The Real Austin, Right Now

Instead of...

  • Reading an outdated article about "Top 10 Places to Brunch"
  • Wondering if Barton Springs is too packed
  • Guessing if Rainey Street is dead or alive tonight

With CityVibe you...

  • See today's real brunch lines
  • Watch a 15-second video taken an hour ago
  • Scroll the current vibe captured by a real person

Why Spotters Matter

Spotters aren't influencers. They're everyday people equipped to provide a snapshot of on-the-ground happenings—and getting paid for it.

You become part of a living, breathing map of the city. You're not selling anything—you're sharing the city's real pulse.

We've paid out over $10,000 to spotters in just the last few weeks!

Why Viewers Love CityVibe

No guessing. No hype. No FOMO frustration.

Just the real answer: Should I go now? Should I skip it? What's the vibe?

CityVibe becomes a daily habit—quick, real, visual decisions about where to eat, shop, explore, chill, party, or avoid.
