Serendipity, But Smart

Designed for curious wanderers who love uncovering hidden gems without turning travel into project management.

Save places beautifully

Save Places Beautifully

Send a spot from Apple Maps or Google Maps, or let your AI agent gather a stack of ideas. You swipe to keep the ones that feel like a yes.

A Tap on the Shoulder

Turn listening on, then put the phone away. When you wander near a saved place, Side Quests find you. The bookstore. The courtyard. The cafe you saved in January.

Your nearest quest stays on the lock screen: the place, a compass arrow, and how far the detour is. Follow it without breaking stride.

A Stack of Possibilities

Tell your AI agent the kind of day you want. Quiet coffee. A shop that stays open late. A bakery a friend would walk you to. Each idea arrives as a card with a map. Keep it, and it joins the adventure. Pass, and it stays passed.

Your City Has Secrets. We'll Help You Find Them.

Whether you're new in town or a longtime local, Side Quests turns wandering into discovery.

Just Moved to a New City?

The saved folder is overflowing. You walk past wonderful spots and never remember they were on the list.

Gather them once. Share a place from Maps, or let an AI agent turn the pile into a list you swipe through. Side Quests taps you on the shoulder when you happen to be near.

Traveling Between Coffee Shops?

You're always in a new neighborhood for the next coworking session. Decision fatigue is real when you're hungry and don't know the area.

Save the spots as you hear about them. Between one cafe and the next, a nudge finds you on the walk you were already taking.

Stuck in Your Routine?

You follow all the local food accounts. The "places to try" list keeps growing. Weekends arrive and you end up at the same spots again.

Turn that growing list into a string of small adventures. Run your errands. Side Quests remembers the places you meant to try and catches you when the path goes by.
