If you ask my loved ones to describe me, two of the things that you’d hear from everyone without fail are that I love to travel and that I have a packed social schedule. Through years of international living and travel, I’ve noticed that it can be difficult to have the foresight – or ability – to record your favorite spots when you stumble across them. On the flip side, after over two decades in the same town, I struggle with finding places I’m excited to go when I want to have a night on the town with friends. Glintter – a simple, practical, and cooperative address book and social network that lets you share locations (with pictures!) through a simple and playful UI – sets out to solve both those issues.

 

 

• Save & Organize Your Addresses – The app allows you to add your favorite addresses, so if you unexpectedly come across a great place but lack time to drop in, you can save it to discover later. Glintter also lets you organize your addresses based on categories.
• Share Your Discoveries – Share all your great finds – that unconventional restaurant, that secret bar, that stunning boutique – or discover those gold nuggets from friends, family, and peers.
• Invite Your Friends – Organize an gathering with your friends ahead of time, or throw together an event on the spot. Share your favorite places with your friends and create unforgettable memories. The app lets you choose an address, write a quick invitation, and select guests from your contact list. Then, you can follow their reply and chat in real-time.
• Explore While Traveling – Taking a trip, and hope to explore those local gems? Glintter has got you covered. The app lets you discover your local friends’ best addresses and share new spots you found in exchange, and even add points of interest before you leave in order to return to them more easily. Glintter even lets you add data when you’re sans internet connection – the app will synch it as soon as possible.
