## What is Lovy?

Dining, sightseeing, the gym, yoga, concerts, shopping—or simply the walk home.

Lovy is a new kind of social map for a new era: a place to effortlessly capture any experience tied to a real-world location, share it within a private community, and rediscover and reshape your world—and worlds you never knew existed—together with friends you trust.

Maps are drowning in pins.
That restaurant someone recommended is buried somewhere in your chats.
And you can’t trust a sea of five-star reviews anymore.

With Lovy, you can capture, share, and discover information from people you trust—all organized by AI into a smart, intuitive map.

■ Turn every place into a log of your experiences

Bring your rating, photos, videos, and comments together in a single log. Visit the same place again? Create a new log for each visit, so you can easily look back on when you went, who you were with, and the memories you made there.

You can also edit or delete your logs after posting, or change the place they’re linked to.

■ Capture what each place means to you

For places you’ve visited, choose from “Love,” “Like,” “OK,” or “Not for me.”
For places you haven’t, choose “Want to go,” “Curious,” or “Planning to go.”

It’s a simple, fun way to capture your relationship with every place—and you can easily filter your map to show only the places you want to visit.

■ Every log you can see, in chronological order

Your feed brings together logs from people you trust, based on your relationships and each log’s visibility settings.

Fresh logs with photos or videos also appear as Stories on the map for 72 hours. Tap a photo or place name to jump straight to that place’s details or location on the map.

■ Likes, comments, and notifications

See reactions and comments on your own logs, and leave likes or comments on your friends’ logs.

New followers, friends who rated the same place, likes, comments, and other activity related to you are available from the notification bell at the top of Feed.

■ Four levels of privacy

Logs are shared with Friends by default, but you can choose the right audience for each one: “Only Me,” “Close Friends,” “Friends,” or “Public.”

For example, save a friend’s home as “Masato’s Place” and set it to “Only Me.” No more scrolling endlessly through old chats the next time you’re heading over.

Your location is used only to display the map around you and help sort search results. It is never saved to your profile or logs.

We don’t share your location with other users or use it for advertising or tracking.

Let trust and stories redraw the contours of our world—and turn the beauty of our ordinary everyday lives into something worth exploring.
