Rex was a free iOS app that turned camera-roll photos into shareable place recommendations with playlists and a map view.
Rex, built by New York-based Get Rex, Inc., was a consumer iOS app that used computer vision to mine the photos users had already taken and surface restaurants, bars, and other places worth recommending. Discoveries were organized into shareable playlists and a map view so friends could browse taste, follow one another, and keep a personal atlas of favorite spots.
The app launched out of beta in June 2023 alongside a $3.96M seed round led by Accel with Khosla Ventures and Future Positive participating. In March 2025 the Rex team joined DoorDash through an acquisition and the standalone app was discontinued.
