cur8ed reads what you already watch and save, then uses it to introduce you to people nearby who are into the same things, and to real places worth going tonight. HOW IT WORKS Connect your profiles, or just talk to the Curator for two minutes. Either way it learns what you are actually into, not what you claim on a profile. TONIGHT Open the app and see what is on in your city: curated venues, small plans, and the handful of people who would genuinely enjoy the same thing. Tap "I'm down" and the plan fills in around you. GO SOLO Not every night is a group night. Five places picked for you alone, refreshed through the day, each with a reason it fits you and when it closes. THE CURATOR A guide that knows your city and your taste. Ask it who is free this weekend, what to do tonight, or to introduce you to someone worth knowing. YOUR CIRCLE A shared calendar with friends, group chats, and plans that start from real free time instead of a group chat that goes nowhere. You choose what is visible. You can drop any interest or delete your account in the app.
