Knit is like a scavenger hunt app where you can leave secret messages for friends and family that will only be unveiled when they reach a specific location.
With the app, it's possible to leave someone a love note or thank you note that will be received when passing by a certain place, drawing from a place of significance that will hopefully conjure up a good memory. As well as being great for encouraging others to explore the city as you have, the app is practical for leaving restaurant recommendations that a friend may enjoy. Since there's a lot of world to explore, the app also keeps track of the notes that have been found by friends, so that you can be sure they've been located.
