Stash and share recommendations from your friends
That recommendation buried in your group chat? It deserves better.
You know the one. A friend mentioned an incredible doctor, a contractor who actually showed up, a restaurant worth the wait, the sweater you'll want to wear on repeat. You liked the message. Then it disappeared.
Parlor is the recommendation app where those referrals go instead.
It's a private vault for the recommendations that matter — built around your real contacts, not strangers on the internet. Save what your friends recommend. Share your own finds. Browse what your trusted network is saving right now.
THE PROBLEM WITH EVERY OTHER OPTION
The web shows you strangers or ads. Review sites reward volume over trust. Your WhatsApp or text group buries the best local recommendations under hundreds of messages you'll never find again. Parlor gives trusted, word-of-mouth referrals a permanent, searchable home — always from someone you actually know, never from a stranger with an agenda.
POWERED BY AI
Parlor uses AI to do the heavy lifting. Snap a photo of a business card, paste a screenshot of a group chat, record a voice note, or drop in a URL — Parlor reads it and automatically extracts the name, contact info, category, and notes so you don't have to type a thing. Add any recommendation in under 30 seconds. Search your saved recs in plain English — "Italian restaurants my friends love" or "best trainer near me" — and Parlor finds exactly what you're looking for. Smart, fast, and built to keep up with how recommendations actually travel.
EVERY RECOMMENDATION, ORGANIZED
• Restaurants, bars, coffee shops & local dining
• Doctors, specialists, OBGYNs, dermatologists, therapists & mental health providers
• Home services — contractors, plumbers, electricians, painters & handymen
• Beauty — aestheticians, med spa, skincare, hair, nail care & makeup artists
• Fitness — personal trainers, pilates studios, yoga, gyms & running clubs
• Kids — babysitters, nannies, camps, tutors, pediatricians & family activities
• Books — what your circle is reading and thinks you should read next
• Podcasts & shows — what friends are listening to and watching right now
• Travel — hotels, restaurants abroad, local guides & experiences worth saving
• Products & clothing — everyday finds, brands and things friends swear by
• Services — pet care, home cleaning, organizing, catering & more
• Things to do — events, activities, museums & entertainment
YOUR PRIVATE RECOMMENDATION NETWORK
Parlor is a private social network built on your real contacts — not followers, not strangers, not bots. No paid placements. No one gaming the system. If someone's in your phone, they can be in your Parlor. Your trusted network is visible only to the contacts you choose to connect with. Every referral comes with a name you recognize attached to it.
SHARE ANY REC IN ONE TAP
When a friend asks for a good dentist, a reliable house cleaner, or the best pilates studio nearby, you'll have the answer ready — full card with contact info and notes — sent directly from the app. No more digging through old texts to find that restaurant recommendation from six months ago. Word of mouth, upgraded.
PARLOR IS BUILT FOR
• Parents who need trusted referrals for doctors, babysitters, tutors and kids' activities
• Renters and homeowners who want reliable local contractors and service providers
• Professionals new to a city who want real local recommendations from a trusted network
• Adults who want a private wishlist of recs to save, organize and share with friends
• People who've tried every review site and just want to know what their friends actually use
• Anyone tired of losing great recommendations in a group chat
The best referral you ever got came from someone who knew you. Parlor makes sure you never lose one.
Awesome app to reference recommendations from friends!

Finally I have a place to store all my group chat messages with recommendations I want to try or am actively looking for. Instead of hunting deep into group text or email that’s hard to search, I like that I can store cards in My Parlor vault to easily find anytime. Also saves me time on my favorite contractors and doctors I’m always sharing with my friends so I don’t have to retype the details each time.
What I’ve been missing!

Finally a place to store all the recommendations I get in texts and at dinners with friends. The app can store recs in almost any category. Really easy to add them. I just uploaded a screenshot of my text thread and it auto populated. Also like that I can share my recommendations with friends, gives them all the info they need.
Love Parlor to share recommendations!

I can never find the answer to that question my friend asked 6 months ago in the group chat. Now I can easily save in Parlor and share again. The AI tools make it easy to upload a screenshot of our text conversation or use voice-to-text in live conversations.
Perfect to save good recommendations

This app makes it so easy to add recommendations that friends have given me. I can such take a screenshot of a text. Or add a website link. Also love browsing what my friends have saved. And so nice it’s from people I actually know, not random people on the internet
