by you, for you.

less noise. more you.

Every other recommendation platform was built for everyone. chequin is different — one home for every place you've discovered, saved, and loved, powered by an algorithm that actually knows you.

The way we find places
is completely broken.

The broken workflow

You find something on TikTok. You screenshot it. You switch to Google Maps to locate it. You re-save it there. You lose the original context. By the time you're actually deciding where to go tonight, you can't find it, can't remember why you saved it, or can't trust it's still good. Three apps later, you go to the same place you always go.

The trust problem

Online reviews are written for everyone, which means they're useful to no one in particular. A 4.5-star rating tells you a lot of people thought it was fine. It tells you nothing about whether you will love it. You've learned to cross-reference, ask friends, read between the lines — and you still walk out of places wondering how it had so many stars.

The memory problem

You had a meal that made you want to move to that city. You have no idea what the restaurant was called. It happened two years ago and it's gone. Some of your best discoveries are somewhere in a notes app, a text thread, or a screenshot folder you'll never look at again.

What chequin is

AI tells you what's generally good.
chequin tells you what's good for you.
And unlike AI — it remembers.

🗂

One home for everything you've found

From the TikTok you saved last week to the place a friend texted you two years ago — all in one place, finally organized. chequin closes the loop from the moment of discovery to the moment you walk in.

🧠

An algorithm curated by your taste profile

The more you use chequin, the sharper it gets. Not trained on what everyone else likes — trained entirely on you. Where you go, what you love, what you actually seek out. Your algorithm, built by you.

🔍

Smart filters for what actually matters

Dog-friendly. Food-forward. Vibe over everything. Locally loved. Not a tourist trap. Great natural wine. Work-friendly. Filter by the things that make or break your night out — not just neighborhood and price range.

How you discover places says more about you than you think.

Answer 7 quick questions and find out which chequin type you are — and which pain point we built this for.

Before we start — how often are you actively looking for new restaurants, bars, or coffee shops?

chequin might not be for right now.

You're a Researcher.

We need one thing before we show you what that means — and how chequin was built for exactly this.

What's coming

This is just the beginning.

Phase 1 is about finding the people chequin was built for. What comes next is where it gets personal — and then city by city, it goes live.

Import your saves

Pull everything you've already saved — across Instagram, TikTok, Google Maps — into one place. Sort what you've visited from what you still want to try. The mess becomes a map.

Build your taste profile

Every place you chequin, every tag you apply, every smart filter you use teaches the algorithm something real about you. Not a survey. Not a star rating. Your actual behavior.

chequin goes live — city by city

When a city's trust graph reaches critical density, discovery turns on. The first city goes first, then the next — each one unlocked by the community that built it.

The earlier you join, the more you shape it.

The founding community

The people who join now
shape what this becomes.

chequin is being built city by city, community first. The first people in aren't users — they're the founding layer that makes the recommendations worth having. Your chequins seed the algorithm. Your taste shapes what comes next. Your city goes first.

No spam. One email when your city goes live.

You're in.

We'll reach out when your city is ready. In the meantime — take the quiz above if you haven't yet.
