What is Heard?
Discovery shaped by you and the people you trust.
Heard is a social discovery app that helps you find places to eat, drink and spend time without getting lost in endless lists.
It learns what you enjoy, listens to recommendations from trusted friends, your Critics, and considers what is happening around you. Heard then turns those signals into clear, personal suggestions that make deciding where to go feel simple.
Whether you are planning a date, meeting friends or looking for something nearby, Heard helps the group choose, organize the plan and remember the places worth returning to.

Design philosophy
Familiar at first touch.
Distinctly Heard.
Heard is designed to get out of the way of a good decision. Warm color signals guide attention, glass-like layers preserve context, and expressive typography gives every moment a little personality without sacrificing clarity.
