About Curated.
Curated is for the person everyone asks. Where to eat in Lisbon. What to read after that one. Which hardware store, which dentist, which record. You answer the same way every time, into a text, a DM, a notes app. Curated turns that answer into one list, with your reason beside each pick, at a link that stays current. And if you’re the one asking, it’s where the answer comes from someone who actually knows.
The question you keep answering.
Ask a chef where to eat, a DJ what to play, the friend with a spreadsheet for every city. They’ve answered a hundred times. The answer lives in a group chat from March, a Google Map that needs permission, a highlight nobody scrolls to, a doc with three old versions in circulation. The recommendation was good. The place it lived was not.
Before the feed, finding something good was simple: someone you trusted told you about it. Your sister mentioned a novel. The bookstore owner who knew your taste pulled a book off the shelf. The chef whose menu you loved kept a list of where they ate on their day off. One person, one point of view, one thing worth keeping. That is what Curated is for.
How a list works.
You bring the picks. Curated fills in the details: the cover, the author, the address. Your note stays yours, word for word. Nothing rewrites it.
A list is private until you publish it. Then it has one link. Add a pick next month and the link is still right. Anyone can read it without an account. Readers save the picks they want and follow you for the next list.
Start with what you’ve got. Paste the messy version. Bring your Google Maps list by its link and it stays connected, so a place you save on Saturday shows up here to sort. Bring the export Letterboxd, Goodreads or Spotify gave you. Or tell Claude or ChatGPT: make that a list.
What we won’t do.
No gate. Anyone can make a list. We’re looking for a point of view, not a follower count.
No account to read. Every public list opens in a browser, on any phone.
No rewriting. Your notes are your words. We don’t train AI on them, the providers that fill in details are set not to, and your notes appear nowhere you didn’t publish them.
No lock on your links. Point a pick at the bookshop, the restaurant’s own site, your newsletter. Your link stays your link.
No lock on your lists. Download my lists gives you every list, pick, note, link and photo, whenever you like.
Who makes it.
Curated is made by Mitho Labs, a small team, and operated by Qadri LLC. Write to support@curated.network. A person reads it.
Frequently asked questions.
- What is Curated?
- A home for the things people always recommend: the books they lend, the restaurants they send friends to, the software they use, the people worth following. Each list has one curator and their notes. Read any public list without an account. Sign in to save picks, follow curators and keep your own lists.
- How does it work?
- Start with what you’ve already got: notes, links, a photo, a Google Maps list, a conversation. Curated finds the details; you write the reason. Publish when you’re ready. The link stays the same as the list grows, and readers who saved it see what’s new.
- Who can make a list?
- Anyone with recommendations to share. A bookseller’s reading path, the tools an indie developer uses, your own places to eat. Start with the picks you know and say why each one belongs. Make and edit a list in Curated, or from Claude or ChatGPT after approving access.
- Can I use my own links?
- Yes. Each pick can point where you choose: the shop, the venue, your newsletter. Curated fills in a sensible link when you don’t have one.
- Do I need an app?
- No. Curated is a website, and it works inside Claude and ChatGPT. Public lists open on any phone without an account.
- Can I take my lists somewhere else?
- Yes. Download my lists gives you a zip of every list you made, with picks, notes, links, dates and your photos.
- What happens to my notes?
- They’re yours. We don’t train AI on them and we don’t show them anywhere you didn’t publish them. Delete your account and they go with it.
