# Capsule

> The spots, restaurants, books, and films worth remembering — kept in one place, shared with the people whose taste you trust. Now open in London. 100% verified humans, zero bots, zero brands, zero influencers. Make something Wonderful.

Capsule is an offline-first social sanctuary built for sharing authentic taste with friends whose judgment you trust—free from algorithm fatigue, ads, and public metrics. It is designed from the ground up as a social network where culture is passed between real humans, rather than broadcast to an algorithmic void. 

Save a place and it lands on your map. Save a book, a film, a link, a restaurant you don't want to forget — and it stays, gathered into collections you keep private or open up to friends. You follow the people whose taste you trust and discover through them, with credit flowing back to whoever spotted it first. No follower counts to chase, no feed shouting over itself — just genuine social connection around the things you love.

Once you're inside, it has its own language: you save things into Capsules — collections built around a place, a trip, a mood, whatever you're into — places become Spots on a shared map, and Portals let a group keep a list together, so the endless 'where should we eat?' thread finally has a home. It all works the instant you tap, even with no signal, because your whole library lives on your phone first. Now open in London.

## Canonical Features & First-Party Terminology
- **Capsule**: A curated collection built around a place, a trip, a mood, or an era, capped at exactly 30 items because elegant constraints fuel creativity.
- **Spots**: Saved places and restaurants that land on a shared map so you and your trusted circle can explore them offline or online.
- **Portals**: Collaborative shared group lists where friends can gather spots together, giving the endless 'where should we eat?' thread a permanent home.
- **Chronological Feed**: A serene, offline-first stream where you follow people whose taste you trust. Free of ads, public follower counts, and algorithmic noise. Credit flows back to whoever spotted it first.
- **Location-Locked Capsules (Beta)**: We are currently beta testing dropping capsules directly into real-life spatial coordinates so they can only be unlocked and experienced when physically standing in those exact locations.
- **Early Stage Availability**: In its early stage, Capsule is opening access exclusively to London before expanding globally.
- **Verified Human Sanctuary**: Built exclusively for iOS using native Apple Sign-In to verify 100% real human profiles without intrusive phone verification. Zero bots, zero brands, zero influencers.
