FEATURES • Map + list of 80+ NYC gay bars, by neighborhood • Sort by distance to what's closest right now • One-tap check-ins and drink logging (today or any past day) • A calendar history of your nights out • Personal stats: favorite bar, top drink, biggest night, longest streak • Neighborhood progress bars — how much of the city have you hit? • 30 unlockable badges to chase • Optional Friends: share a check-in with exactly the friends you choose — they see it in their Tonight feed, with per-friend controls over who gets yours • Beautiful, fast, native design PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your drink log stays on your iPhone — no account, no sign-up, no tracking, no third-party servers. Friends is optional, runs on your iCloud, uses invite codes instead of a directory, and only shares a check-in when you tap the button.
