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.

Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X, Tabelog, Google Maps, the open web — the places you want to visit end up scattered across every app you use. SpotPocket lets you save any "place to go" with one tap from each app's native Share Sheet, so everything you discover across social platforms lives in one organized place. ■ Who it's for - People who keep finding great restaurants and spots through Instagram posts or YouTube Shorts - Anyone tired of hunting through separate apps to find a place they saved weeks ago - Travelers who want to organize saved spots by scene and area to plan their next outing ■ Key features - Save from the Share Sheet — one tap from Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X, Tabelog, Google Maps, or any website - Automatic titles & thumbnails — fetched in the background the next time you open the app - Scenes — organize places by what you'll do there, like lunch, drinks, or shopping - Areas — assign spots to areas you define, like "Shibuya" or "Kyoto", and browse them on the area shelf in the List tab; areas can be set anytime after saving, with suggestions based on the spot's address - Visited tracking — mark spots as "been there" and filter down to just the places you still want to go, on the map and in lists - Right-here mode — when saved spots are within a 10-minute walk, a card appears on Home with a walking-distance list and an "open now" filter - Trip plans — arrange saved spots into Day 1 / Day 2 / Undecided lanes; set a cover and departure date to get a countdown in your plan list - Plan & area sharing — show a plan or an area's spot list as an image, or hand it over as a file that opens only in SpotPocket; recipients import it straight into their own app (a one-way share with no server involved). Visited spots can be shared as a square "Been There" photo card - Facilities & events — save limited-time events with their dates and venue; the map badges venues with ongoing or upcoming events - Event calendar & reminders — scan event dates on a monthly calendar in the Events tab, get a local notification when an event starts, and see "Events Today" on Home - Home Screen widget — the countdown to your next plan's departure date and your saved-spot count, right on your Home Screen - Tags & notes — add your own tags, plus automatic hashtag detection from captions - Map view — see every place with location data on one map - Search & filter — by title, note, tag, scene, area, place name, or source app; saved spots also show up in iPhone's Spotlight search - Duplicate detection — get notified if you try to save the same link twice - Works offline — save instantly with no connection; details fill in automatically later - Backup — export everything you've saved to a file and restore it later, for phone upgrades and peace of mind ■ Privacy first Everything you save is stored only on your device, and there's no account or sign-in required. The app shows ads, but only non-personalized ones — no interest-based targeting, and you'll never be asked for tracking permission. You can also watch one video ad to hide all ads for 24 hours. Build your "places to go" list with a warm, journal-inspired design, like keeping a travel diary of everywhere you want to explore.
