【Leave memos around town】

As you walk, add a memo to a card that catches your attention. Save the music you hear. Leave a photo where you found something interesting.

When you return someday, you can look back and see those moments as if they happened yesterday.

【Let the Scouter bring local discoveries to you】

Inside Topo is the Scouter, whose job is to observe changes around town and bring you interesting local discoveries.

Answer a quick question left by the Scouter. Share one of your memos with the neighborhood. Each action is small, but to Topo, it becomes a signal of what catches your attention.

When you think, “I want to explore this neighborhood today,” or “It’s my first time here—where can I take a break?”, the Scouter uses those signals to observe the area and bring back discoveries that may matter to you.

【More ways to interact with your town】

■ Create a card in just four taps — no typing required

Take a photo, and AI can turn what you see and feel into words. Hear a song? Use Shazam right inside Topo to create a Music Memo in seconds. Keep walking without breaking your rhythm, and leave the things that catch your attention right where you find them.

■ Public for only 72 hours. No followers. No viral sharing.

When you make one of your memos public, it is shared only within 500 meters of that location and automatically becomes private again after 72 hours.

No follower counts, no pressure to go viral, and no need to worry about leaving a permanent digital footprint. Just leave the small things you notice around town, at your own pace. Even if you usually only read social media, Topo is designed to make sharing feel easy.

■ Connect across languages

Public cards are automatically translated by AI into English and Traditional Chinese. A small discovery from your neighborhood can reach travelers and people interested in the area, regardless of language.

■ Your privacy comes first

AI features for writing and translation use Apple Intelligence. You can use them securely with your Apple Account and take part in the town without making your personal information public.

Leave what you notice around town without having to reveal who you are.
