WhereWe is the shared travel map for the people you explore with. Save every place you’ve been, collect everywhere you want to go, and bring it all together on one beautiful map with your partner, friends, or travel crew. Everyone can add places. Everyone can share memories. Everyone gets to watch your world fill in. SAVE PLACES FROM INSTAGRAM & TIKTOK Found a restaurant in an Instagram Reel or a hidden beach on TikTok? Share the post directly to WhereWe, and we’ll turn it into a ready-to-save map pin with the location and photo. No more forgotten screenshots, lost links, or endless group-chat scrolling. BEEN THERE. WANT TO GO. Organize every place as “Been” or “Want,” so your favorite memories and future plans can live together on the same map. Add photos, personal notes, links, and categories to remember what made each place special—or why you saved it for later. RANK YOUR FAVORITES Say how a place felt, then pick your favorite in quick head-to-head comparisons. WhereWe turns your picks into a score out of 10 and a ranking for every category—from your best meal to your favorite museum.

Plan trips together. Add places to a shared map, invite friends to edit or view, and vote on your favorites together. Everyone sees updates the moment they happen, no sending links back and forth, no one working from an outdated list. Import places from travel videos, social posts, and articles by pasting a link. The app reads through the content, finds every place mentioned, and drops them onto your map as pins automatically. A single TikTok or Instagram Reel about the best food spots in Seoul can populate an entire day's itinerary in seconds. PLAN WITH FRIENDS Every map is a shared workspace. Invite friends, family, or fellow travelers to edit together in real time. Vote on favorite spots, leave notes on individual places, and see each other's additions as they happen. IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE Paste a link to a travel video, social post, or article and the app finds every place mentioned and drops it onto your map. Search and add places manually too, each one comes with a photo, description, and local name automatically. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Group places into days, categories, or neighborhoods. Assign colors to find things at a glance, add personal notes to individual spots, and collapse groups you're not focused on yet. Each place shows its name, local script, and a short description so nothing gets lost in translation. SHARE WITH ANYONE Every map can get a link anyone can open without an account. Share a short code in a caption or message for even easier access. Viewers can explore the full map, editors can jump in and start contributing. WORKS WHERE YOU ARE Smooth on phone, tablet, and desktop. Places sync the moment they are added across all devices. PRO FEATURES Upgrade to export your maps as CSV, PDF, or KML for use in other mapping tools. Add up to four of your own photos per place.
