in the app and by email — choose 5, 10 or 20 picks ‣ Want one sooner? Ask for a fresh set any time, 15 a month — in addition to the weekly set ‣ You also get a higher cap on Ask AI questions (60/month with your personal preferences as context, instead of a 5/month cap without context for free users) • Private by design. No account, no ads, no tracking. What you save stays on your phone, and your preferences live there too — they travel to the model to choose your picks, and Burnoff never saves them. There’s no profile of you sitting on a server, nothing to leak, and nothing to delete but the app itself. Burnoff is an independent, hand-curated project, built with love for the Bay Area, the curious minds who live here, and the event producers constantly creating this wealth of opportunities to learn, connect, and grow from. Subscription: Personalized Recommendations, $4.99/month with a one-month free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and you can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings at any time.

Some fine-tuning so everything works as intended: - Sunday's set now arrives ready. The weekly notification brings your recommendations rather than asking you to build them. - If you had the weekly switched on before this update, your next set is on the way.
