About

Usuals

Read full description

Find your usual. Some places you want to remember. Some you want to share - but only with the right people. Usuals is a private social map for the places you actually return to. The sunset bench. The late-night diner. The bookstore with the good window. The coffee shop that just gets it. Save them. Add a tag, a note, a photo. Mark them public, friends-only, or just for you. And when you and a friend land at the same place, Usuals nudges you to capture a Moment together - one shared card of being there, with whoever else showed up. Then see where your friends go, too - a feed of places your trusted people actually return to. - Drop a pin, choose who sees it - Build collections: Best Coffee, Sunset Walks, Date Night - See your friends' usuals, send a place into a chat - Every usual has a visibility: public, friends-only, or private No data sales. Just your usuals, your map, your people.
