Introducing narby: Our Geo-Location App

We're excited to announce the beta release of narby, our innovative geo-location app designed to improve quality of life by tracking visits, rewarding healthy choices, and alerting users about businesses that align with their values.

What is narby?

narby is a geo-location based app that improves the quality of life for its users. You can choose to use it individually or join/create a group with shared values and goals.

The app tracks how often you visit certain locations, deducting points for frequent visits to places like fast food restaurants and rewarding points for healthy activities like going to the gym. Its built-in AI provides personalized feedback, suggests healthy alternatives nearby, and alerts you when entering businesses that don't align with your values.

Our app is designed with a focus on:

• Health Improvement: Encouraging healthier choices through a points-based system
• Value Alignment: Helping users support businesses that match their personal or group values
• Community: Enabling group accountability and shared goals
• Personalization: Learning from user input to provide increasingly relevant suggestions

narby offers several innovative features that set it apart from other location-based apps:

• Points-Based System: Earn points for healthy choices and lose points for unhealthy ones, with customizable goals and values.
• Individual or Group Use: Use the app individually or create/join groups with shared values and goals for accountability.
• Value-Aligned Shopping: Receive alerts about businesses that align with your values, such as Black-owned businesses or eco-friendly stores.

Privacy and Control

• Local Processing: Much of the app's intelligence runs locally on your device
• Transparent Data Usage: Clear explanations of how your data is used and stored
• User Control: Complete control over what data is shared and with whom
