It finds ideas that fit your mood, budget, neighborhood, and who you’re with. INTRODUCING VIBEPAD — BUILT WITH APPLE INTELLIGENCE VibePad is a Karpo exclusive that puts Apple Intelligence to work on your life in the city. Drop in a vibe — a feeling, a screenshot, a half-formed idea — and VibePad turns it into a real plan: places to go, things to do, moments worth leaving the house for, matched to your taste and your corner of New York. Because it works hand in hand with Apple Intelligence on your iPhone, it's fast, personal, and private by design. Just unboxed a new iPhone? This is what it was built for. “Two of us. Somewhere quiet. Around $50.” “Something fun, but low-key.” “Give me a reason to leave my apartment this Sunday.” ASK KARPO Know roughly what you want? Tell Karpo the way you’d tell a friend who knows the city. Add whatever matters—closer, quieter, more spontaneous—and Karpo shapes the ideas around the moment. DISCOVER Not sure what you want? Open Discover whenever you want inspiration. Explore ideas personalized around your taste and how you like to spend your time. Find: • A low-key night close to home • A date that feels thoughtful • A group plan people will actually agree on • A show, market, pop-up, or neighborhood to explore • A weekend with a little more shape Karpo has taste—and it learns yours. The more you save and explore, the less obvious and more personal the ideas become.

Available now in New York City. Karpo diem.

Does it feel like time is moving faster every year? It’s not just you—it’s your brain. When we fall into a repetitive routine, our brains stop recording the details. The result? Months and years seem to disappear into a blur of "autopilot" living. Routine Remix is designed to reclaim your time by injecting "Micro-Novelty" into your day. By making slight, intentional changes to your routine, you force your brain to wake up, pay attention, and create lasting memories. How it Works: We don't ask you to quit your job or move to a new city. We focus on the power of the 1% shift. Daily "Glitch" Prompts: Receive a daily suggestion to change one small thing—take a new route to work, eat lunch with your non-dominant hand, or listen to a genre of music you usually ignore. Novelty Tracking: Log your small wins and see how many "New Memory Days" you’ve created this month. The Science of Time: Learn why novelty stretches our perception of time through short, digestible insights. Key Features: Smart Suggestions: Curated tasks that fit into a busy schedule. Mindfulness Streaks: Track how many days you’ve successfully avoided autopilot. Community Ideas: See how others are shaking up their routines around the world. Minimalist Design: No clutter, no stress—just a gentle nudge to live more vividly. The Result: When you look back at your week, you won’t see a gray blur. You’ll see a series of distinct, vivid moments. Change your routine, change your brain, and slow down time.
