## What is ancy?

Rank every city you've ever been to. ancy is your travel journal and travel map: sort your cities into tiers, fill in every country you've visited, and see how your friends ranked the same places.

RANK EVERY CITY YOU'VE BEEN
Which was better, Tokyo or Rome? Sort your cities into tiers and build a travel leaderboard that's uniquely yours. Add photos, call out your must-try spots, and share the post with friends.

A PROFILE THAT TELLS YOUR TRAVEL STORY
Cities ranked, countries visited, and a world map that fills in with every place you've ever been. Your travel life, all in one place.

SEE HOW YOUR FRIENDS RANKED EACH CITY
See exactly how your friends ranked the same city, side by side with yours. Tap in to see their must-try spots, their photos, and who they went with.

WEEKLY POSTCARDS TO RELIVE TRAVEL MEMORIES
Every week, ancy asks a different travel question: best sunset, favorite bite, a place you'd go back to. Answer with one photo, browse your friends' postcards as they come in, and look back on your own anytime to relive where you've been.

PLAN ON A MAP, NOT A LIST
Drop pins for every restaurant, museum, and hidden gem and see your whole trip laid out in front of you. Chain cities together: Rome, then Florence, then Positano. Every stop gets its own map, dates, pins, and notes, plus a bucket list for cities you want to visit next. See a spot on TikTok or Instagram? Share it straight into ancy and it drops a pin for you. Invite a friend and plan together.

DISCOVER THE CITY'S BEST SPOTS
Don't know where to eat? Discover shows you the top-rated restaurants, bars, and cafes wherever you're headed. Swipe right to pin one to your map, swipe left for the next.

FIND YOUR NEXT CITY
Not sure where to go? Tell ancy where you're leaving from, how far you'll drive or fly, and what you're in the mood for: beaches, mountains, food, nightlife. It picks the city that fits, with travel time, typical weather, and how ancy users rated it.
