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?

Mimble — Meet in the Middle. Stop arguing about where to meet. Mimble finds the fairest spot for everyone using real travel times — not just the halfway point on a map. • Fair by design — Every place gets a Mimble Score balancing each person's actual drive, walk, or transit time with ratings and your filters. • Invite by text in seconds — Type a number and a name; your friend gets the join link instantly. No app? They just text back their address. • Everyone joins in — Friends tap the link (or enter a 6-character code), appear in the group automatically, set their own starting point, and vote. Votes and results sync live. • Ask in plain English — "Cheap tacos open now" or "good Italian halfway between us." Mimble AI turns it into filters, privately, on your device. • Built-in group chat — Plan it where you decide it. Mention @mimble to refresh the options for everyone. • Real place info — Photos, hours, ratings, street-level previews, and one-tap directions in your chosen transport mode. • Getaways too — Planning a girls' trip or guys' weekend? Mimble finds destinations fair to the whole crew. • Local deals — Verified local businesses can appear with exclusive deals; sponsored places are always labeled, never ranked above your best match. • Siri ready — "Hey Siri, start a Mimble." No accounts. No location history stored. Just the fairest place to meet.
