Loci is your own map of places to try and places you love. That restaurant a friend raved about. The café you walked past and meant to go back to. The bar someone posted last week. Instead of scattering them across screenshots, notes and lists you never open, Loci puts every one of them on a single map, with your own ratings and notes, so when you're deciding where to go, the answer is already there. BRING YOUR SAVED PLACES WITH YOU Got hundreds of places saved in Google Maps? Export them with Google Takeout and import the file into Loci. Each place is matched to the real venue and lands on your map with your notes. CSV files from other apps work too. EVERYTHING ON ONE MAP • Every saved place is a pin, with its name and your rating at a glance • Tap a pin for the essentials, or open the full page for photos, today's hours, your notes and directions • Open on where you are, or pick up where you left off SAVE IN SECONDS • Search nearby, with ratings, open-now and distance shown up front • Mark it "Been" with a star rating, or "To try" with how keen you are • Tag it your way: brunch, date night, cosy, rooftop, whatever works for you FIND YOUR NEXT SPOT • Filter by status, rating, category and tags • Search your own places by name, area or tag • Group places into lists for trips, birthdays or a weekend away BETTER WITH FRIENDS • Follow friends and see their maps • Share a list with a link, even with friends who don't use Loci yet YOUR TASTE, TAKING SHAPE • See what you save most, how you rate, and your go-to vibes Loci is free, with no ads.
