Outernet is creating a new type of internet use, in which our phones serve as a map of IRL exploration that gets us outside, instead of keeping us stuck scrolling indoors. Outernet helps you save and organize the places/events you want to check out, so it’s easy to actually go! You can share any place/event to Outernet (via tiktok, instagram reels, website URLs, screenshots, or pictures), and we’ll do the research, summarize what you need to know, and organize your plans so it’s easy to actually go. And as you complete your saved adventures, you collect stamps! When you’re on the Outernet, you can: - Actually remember to check out that cool pop-up, arts festival, woodworking class, etc. - Create a collection of trinket box locations or top coffee shops in your city, then check each off as you explore it - Plan date nights that’ll blow your partner’s socks clean off - Organize family days that both the kiddos and adults enjoy - Easily create itineraries for your vacations (both in the books and aspirational) - And most of all, spend more time outside doing things, instead of just being online watching them! This is only the beginning of Outernet reshaping how we use the internet, and we’d love to have you join us on our adventure. We’ll cya outside!
