Colta is a social journal for your cultural life. Track everything you read, watch, and attend, then see what your friends are into. Whether it's a film that stayed with you, a book you couldn't put down, a concert that gave you chills, an exhibition that opened your eyes, or a play that moved you to tears, Colta gives you a beautiful place to remember it all. HOW IT WORKS Log an activity. Choose from five categories: Book, Movie, Theatre, Exhibition, and Concert. Add a title, a date, and optionally notes, photos, badges, and a location. Browse your journal. Switch between "My Logs" for a quick scroll through recent activity, and "Journal" for a deeper view with total, yearly, and monthly breakdowns. Filter by type or rating, and search across all your logs. Follow friends. Discover what the people you care about are reading, watching, and attending. Like their logs, leave comments with @mentions, and save the ones you want to revisit. Join clubs. Gather around shared interests, whether it's a book club, a cinephile circle, or a concert crew. Post updates, plan events, and discuss what you love with people who get it. Explore the map. Discover every museum in Paris, see which ones you've already visited, and log a visit in a single tap. Stay in the loop. Get notified when someone likes your log, comments on your activity, mentions you, or starts following you. DESIGNED TO BE SIMPLE No algorithms. Just a clean, warm feed of real cultural experiences from people you actually know. Start logging. Start remembering.
