About Chiru.
Your friends know the best coffee spots. Now you can find them. Chiru is a coffee app built around trust. Not star ratings from people you’ve never met — real signals from the people you follow. Discover cafes worth going to When a friend has been somewhere twice, saved it, or called it a must-visit, Chiru shows you. The map surfaces what your network actually recommends, with plain-language context like “3 friends went” or “Mia keeps coming back.” No mysterious scores, no filler reviews. Log your coffee life in seconds Check in with a photo or skip the camera entirely — a one-tap check-in works just as well. Chiru captures the moment without making it feel like filling out a form. Build a coffee passport worth keeping Your profile becomes a visual archive of everywhere you’ve been: organized by month, searchable at a glance, and rewarding to revisit. Monthly recap cards show your unique cafes, repeat spots, and favorite coffee intentions — whether or not anyone else has seen them yet. Practical signals, not just vibes Need to work for two hours? Wondering if the espresso is actually good? Chiru tracks what your friends say about outlets, noise, time limits, and what’s worth ordering — so you can make a real decision before you walk in the door.

Share your check-ins anywhere You can now share any check-in as a link — paste it into Threads, Messages, or anywhere else. Recipients see the photos, note, and cafe right in their browser, no app needed. Tap the paperplane icon in any post to share. Cafe and profile pages are now fully public on the web too. Share a cafe or your profile and people will see the real content at chiru.nl. Other improvements - Share icon moved to the post action row on all screens — consistent across feed, cafe detail, and profile - Heart and comment icons are now bolder and stay in place when counts change - Tapping the comment or heart button now has a satisfying press animation and haptic feedback - Fixed a bug where non-anonymous users appeared as "Anonymous" on shared links
