tipit is a map made of your friends' tips. No star ratings, no sponsored posts, no strangers — just places worth your time, shared by people who know you.
Social networks stopped being social. Facebook barely shows you your friends anymore. Instagram is wall-to-wall veneers, hair transplants and the same six lives on repeat. TikTok — we're not even going there.
And let's be honest: it's entertaining. It had better be. The mechanism is simple: four forgettable videos, one hit of adrenaline, an ad, repeat. You never know which swipe pays out, so you keep swiping. That's not content. That's a slot machine.
Every rating site averages the opinions of a million strangers. tipit does the opposite: it only shows you places recommended by people you actually know and trust.
A tip on tipit carries weight because of who sent it — your friend who knows coffee, your cousin who lives in the neighbourhood, that one person who is never wrong about restaurants.
You follow people, not influencers. Your map fills up with their favourite spots. That's it. No algorithm deciding what you see, no business paying to appear first.
Every pin on your map comes from someone you follow. Zoom into a city and see it through your friends' eyes.
A secret tip, priced by its author. Unlock the really good stuff with credits — the finder earns their share.
Some pins keep their secrets. You can see a secret tip exists on the map — the content stays locked until you unlock it.
Ephemeral tips for pop-ups, markets and one-night finds. They count down on the map, then disappear.
Choose who sees each tip, blur exact locations, and get a warning before posting anything too close to home.
Collect tips into lists — a coffee crawl, a weekend in the Pyrenees — and share them with the people who'll love them.
Every tip has an audience — you set it when you post, and you can change it any time.
Proud of a find? Make it public and let anyone discover it on the map.
Keep it between you and the people you follow. The cosy default.
Build custom lists: the family album stays in the family, and your football crew gets the post-match bar tips — just them.
