## What is Curio?

Curio is your own map of the places you love, and it learns your taste as you go.

Keep the restaurant a friend recommended, the cafe you spotted on Instagram and the places from your saved lists, all on one map. Add the notes that make them yours, and find them when you're ready to go.

YOUR MAP
• Every place you save lands on one map, each with its category, so you can read your city at a glance.
• Add personal notes, categories and tags.
• See opening hours, photos, addresses, websites and more.
• Find similar spots near any place you love.

YOUR TASTE
Tap Love, Like or Not for me on places near you. Curio reads your reactions into a taste of your own, with a name, the places behind it and what you tend to skip. Every reaction sharpens it, and you can undo any change.

ASK YOUR MAP
Type what you want the way you'd ask a friend: "date night in the West Village", "coffee open now", "places Maya shared". Curio answers from your own map first and tells you why each pick fits. Search a friend's places by their name or by one of their maps, and tap Ask more to keep going.

ADD FROM ANYWHERE
• Share a public Instagram post to Curio to find the places inside it.
• Share a place from Google Maps or Apple Maps straight to Curio.
• Bring in your saved Google places with a guided import.
• Search for a place, or press and hold anywhere on the map to add your own.

PLAN A DAY
Pick a day and who's coming. Curio builds a day out from your saves and your friends' maps, with times, walks between stops and room to change anything.

PLACES FROM YOUR PEOPLE
• Add shared maps from friends to your own.
• Show or hide each person's places whenever you want.
• Keep their recommendations and notes beside the place.

SHARE
• Send one place, a neighborhood or a handpicked map.
• Choose whether your notes and tags travel with it.
• Let friends join the live map.

ACTIVITY
The bell on your map shows when friends join your maps, when a plan is ready and when an import is done. Choose which updates reach your phone and which come by email in Settings.

WHEN YOU'RE READY TO GO
Check hours and details, then start spoken turn-by-turn directions for driving, walking or cycling. Active guidance can continue if you switch apps.

Your map. Your people.
