Local Lence vs Desire Path

LocalLence helps you plan real trips across Japan from the short‑form travel videos you already watch. Instead of losing saved clips and screenshots, you start with a Japanese city and see curated places for that city. Each place shows a real creator video, the address, categories like Coffee & Food or Nightlife, and simple actions like “Get directions” and “Add to itinerary”. Start with Japanese cities : • Choose from cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Hiroshima, Kanazawa and more (with additional countries coming soon) • See hand‑picked cafés, bars, viewpoints, street food, and hidden alleys for each city • Filter quickly by categories such as Coffee & Food, Bars, Adventure, Hidden Gems, Nightlife, Street Art, and more See the vibe before you go : • Watch TikTok travel videos for each spot without leaving the app • Check what a place really looks and feels like before you decide to visit • Open the location directly in Maps for step‑by‑step directions Build simple day‑by‑day itineraries: • Create an itinerary with a name, city, and start / end dates • Add places to specific days (Day 1, Day 2, etc.) so you know exactly where you’re going and when • Add personal notes inside the itinerary, such as what time you went, who you went with, or tips you want to remember • Rate places inside LocalLence after you visit them See everything on a map: • View all the places for a city on a single map • Understand distance between spots at a glance • Tap any pin to open the place details, video, and actions Save what matters: • Bookmark your favourite places so you don’t lose them • Quickly revisit saved spots from the Saved tab when planning your days Your travel profile: • See how many places you’ve discovered so far • Track how many cities you’ve explored and itineraries you’ve created • Unlock fun badges as you discover more locations across Japan LocalLence is built by a solo founder and traveller from India who was tired of losing TikTok travel spots in camera rolls and notes. It’s for anyone planning trips in Japan from creator videos who wants a clean list, map, and itinerary they can actually follow. We’re starting with Japan and will add more countries and cities over time.
