What if your scrolling wasn't wasted time? Every spot that stopped your scroll -- the hidden garden cafe, the speakeasy tucked behind a bookshop -- that was research. Now do something with it. Plotline turns your feed into a map you can actually use. Curate your spots, plan your trips, and watch your taste come to life. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE Share a travel post, a restaurant review, a Google Maps link -- Plotline grabs the location, photos, and details automatically. Works with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Google Maps, travel blogs, and more! Other apps give you a pin. Plotline gives you the story -- the original creator's recommendation, what to order, why it matters, and the source video linked so you can rewatch it before you go. PLAN YOUR TRIP WITH YOUR FRIENDS (AUTO-MAGICALLY) Turn your saved spots into a real itinerary. Have us instantly build day-by-day plans with YOUR saved places or manually create itineraries your way. Invite your travel crew to plan trips together! Everyone can add and edit places, live. Drag and drop your places into the order that makes sense, and see your whole trip laid out before you leave. Your pins become your plan. ASK PLOTLINE: SEARCH BY VIBE You saved that cafe for the vibe, not the name. Now find it the same way. Ask in your own words -- "a cozy cafe to work from," "an aesthetic photo spot," "cheap eats open now" -- and Plotline pins the best matches from your saves and the community on your map, each with a quick note on why it made the cut. Included with Plotline Premiere. TRENDING HOT SPOTS See what others are saving wherever you're going. Whether it's Anthony Bourdain's favorite döner spot, or the historic bookshop overlooking the castle -- see what's actually worth the hype with highlighted places in every city and 'tips from the community' to show you exactly what to order, how much it costs, or any other tips that you need to know. SIDEQUESTS Don't have a trip planned? Plotline builds one for you. Pick a city, swipe through spots -- your saves or places matched to your vibe -- and Plotline turns your favorites into a route for a day trip or an evening out. Spontaneous adventure without the decision fatigue. YOUR MAP, YOUR TASTE Browse your saved spots by city. Filter by eat, brew, sip, vibe, explore, or go. See everything across collections, saved cities, and references in one place. Track where you've been and what's still waiting. MAKE IT YOURS Add personal notes to any spot. Organize into collections by trip, city, or theme. Share collections with friends who are tired of asking "where should we eat?" WHO IS PLOTLINE FOR? You save more travel posts than you'll ever scroll back to find. You don't just want to know where -- you want to remember what to order, why it's special, and how to get there. You travel on taste, not templates. A 5-star rating is not enough. You need to know the vibe. If your saved folder is a graveyard of forgotten recommendations, Plotline turns it into your next trip. Your feed was never just content. It was the first chapter. Plotline helps you write the rest. Privacy Policy: https://getplotline.app/privacy Terms of Service: https://getplotline.app/terms
