TripTag turns the places you love into a map you can keep, organize, and share. Drop a "tag" on any spot — a restaurant, a viewpoint, a hidden gem — and add a photo, a star rating, labels, and a quick note. Your tags live on a clean map and in a scrollable feed, so the places worth remembering are never more than a tap away. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • Tag any place in seconds — snap a photo, set a rating, add notes. • See everything on a beautiful map, or browse a photo-rich feed. • Find tags near you, or explore what's popular around any area. • Build lists — trip logs, recommendations, to-go spots — and keep them organized. • Share tags and lists with friends, or keep them private. You control who sees what. • Two looks built in: a classic dark theme and a clean, modern light theme — switch anytime in Settings. MADE FOR • Travelers keeping a living map of everywhere they've been. • Food lovers tracking restaurants and cafés worth a return trip. • Friends swapping recommendations for a city or a weekend. • Anyone building a personal bucket list of places to go. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Every tag has its own visibility — Public, Friends, or Private — so you decide what's shared and what stays just for you. You can edit or delete anything at any time, and delete your account and data whenever you want. Start tagging the places that matter. Download TripTag and build your map.
