An App That Works its Magic in the Background

The best moments happen when you're looking out at the world, not down at a screen. Our app is designed to get you there. Curate your lists of hidden gems, then put your phone away. We'll let you know when adventure is just around the corner.

Curate Your Quests

Found a must-try spot for your upcoming trip? Add it in seconds from Apple Maps or our in-app search. Build your vacation lists at home, then close the app and let the discovery happen organically.

Smart Timing

Get the right nudge at the right time. The brunch spot only reminds you in the morning; the cocktail bar waits until after 5pm. It's that simple.

Wander & Discover

Go about your day. Between the big moments, Side Quests works in the background. You'll get a gentle tap on the shoulder when you're near a saved spot—no pre-determined routes, just spontaneous discovery.

Lock Screen Updates
