You find a great place, promise yourself you'll remember it, and you don't. PixMap saves it in one tap — or without touching your phone at all — then taps you on the shoulder when you're near it again.
A roadside dhaba with incredible chai. A hidden waterfall. A mechanic who does honest work. A sunset viewpoint. You find these places constantly — and months later you're standing 200 metres away with no idea.
Saving a place was never the hard part. Remembering it at the right moment is.
PixMap isn't a directory of businesses and it isn't a social feed. It's a memory system for the places you personally found.
Save fast, recall automatically. PixMap watches for the moment you're near something you saved and surfaces it — instead of waiting to be searched.
Pins get richer over time. Add photos, notes, tags, your own rating. Every revisit is counted, so a pin becomes a record of your relationship with a place.
Send a place to one friend who'd actually like it. No followers, no feed, no broadcast. Trust is earned by going back and by saying thanks, not by stars from strangers.
"Hey Siri, save this place in PixMap." Say it while driving and the pin lands with your words as the title. Works with Google Assistant too.
Come within range of a place you saved and PixMap tells you. The whole point is the pin you'd forgotten you had.
A pin holds up to 20 photos, free-text notes and your own tags — the detail a map link structurally cannot carry.
CarPlay and Android Auto show what you saved near your current position, and hand navigation off to the maps app you already use.
Send a pin to a friend with the photo and the notes intact. They can open it on the web without installing anything. Every share is revocable.
The chai cart, the shortcut, the viewpoint with no address. If it isn't a registered business it doesn't exist to Google. It exists here.
Tap + when you're standing somewhere worth remembering, or say "Save this place in PixMap" hands-free. It takes about a second — a title is optional, and PixMap fills in the address for you.
Come back later and add the photo you took, what you ordered, why it was good. Rate it for yourself. PixMap counts your revisits automatically — no check-in button to remember.
Months later you're driving through the same area. PixMap notices you're close to a pin and tells you. That's the moment the whole app exists for.
Four tabs. No feed to scroll, nothing to catch up on.
Screens are illustrative and drawn from the shipping design system.
Most apps default to public because public grows faster. PixMap defaults to private because a list of the places you go is not something to hand out casually.
