Yaay is a travel map and trip planner that turns Instagram and TikTok videos into pins on your own map. Share any video to Yaay, and Yaay identifies the place shown and adds it to your map automatically - no typing, no copying links. Saw a night market on TikTok? A beach a friend posted? Save the video to Yaay. Every save becomes a pin, so you see all your places at once and build a real itinerary instead of a spreadsheet. WHAT IS YAAY? Yaay is a visual trip planner and saved-places map for travelers who discover places on social media. Short video is where travel inspiration lives now, but the place behind it gets lost in a Saved folder you never reopen. Yaay extracts the location and stores it as a searchable map pin with the original clip attached - for your hometown and for trips abroad. Yaay is a free native iOS app for iPhone and iPad, available in 10 languages. HOW YAAY WORKS 1. See it - find any restaurant, bar, beach or neighborhood on Instagram or TikTok. 2. Save it - tap Share, then Yaay. One tap, no typing. 3. Yaay finds it - Yaay analyzes the video to identify the place and drops a pin on your map. If it looks wrong, fix it in one tap. 4. Plan it - organize saves into Collections by city or trip. Add notes, hide or re-add places, switch between Map and List views. 5. Share it - share a Collection with friends and shape the plan together. EVERY SAVE LANDS ON YOUR MAP No more screenshots and scattered links. Each save becomes a searchable pin carrying the place name, map location, and original video. Build a "want to try" list for your own city, or save three spots in Vietnam and watch a real itinerary start to form. WHO USES YAAY • People saving restaurants and cafes to try this weekend near home • Travelers turning TikTok saves into a visual itinerary for Japan, Italy or Vietnam • Groups planning a trip where everyone adds their finds to one shared Collection • Anyone keeping travel inspiration organized without spreadsheets YAAY VS SAVING SOMEWHERE ELSE Saving to Instagram or your camera roll keeps the video but loses the location. No map, no itinerary. Saving to a maps list or spreadsheet gives you a list, but you type every entry manually and lose the video. Saving to Yaay keeps both. The location is found for you, every save is a pin, and pins become shareable Collections you can shape into a trip. FEATURES • Save any public Instagram or TikTok video through the iOS share sheet • Automatic place recognition from video, correctable in one tap • Review flow to quickly keep, hide or fix places (new in v3.0.7) • Collections for each city or trip, with Map and List views • Public Collections and Profiles with QR sharing, optional FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What app saves TikTok and Instagram videos to a map? Yaay saves any public TikTok or Instagram video and pins the place it shows on your map, so you can build itineraries from videos you already watch. How do I turn saved reels into a travel itinerary? Share the reel to Yaay. Yaay identifies the place, pins it, and you group pins into a Collection for that city or trip. The Collection becomes your itinerary. Do I have to type the location myself? No. Tap Share, then Yaay. Yaay identifies the place from the video, and any pin can be corrected in one tap. Can I use Yaay for my own city? Yes. Many people use Yaay as a hometown "want to try" list for restaurants and spots, plus Collections for upcoming trips. Can I plan a trip with friends? Yes. Collections can be shared, so everyone adds their finds to one map and shapes the plan together. Is Yaay free? Yes. Yaay is free to download on iPhone and iPad. How is Yaay different from saving inside Instagram? Instagram keeps the video in a folder. Yaay turns that same video into a map pin and a shareable trip collection, so the save becomes a plan. Turn saved reels into real plans. Download Yaay and see your TikTok and Instagram saves on a map, ready to shape into your next trip.
