## What is Cafe Now?

"Let's grab a coffee somewhere."
You open a map app, see fifty pins, and end up deciding nothing.
Cafe Now exists to delete that indecision.

■ Swipe, and decide on the spot
Cafes near you come up one at a time, each with a big photo. Not feeling it? Swipe past. Looks good? Tap Go. That's the whole app.

■ Save the ones for another day
Somewhere you like but can't get to today? Tap the bookmark. It waits for you in your Cafe Log.

■ The places you go become your record
"7 this month." "45% roastery." Every cafe you actually visit gets counted, and your own taste starts to show.

■ Share what you found
Send the name and a map link straight to your messages. Whoever gets it taps once and the place opens — handy for deciding where to meet.

■ Works when you travel
Available in English, Traditional Chinese, Korean and Japanese. The app follows your device language, and place names come back in the local language.

■ Good for
· A break in the middle of the workday
· Killing twenty minutes before you meet someone
· Finding somewhere decent in a city you don't know
· Hunting for a quiet table to work at

■ How it works
Allow location access. That's it — no account, no sign-in.
Search radius goes from 500 m to 6 km.

Your Cafe Log is stored on your device and never sent anywhere.
Place information is provided by Google Maps Platform.
