About

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 Everyone sees updates the moment they happen, no sending links back and forth, no one working from an outdated list.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. Get unlimited public link views and a custom short share code. Whether you are planning a weekend away, building a local guide, or saving every place from your favorite travel content: this is the map for it. — Not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, or any other platform. Places Pro is an optional auto-renewable subscription that unlocks more photos per place, unlimited public-link views, and a short, shareable map link. Payment will be charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription automatically renews unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your App Store account settings after purchase.
