What it looks like in the app.

Actual screens in English. The app currently supports Korean, English and Japanese.

Captured on October 19, 2026 from a development build at a simulated San Francisco location. Ferry Building is a real public place; notes are fictional planning examples, not a visit review. Onboarding uses the app’s built-in fictional example. Screens may differ slightly from the current version. Map and notification features do not work on this website.
