Saved posts piling up on Instagram? Stars scattered all over Google Maps? Whimo pulls them all into one want-to-go list — so "where should we go today?" takes seconds, not scrolling. Use it solo, or share lists with your partner, family, and friends. WHO IT'S FOR - Your Instagram / TikTok saved folder is full of places you've never actually been - Your Google Maps stars have grown too messy to use - You note down cafes and restaurants, then can't find them when you're out - Every weekend starts with "so… where should we go?" - You want one shared wishlist with your partner or family WHAT YOU CAN DO Import spots straight from Instagram & TikTok Just share a post or reel to Whimo. It finds the places mentioned in the caption and location tag, and saves them with photos, address, and category. No more screenshots you'll never open again. Bulk-import your saved places from Google Maps Export your saved places with Google Takeout and bring them in all at once. Already-registered spots are detected automatically, so nothing gets duplicated. Save any place in seconds Type a name and pick from Google-powered suggestions — saved with photos, address, and category in one tap. Add notes, a planned date, and the original post link. Share with family, partners & friends Create a group and send an invite link. Share lists like "Family outings" or "Birthday dinner ideas" — when someone adds a spot, everyone sees it. Visits stay personal, so each of you keeps your own record and reactions.
