Features

Everything Pinsake does, in one place.

A pin can hold a whole story: why you saved it, what it looked like, how to get there and who you went with. Here is every part of it. All of it is free.

Drop a pin anywhere on Earth, or save a place you searched for. Everything that made it worth saving goes with it.

Up to 12 photosWith captions. Big phone photos are shrunk before they upload.
Want to go, been here, favouriteMark where you are going and where you have been.
Star ratingsFive stars for the places you would send a friend to.
Tags, dates and linksFind every #coffee pin at once, and remember when you went.

Symbols and looks

It reads the name, so you don't have to pick.

Call a pin "Home" and it gets a house. "Favourite cafe" gets a cup, "Castle" a castle. Drop a pin on a real cafe and it offers the cafe's name. Prefer your own? Pick any symbol and it stays.

Symbols from the nameAbout 80 kinds of place, in English and the words you see on maps abroad.
Personal places stay personalHome, work and where you parked skip the stars and Want to go.
485 icons and every emojiSearch them by meaning, or use your own letters and numbers.
46 colours or any colourSix shapes, three sizes, and pins that show their own photo.

Lists

Lists for trips, cities and everything in between.

Keep a list per trip, per city or per kind of place. Each gets a colour and a symbol, and new pins in it start with them.

Numbered for tripsPins show 1, 2, 3 in your order, and routes follow it.
Drag to arrangePut pins and lists in the order that makes sense to you.
FiltersShow only Want to go, a colour, four stars and up, photos or a tag.
