03 / a few ways to begin
what will you remember today?
a coffee break
save the light on your table in a photo. remember the place when you return to that day.
the song of a walk
leave a song that belongs to this street. someone else can discover it here.
a sentence just for you
save a thought with “only me”. a moment doesn’t need an audience to matter.
04 / your choice
you don’t have to share.
let everyone discover your trace or keep it to yourself with “only me”. a conversation starts only after a message request is sent and the other person accepts.
a shared trace’s location and content may reveal where you have been. iz does not guarantee anonymity or that your location stays private.
