Your Map, Now with Memories
Jul 24, 2025
Most maps show you where to go.
Placify remembers where you’ve been.
Most maps are good at what they do.
Pins. Routes. Distances.
They help you move through space, efficiently, precisely, and without feeling.
But they won’t remind you what it felt like to be somewhere.
They don’t remember who you were with.
Or what kind of day it was.
Or that little laugh outside a cafe that made you pause for a second longer than usual.

Placify isn’t just a travel planner.
Yes, it helps you save places and plan your adventures.
But more than that, it’s your personal map.
One that quietly remembers the moments attached to places.
One that helps you revisit not just locations, but feelings, people, and slices of time.
What if your photos could find their way home?
You know those photos that sneak up on you?
📸 From three summers ago.
📸 Your dad grilling in the backyard.
📸 That blurry shot of your best friend mid-laugh.
📸 A walk with someone who isn’t in your life anymore but meant a lot back then.
You weren’t even thinking about it and then, there it is.
That image. That feeling. Like your past self just sent you a postcard.
That’s the magic we wanted to bring into Placify.
And that’s why we built Smart Photo Linking.

You remember the moment.
But where did the photo go?
Our lives are full of memories. Scattered across apps, hidden in folders named IMG_7301.
You remember that lazy Sunday brunch with your mom.
You remember that weekend in Kyoto with your partner, the rain, the laughing, the wrong train.
But the photo?
Somewhere. Maybe in the cloud. Maybe not.
So we asked:
What if you didn’t have to dig?
What if you just marked a place… and the memories came back to you?

With Smart Photo Linking, Placify automatically surfaces the photos you took at any place you mark.
No sorting. No searching. No effort.
Just… memory, gently resurfacing.
Every photo holds a story.
Now when you view photos in Placify, you get more than a pretty image.
We show you when and where it was taken, and (if available) EXIF details like camera, lens, and settings.

But the real joy?
You can write your own little note for each photo.
Those things only you would remember:
“Didn’t even know he was taking this. I was halfway through a story.”
“This was that rainy Tuesday. We had pancakes and no plan. Best kind of day.”
*To write notes, photos must be favorited in Placify.
Your memories. Your device. Your rules.
We care deeply about privacy.
All photo processing happens locally on your device.
Nothing is uploaded. Ever.

If you want to sync photo memories across devices, you can enable iCloud Photo Library or use Placify’s “Photos Backup” (which only includes your favorited photos).
Either way, your memories stay yours.
Private. Secure. Just a little more beautifully organized.
Why we built this
Because not all memories come from once in a lifetime trips.
Sometimes, they live in the quiet days.
The unplanned walks.
The small dinners.
The moments that seemed ordinary until later, when you realized they weren’t.
At Placify, we believe places aren’t just pins on a map.
They’re containers of meaning.
And we don’t just want to help you get to your next destination. We want to help you remember how far you’ve come.
You mark a place.
And one day, when you’ve forgotten it ever mattered,
Placify will hand you back a memory you didn’t know you needed.
