Pin every place you want to visit, build a personal travel map, and turn scattered recommendations into a trip plan you can actually use. Markmark helps you save a place from your current location, a point on the map, GPS data in a photo, or a public share link. Keep the name, address, category, notes, photos and videos together, then find everything again from your collection or the map. KEY FEATURES • Save in several ways: current location, map selection, photo GPS or a Markmark share image • Create, reorder and filter custom categories • Browse all saved places on a map and search for new ones • Add notes, photos and videos to each place • Open directions in Apple Maps, Amap or Baidu Maps when available • Create a QR share image for a place • Export and restore a local backup Markmark is local-first and does not require an account. Your collection is stored on your device, so export a backup before deleting the app or changing devices. MADE FOR PLACES YOU DO NOT WANT TO LOSE • Keep a restaurant from a social post together with its address and your own notes • Turn photo locations into a personal travel record instead of leaving them buried in the camera roll • Collect sights, cafés, shops, hotels and future trip ideas by category • Return to a saved place from the map and open directions when it is time to go HOW MARKMARK WORKS 1. Add a place from your location, the map, a photo, a QR share image or a supported public link. 2. Review the detected details, choose a category and add the notes or media you want to remember. 3. Browse your collection or map later, then navigate to or share the place. YOUR COLLECTION, YOUR CONTEXT A pin alone is easy to forget. Markmark keeps the useful context around it: why you saved it, which category it belongs to, what it looked like and where it is. Reorder categories and filter the collection to keep a growing list manageable.
