01
The camera roll
A bakery from March is lost in four thousand photos. A flat screenshot can't give you directions or an address when you're there.
Your Own Private Travel Companion
Save the place.
Not the screenshot.
Snap a screenshot of a café on Instagram, a courtyard in a story, or a spot a friend messaged. Places reads the address on your phone and pins it to your private map. Phones that cannot run on-device AI use Gemini in the cloud.
For Android and iOS. Powered by on-device AI. Currently running early access on iOS via Apple TestFlight.
The trip is already saved. Just buried in screenshots you can't use.
Inspiration strikes while scrolling: an Instagram post, a story, a travel blog. But screenshots get lost in your camera roll, disconnected from maps and directions. Places turns them into real, walk-to pins.
02
The static image
A screenshot captures what caught your eye, but it doesn't keep the address, coordinates, or a way to walk there. Places brings it to life.
03
The street
You are two blocks away and the name is gone. The search starts over, in the wrong language, in the rain.
Snap a screenshot. Walk to it later.
Take a screenshot of any spot you see and share it into Places. On-device AI extracts the address right on your phone — fast, private, and ready to walk to.
Take a screenshot
See a must-visit spot on Instagram, a video, a message, or the web? Just snap a screenshot and share the image into Places.
On-device AI extraction
An on-device model reads the text on your screen and extracts the venue name and address locally on your mobile device.
Confirm the pin
You choose the place. Nothing lands on the map until the venue name and spot look right to you.
Find it in the city
Saved spots sit safely on your phone, grouped by city, and open turn-by-turn directions when you arrive.
From a screenshot to a walk
The screenshot
A bakery you spotted while scrolling.
Someone films a café or shares a story. Just snap a quick screenshot — Places catches the image, extracts the place, and puts it on your map.
The confirm
You keep the pin. Places does not guess past you.
A candidate comes back with a name, a city, and a spot on the map. If it is wrong, you do not save it.
The city list
Lisbon, already sorted before you land.
Eat, stay, see, shop. Places you screenshotted in March are waiting in the city, kept in secure local phone storage.
The afternoon
You are nearby. The name comes back.
The map follows you. Directions open when the place stops being a memory and becomes the next stop.
Privacy & Data Security
Your camera roll is personal. Your travel data stays on your phone.
Places reads screenshots on your phone when it can, and stores your places locally. Phones that cannot run on-device AI send the share to Gemini. Your saved places are not used for ads.
Read on your phone
Screenshot analysis happens on your phone when the device can run it. Phones that cannot use Gemini instead.
Stored safely in phone memory
Your saved places, notes, categories, and itineraries reside in an on-device database on your phone. You own your travel wishlist — not an advertising algorithm.
No tracking, no profiling
We don't track your movements, log your browsing history, or sell your travel intent to third parties. Places has zero ad networks and zero data brokerage.
Reliable when roaming
Because your data and extraction models live on your device, your saved pins and city guides remain accessible even when you have no cell service or roaming data abroad.
Four kinds of place. One city at a time.
The same way the app sorts a saved list: somewhere to eat, sleep, look, or browse — then everything else.
Eat
Restaurants and cafés
The counter you saw once and refused to forget on purpose.
Stay
Hotels and guesthouses
A room someone loved, kept with the city it belongs to.
See
Sights and views
The miradouro, the market lane, the courtyard that was only in a story.
Shop
The shop with no website
A screenshot or a Maps link is enough. Places keeps the pin, not a forgotten image.
On the map
Around you, or the whole city.
Open Places and the map starts where you are. Search a radius, switch to a city, and open directions to any pin. The list you built at home is the list you use on the street.

You screenshotted it half-awake
A screenshot of a post, a story, or a map link. On-device AI extracts the address in seconds, and it becomes a pin.

The city is already a list
Lisbon is not a moodboard. It is eat, stay, see, shop — with addresses stored right on your phone.

Directions from the place you meant, not from whatever ranks first today.

What devices does Places support?
Places is designed for all mobile devices running Android and iOS. We are currently running early access on iOS devices via Apple TestFlight, with our Android release launching right alongside it.
How do I save a place into Places?
Take a screenshot of any post, story, video, article, or message featuring a venue you want to visit, then share the screenshot into Places. You can also share Google Maps links directly.
How does on-device AI extract the address?
Places reads the venue name, street, and city on your phone when the device can run on-device AI. Phones that cannot send the share to Gemini.
Where is my data stored?
All your saved places, notes, and city lists live on your phone in local storage. Screenshots stay on your phone when it can run on-device AI. Phones that cannot send that share to Gemini. They are not used for ads.
Why use screenshots to save places?
Taking a screenshot is instantaneous and universal. It works seamlessly across every app, video, chat, and travel guide without needing special links or integrations, while keeping your browsing completely private.
Does Places book the table or the room?
No. Places does not reserve restaurants or hotels. It keeps the place you already chose and gets you there.
The next city starts before you pack.
Take a screenshot when you spot a place you love. Let on-device AI pull the address. Currently running early access on iOS via Apple TestFlight, with Android support releasing soon.
