the best dinner of the whole trip
Your friends have alreadybeen to the best places.
You just can’t search them. Beenlist makes the recommendations you actually trust — from the people you actually know — searchable for the first time.
Everywhere and nowhere
The recommendation you wanted is in here somewhere.
A screenshot from a group text. A saved Reel you can’t find. A note from a trip two years ago. The best travel advice you’ll ever get already lives in your phone — scattered across apps that were never built to organize it, from people who were never trying to sell you anything.
Yelp and TripAdvisor give you strangers. Instagram and TikTok give you inspiration with no way to search it. Beenlist gives you the one thing missing: the people you trust, in one place, searchable.
Omg you HAVE to go to that little seafood place by the water in Comporta 🦞

The shift
Trust, not crowds.
Beenlist is a network where you log the places you’ve been and search across the places your friends have been — filtered by who they are (“my foodie friends,” “the family that travels constantly”) or where they went. Every result tells you exactly who recommended it and what they said.
Think Spotify playlists — but for places.
Why it gets better
The more your people use it, the more it knows.
Every place your friends add, every recommendation you save, every “ask Sarah about this” teaches Beenlist who you trust and what you love. It doesn’t get louder. It gets more yours.
We’re starting small, in Austin, on purpose.
We’re starting with fifty founding members in Austin to seed the first circles, then growing the way trust does: by invitation, one circle at a time. A network built on trust can’t be crowdsourced — it has to be seeded by people who actually know each other. If that sounds like your group, there’s room.
