You see a great café on Instagram. A hidden temple on TikTok. A restaurant a friend posted to their Story. You screenshot it, tap save, and move on. Three months later, when you finally plan the trip, those places are gone, buried in a camera roll you can't search. Trip Pocket sits between the post you saved and the trip you actually take. It keeps every place in one spot and turns it into something you can use. THE AI PART Share an Instagram or TikTok post into Trip Pocket. Or a screenshot. Or any photo from your camera roll. The AI doesn't stop at the caption. It reads the photos, every slide of a carousel, and the video, so it catches the places other apps skip. For each one it finds the venue on Google and gives you a photo, a short description, the address, and a button straight to Maps. That three-month-old screenshot turns back into "oh right, the little bakery I wanted to try." PLAN BY THE DAY When you're ready to plan, open a trip and sort your places into days. Each day draws its own numbered route on the map, so the three cafés that turn out to be one street apart are obvious and you can plan around them instead of crossing town four times. Not sure of the order? Tap Optimise and Trip Pocket sorts that day's stops by distance. You pick the places; no AI deciding where you should go, that part is still yours. Tap any pin for the photo and description. LISTS Not everything is a trip yet. Keep loose collections in lists the way you actually think about them: "Tokyo coffee", "ramen I have to try", "someday Italy". A place can sit in a list and on a trip at the same time. WHAT YOU GET • Share Instagram and TikTok posts, screenshots from Photos, or anything in your camera roll. One extra tap. • The AI reads captions, photos, every carousel slide, and video. Restaurants, cafés, temples, hikes, viewpoints, shops. Posts in Japanese, Korean, and Thai work too. • Each place gets a real photo, a description, an address, and a one-tap Maps link. • Plan trips a day at a time: drag to reorder, see each day's color-coded pins and route on the map, and tap Optimise to sort by distance. • Keep collections in lists alongside your trips. A place can live in both. • Search by place name, neighborhood, country, or even the text from the original screenshot. • Free to use. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited posts, places, trips, and lists, with no caps and no waiting to add the next one. • Sign in with Apple to sync your places, lists, and trips across your devices. No password, and your real email stays private. • Works offline once saved, so you can browse everything when you're abroad with no signal. WHO IT'S FOR People who plan trips from things they saw online. Digital nomads collecting cities. Anyone with 200 "I'll find it later" screenshots they'll never dig back through. PRICING Trip Pocket is free to use. Save places, plan trips day by day, see them on the map, and sync across your devices, all without paying. Trip Pocket Pro removes the limits: • Unlimited AI extractions • Unlimited trips, lists, and places Pro starts with a 7-day free trial. One plan, no add-ons, no ads. PRIVACY You sign in with Apple, so there's no password and your real email stays private. Your places sync through Trip Pocket's own service across every device you use, and you can delete your account and all its data anytime from Settings. We don't show ads, sell your data, or train AI on what you save. Privacy policy: https://trippocket.app/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ FROM US Trip Pocket is an indie app. We built it because we kept losing screenshots in our own camera rolls.
