Down to Clown

For iPhone & Android · Coming soon

See something fun? Make it a plan.

Down to Clown turns a photo of an event flyer into a calendar event. Snap it, check it, tap I’m Down.

I’m Down How it works

No account. No uploads. Your flyers never leave your phone.

How it works

See it. Scan it. Confirm it. I’m Down.

Four steps from a flyer on a lamppost to a plan on your calendar. No typing.

  1. See it

    A flyer on a café wall, a poster downtown, a post in your feed.

  2. Scan it

    Snap it with the camera, pick a screenshot, or share the image straight in from Photos, Instagram or anywhere else.

  3. Confirm it

    Check what it found. Fix anything that needs it in a tap.

  4. I’m Down

    It’s on your calendar, and the flyer is saved in My Plans.

What it reads

Everything on the flyer, right off the photo.

The event name, date, time, location, price, links and QR codes. It even catches the fine print, like a registration deadline that isn’t the event date.

Handles the annoying stuff

Flyers are messy. It copes.

  • Several dates?

    A flyer with a whole run of dates gives you a list. Tick the ones you’re down for.

  • Every Sunday

    A flyer that says “every Sunday” or “every other Friday” becomes an event that repeats on your calendar.

  • No double-booking

    Already added this one? It notices, and links to the event you have instead of making a copy.

  • Wonky photos

    It turns a sideways or upside-down shot the right way up and trims the flyer’s border.

  • My Plans

    The original flyer is saved with every plan, so you can search for it and find it later.

  • Share it in

    See a flyer in another app? Share the image to Down to Clown and it goes straight to review.
