First, the disclosure: we make Stasht, one of the apps below. You should read everything here knowing that. We've kept the descriptions factual, said what each app is genuinely best at, and included the cases where you'd be better off with someone else's product. Feature details were last verified in June 2026; these apps all ship fast, so check the listings for anything load-bearing.
The problem all of these solve: you watch a video about a restaurant, you save it, and the save is a video bookmark rather than a place. No address, no map pin, no way to find it when you're hungry three blocks away. Every app here turns place videos into mapped places. They differ on how much they extract, which platforms they cover, and what happens after the save.
If you want the map-first setup before the app comparison, start with how to save TikTok restaurants to a map. If you already want the Stasht version, use save places from TikTok and Instagram to your map. If you have a pile of saved restaurants and need to turn it into actual meals, read you saved the restaurant, here's how to actually go.
How to choose
Three questions sort it out fast:
- Do you save more than just places? If your saves are also recipes, events, products, and ideas, you want a general save app with a strong map (Stasht, Rodeo, Albo). If it's purely food and travel spots, a places-only app (Rezz, GoPlaces, Drawer, Mapstr) is a tighter fit.
- What devices do you live on? Several of these are iPhone-only. If you're on Android or want desktop, the field narrows quickly.
- Do you want saves to come back to you? Mapping is table stakes. The differences show in resurfacing: nearby alerts, calendars, reminders, daily picks, or nothing.
Stasht (ours)
You share a TikTok or Reel to Stasht and it reads the caption, the on-screen text, and what's said in the video, then pins the place to your map with the address, hours, and links. A video covering five spots becomes five pins, each linked back to the original video. It handles the rest of your saves too: events go on your calendar (with Google Calendar sync), recipes become recipes, and everything is searchable, including words that were only spoken in the video.
The other half of the pitch is resurfacing: saved places show up when you're nearby, events surface before tickets go on sale, and you can set a reminder on anything at save time. It works on iPhone, iPad, Android, and desktop, with browser extensions that bulk-import your existing Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, and Pinterest saves: Chrome on desktop, or Safari on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Free.
Honest limits: We're newer than most apps on this list, and there are no social features yet — no shared lists or friend maps. If saving is a group activity for you, look at Rodeo or Likepost-style apps.
Best for: People whose saves are plans, across more than one platform and more than one category. For a concrete place-save example beyond restaurants, read our NYC remote-work guide built from saved cafes, hotel lobbies, and public work spots.
Here are three real public TikTok saves in Stasht so you can see the difference between saving a video and saving the place inside it.
Rezz
Rezz is focused and good at its focus: share or paste a restaurant video from Instagram or TikTok and it maps and categorizes the spot automatically. The interface is built around food specifically, and it keeps the experience simple. There's a free version with limits and a paid subscription for full functionality.
Honest limits: Restaurants-first by design. If you also save workouts and gift ideas, Rezz isn't trying to be that app.
Best for: Food-first savers who want a dedicated restaurant map and don't mind a subscription.
GoPlaces
GoPlaces leans travel: save places from TikTok and Instagram, then turn them into actual plans, with booking built in for hotels, restaurants, and events. If your saved videos are mostly "places I'll go when I finally take that trip," the planning workflow is the draw.
Honest limits: The booking-and-itinerary angle is the product. For everyday "what's good near me tonight," it's more machinery than you need.
Best for: Trip planners who save destinations more than neighborhood spots.
Drawer
Drawer does one thing cleanly: share a restaurant rec from Instagram, TikTok, or a friend's text, and it extracts the name, location, and even what to order. It's been at this a while and the extraction is the point.
Honest limits: Places only, iOS-centric, and lighter on what happens after the save.
Best for: A simple, reliable inbox for restaurant recs.
Mapstr
The veteran. Mapstr is a free personal map where you save places, tag them your way, and share maps with friends. It's loved, mature, and the social map angle is genuinely nice. The catch relative to the others: it's built around you adding places, not around extracting them from videos, so the TikTok-to-pin step is more manual.
Honest limits: Less automatic extraction from social video; the work of getting a place in is mostly yours.
Best for: Deliberate curators who want a beautiful personal map and don't save primarily from video.
Rodeo
Rodeo comes from an ex-Hinge team and frames saving socially: AI extraction from screenshots and webpages, a map, an agenda view, and shared lists so the group chat can plan together. It also searches restaurant reservations. iPhone and iPad only.
Honest limits: No Android, no desktop, no browser extension, and the resurfacing is an in-app agenda rather than your real calendar.
Best for: iPhone groups whose saves are mostly shared plans.
Albo
The most feature-complete general save app after ours, and we say that with respect: AI categorization, a map, smart and shared collections, related-post discovery, and native apps across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro. Android is in beta. Paid tiers.
Honest limits: No calendar at all, which is a real gap if events are part of your saving. Extraction is category-level rather than reading text and speech inside videos.
Best for: All-Apple users who want polished native apps and shared collections today.
Google Maps lists (the free default)
Search the place, tap save, pick a list. Free, universal, and the pins show up while you navigate. For pure places, this is the baseline every app above has to beat.
Honest limits: Every save is manual: stop scrolling, switch apps, search, file. The list holds only places, with no link back to the video, no "what to order," and nothing resurfaces on its own.
Best for: Light savers who'd rather not add an app.

Common questions
Why not just use TikTok's location tag? When creators tag the place, great, tap through. The problem is the other half of videos where the name only appears on screen or in speech, and the save itself still lives in TikTok, unsearchable and unmapped. The apps above exist for that half.
Which of these handle a video with five restaurants in it? Multi-spot extraction is where the extraction-first apps (Stasht, Rezz, GoPlaces, Drawer) earn their keep. Stasht splits roundup videos into one pin per place, all linked to the source video; we wrote more about that workflow in how to save TikTok restaurants to a map and you saved the restaurant, here's how to actually go.
Do any of these download or store the videos? The apps in this list save the post and extract details from it; the save links back to the original on TikTok or Instagram. If a creator deletes a video, the extracted details and your notes survive, the video itself doesn't.
What's the actual best one? For places-only saving on an iPhone, Rezz or Drawer. For trips, GoPlaces. For all-Apple households, Albo deserves a real look. If you save across platforms and categories and want it back on a map, a calendar, and reminders, that's the exact reason we built Stasht.
