Tabical turns your city into a swipeable adventure. Instead of drowning in reviews and half-baked recommendations, Tabical serves you curated 2-4 hour micro-itineraries; hand-sequenced stops that actually flow together. A coffee shop that leads naturally to a bookstore. A museum followed by the perfect lunch spot, two minutes away. Real sequences for real afternoons. HOW IT WORKS Open the Explore tab and start swiping. Each card is a complete micro-itinerary for your city: 2-4 stops with photos, ratings, hours, price level, category, and vibe tags. Swipe right to save it. Swipe left to pass. Behind the scenes, every swipe teaches Tabical your taste. A preference model learns from each decision. The more you swipe, the sharper your picks get. CREATE YOUR OWN Know a sequence nobody's put together yet? Build it. Head to the Create tab, pick 2-4 spots in your city, and Tabical shapes them into a real itinerary. Search every venue in the city or start from stops you've already liked, then filter by rating, price, and category to land on exactly the right place. Drag to reorder, swipe to remove, tap any stop for the full details. Preview your draft as a card or on the map before you commit. Stuck on what to call it? Tabical will draft a title and description from your stops, and you can edit whatever comes back. Publish, and it goes live on your profile and in your followers' feeds. If someone already built the same route in the same order, we'll show you theirs instead of making a duplicate, and it lands in your saved list as a discovery. FRIENDS & SOCIAL Follow friends and see what they're saving. Every itinerary card shows which of your friends have saved it, so you can trust what's actually worth doing, not just what an algorithm thinks. Browse any friend's profile to see their saved picks, the itineraries they've built, and everything they've completed by city. Rate the individual stops inside any itinerary with a like or dislike, and save the standout ones on their own. REFINE Not sure what you're in the mood for? Hit the Refine tab and describe it in plain English. Type "something chill with good coffee" or "bars with a rooftop" and get a custom deck built around that query in seconds. SAVE, COMPLETE & REVISIT Right-swipe any itinerary to save it. Once you've done it in real life, mark it Done. Your profile keeps a running list of everything you've saved, created, and completed, filtered by city. ITINERARY ARCHETYPES Every itinerary falls into one of six curated styles: • Date Night: romantic spots with atmosphere • Active Social: high-energy venues for groups • Sunday Explore: laid-back weekend wandering • Hidden Gems: lesser-known local favorites • Culture Day: art, history, and neighborhood character • Big Night Out: the full evening experience YOUR CITIES Tabical currently covers New York City, Washington DC, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Boston, Seattle, and Chicago, with more cities on the way. Switch cities anytime from your profile. Your saved itineraries travel with you. Fresh itineraries drop overnight. Open the app tomorrow, and your deck is new.
