How it works
Every new city means hours of blogs, top-ten lists and reviews. CityMusts does that research for you.
It knows the city on the map and lists its must-sees, its must-dos and the local dishes to try. Outside cities, it covers the area nearby.
Places are numbered from the most important, each with how long a visit takes and whether it's free.
Tap a place's number to mark it done. It turns gray on the map, and the city's card counts what you've done.
Features

Privacy
CityMusts needs to know a city, not you.
Lists are made for the city on the map or, outside a city, an area of about 5 km, never for your exact location.
There's nothing to sign up for, no analytics, and nothing follows you across apps or websites.
The first time you ask about a place, CityMusts tells you where questions go, and sends nothing until you continue.
The places you tick off and the scripts you save are stored only on your device.
