Rec Rush watches sold-out city rec programs — swim lessons, camps, skating — and sends you a push notification the second a spot opens. You register on the official city site. We just make sure you're first to know.
How it works
Registration opened at 7 a.m., you logged in at 7:02, and everything good was gone. Spots open up all the time afterward — cancellations, schedule changes, added capacity. The trick is being the first to know.
Search Toronto's rec programs with filters that actually help — category, age, day of the week, "has openings." Every listing shows the three things parents scan for: what it is, where it is, and when it runs.
Found the perfect class but it's full or waitlisted? One tap sets a watch. We check the city's public availability every few minutes, around the clock — so you don't have to keep refreshing a browser tab at midnight.
The moment an opening appears, a time-sensitive notification lands on your phone with a direct link to the official City of Toronto registration page. You register there — same as always, just minutes after the spot appeared instead of days.
The Dates tab counts down to each registration opening with reminders the day before and 15 minutes before, plus a short checklist so your account, payment, and course numbers are ready before the clock hits 7:00.
Our promises
An app that watches things for your family should be completely upfront about how it works. So:
No bots, no auto-checkout, no touching your city account. Every registration happens by you, on the official city website.
Rec Rush doesn't have a place to enter your City of Toronto credentials, and it never will.
No child profiles, no birthdates, no names. We alert you about programs — we don't need to know anything about your family.
We monitor the same public listings anyone can see in a browser, at a respectful rate, with a clearly identified bot. How our checker works →
