Dropin
A simple tool to build your own map of places that matter to you. Each place gets a category, the tags you choose, and your own notes and photos.
In development, not on the App Store yet
Saved places usually end up scattered: a screenshot here, a bookmark there, a link in a chat.
Dropin keeps them together on one map. Pins take the color and symbol of their category, so you can read the map at a glance and find what you saved without searching.
Long press the map to drop a pin. Dropin fills in the address, you give it a name and a category, and it's saved. You can also start from an address, your current location or GPS coordinates.
No public reviews, no ranking. Each place holds what you wrote about it: your rating, your notes, your photos, the tags you picked, and its phone, email and website. Directions open in Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze.
Pick one or more categories and tags, and the map only shows the places that match. Vegetarian restaurants you still want to try, for example.
Import your Mapstr export in one step. Your places arrive with their categories and tags, and duplicates are skipped.
Export your whole library to a Dropin file whenever you like, in a format you can read, and import it back on any device.
Your places are stored on your iPhone, so they're there without a connection.
You own your data from end to end, exportable anytime, in a format you can read.
No ad trackers, no algorithm, no accounts sold to anyone.
Dropin is still in development. There's no App Store or TestFlight link yet; this page gets one when there is.
