Find Common Ground

Common Ground helps you save your favourite places, plan outings, and find spots you and your friends both love. PLACE MATCH Can't decide where to go? Share your saved places with a friend using a simple 6-letter code. You each rate every place — Must Go, Open to It, or Skip — and the app builds the best route from spots you both agree on. No more endless "where should we eat?" texts. HOW IT WORKS 1. Save places — search Apple Maps, share from Google Maps, or let the app detect visits automatically 2. Place Match — share a code with a friend, rate each other's picks, get a matched route 3. Trip Packs — start from curated destination plans, save the places, and ask questions about the trip 4. Plan — pick stops, build an optimized route, share it as a story card or send it to a friend 5. Go — open in Apple Maps or share the plan with your group TRIP PACKS Start from ready-made plans for a destination, beginning with Bali. Save curated places into My Places, add day plans to Planner, and ask trip-specific questions like which day is best for sunset, what to do first, what to book ahead, or how to shorten the itinerary.
