Three steps. Real campus. Infinite aura.

01

Pick a challenge

Snap proof. Post it.

Show up, hit the camera, write a caption, and submit. Every post is reviewed before it lands on the feed — no fakes, no bots.

03

Farm aura. Climb ranks.

Stack aura points and watch your tier glow up from gray to red across the global and friends-only leaderboards.

Features

Built for people who actually leave their dorm.

PROOF

Photo-proof posts

Every challenge submission ships with a real photo and caption. No location-spoofing, no AI slop — just receipts.

REVIEW

Reviewed before it lands

Posts go through a quick moderation pass before they hit the feed. Your aura only counts after it's verified.

TIER

7 aura tiers, rainbow ladder

Climb gray → purple → blue → green → yellow → orange → red. Your tier is your reputation.

VS

Friend leaderboards

Add your crew, watch your friends' aura totals climb in real time. Talk smack. Beat them. Repeat.

FLAG

Community flags

Spotted something sketchy in the feed? Flag it. Five flags per user per week — use them wisely.

SLO

Cal Poly only. For now.

@calpoly.edu emails only. We're starting with one campus to build something real before going wide.

Aura tiers

Climb the rainbow.

Every challenge you complete bumps you up the ladder. Higher tier = harder to fake = louder flex.

FAQ

Things people actually ask.

For now, only Cal Poly San Luis Obispo students with a valid @calpoly.edu email. We're going deep on one campus first — more schools are on the roadmap.

Two layers: every post requires a real photo, and every post is reviewed before it hits the feed. Once it's live, the community gets 5 flags per week to call out anything that slipped through. Repeat offenders get yeeted.

Aura points, tier glow-ups, leaderboard placement, and cred. Rewards (real ones — local merch, food spots, etc.) are on the roadmap once we launch.

Search by name inside the app and send a request. Once they accept, you'll see each other's posts in a private friends-only feed and a friends leaderboard.

Yes. Forever for the core experience. No ads. No premium tier-buying. Aura is earned, not bought.

On the iOS App Store. Scroll up and tap Download on the App Store, or use the Get the app buttons in the nav — that opens our listing. You will need a @calpoly.edu email to sign up for the Cal Poly campus.
