Timable is an online event listing platform in Hong Kong, consisting of websites and mobile apps, co-founded by Sam Yuen and Mike Ko in 2010. It covers events happening in town, ranging from concerts, dramas, exhibitions, festivals, events for family, etc.

Contents

Timable, an original word, means "able to time" according explanation on its website. The letter "e" is omitted in the word based on common English grammar, like "scalable", "writable". Timable represents vision of the platform - to search by time. Users can search for events, matching their spare time. However, the name is often mistaken as "timeable" or "timetable". At the moment, there is no corresponding Chinese name for Timable.

Contents are contributed by event organizers in Web 2.0 approach, or published by Timable Editors. By end of 2013, over 23,000 events are recorded.
