Topo App: Connecting You with Your City's Now

On April 24, 2026, TOPOS TECH LLC launched its new city social sharing app, Topo, in the App Store. Designed to tackle modern-day issues of social media fatigue, it offers a refreshing take on connectivity in urban environments. Users can experience “Now” within a 500-meter radius, as Topo allows for real-time information exchange about local happenings.

The Unique Features of Topo

1. Real-Time Updates from Your Location
By simply opening the app, you can receive real-time updates about your immediate surroundings. Users can also navigate the map to discover information from different areas easily. Plus, with our four-tap posting feature that includes photo uploads, everyone can become an observer of their local environment.

2. Ephemeral Content for Special Moments
Posts on Topo vanish after three days, meaning that the information shared is unique to that moment. This temporal nature adds an exclusive value to real-time updates, shaping the “now” and emphasizing the significance of fleeting information.

3. Deepen Your Connection with Your City
Our user ranking system rewards those who contribute more content. As you share experiences, you can climb the ranks and eventually become a “City Guardian.” Far from being competitive, this system encourages collective growth and enhancement of city life.

4. Town Forecast
Topo operates “Town Forecast,” providing daily reports on the emotional and physical well-being of eight major cities in Japan. This innovative feature captures and compiles the city’s mood, presenting a unique perspective on urban living. The forecasts can also be accessed online for free.

Advanced AI Features for Ease and Privacy

While delivering a novel user experience, Topo prioritizes privacy through its innovative use of AI technology.

• - The “No Typing” Posting Experience: Leveraging Apple’s personal intelligence system, users can simply snap a photo, select emotions via emojis, and let AI convert it into a post – all within four taps, ensuring uninterrupted exploration of the city.
• - Automatic Multilingual Translation: All public cards are auto-translated into Japanese, English, and Traditional Chinese, promoting inclusive sharing of urban experiences regardless of language barriers.
• - On-device AI Processing: All AI operations are conducted on users’ devices, ensuring that no data is transmitted or stored externally, enhancing user privacy.

Privacy-Centric Design

Topos’ architecture ensures that users can safely share their local experiences without compromising personal information. For instance:

• - No Need for Personal Information: Users can create accounts without providing identifiable data like email addresses or passwords.
• - Anonymity in Location Data: While location tracking is essential for functionality, users’ identities are not inferable from their data. We focus on what happens in a location, not who is sharing it.
• - Content Protection: Only publicly shared “city cards” are accessible to all users, preserving the confidentiality of personal posts.

Golden Week Launch Campaign

To celebrate the app’s release, Topo is hosting a campaign during Golden Week from April 29 to May 6, 2026. This campaign is aimed at engaging the public to become city observers and information sharers. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the event and experience the joys of sharing and receiving local insights.

• - User Rank Boosting: In the eight cities, users can earn double the rank points for sharing during the campaign, allowing newcomers to ascend swiftly to “Guide” or “Guardian” ranks.
• - Promotional Card Extensions: During the campaign period, special cards that meet specific criteria can have their visibility extended from 3 days to 10 days and their radius from 500m to 2km, promoting a broader reach.

Future Plans and Opportunities

Topos aims to expand its features further, including paid plans for businesses to extend their card visibility. Additionally, local forecasts based on accumulated nationwide data will be available for new business proposals.
