rec'd
rec'd is a social discovery app designed to help users find restaurants, bars, and experiences through recommendations from friends and creators they trust. It consolidates scattered bookmarks, screenshots, and notes into a single, personalized feed, eliminating the need to juggle multiple apps or rely on generic review sites. The app learns user tastes over time, using AI to surface relevant suggestions from the user's trusted network. Users can follow favorite creators, collaborate with friends on shared maps and lists, and plan outings together. The platform emphasizes curated, trust-based discovery over noisy feeds and endless scrolling, aiming to simplify the decision-making process for where to go. All saved places are visualized on a beautifully mapped interface, making it easy to see recommendations at a glance. rec'd also offers features for creating shareable collections and finding hidden gems that traditional review platforms might overlook. By leveraging social connections and AI personalization, it turns personal recommendations into a structured, actionable discovery engine.
