MeanToGo

Save every place you mean to go, from anywhere you find it, and see them all when you get there.

Found a café in a video, a restaurant in a friend's message, a museum in a travel blog? Share it to MeanToGo. It works out which real place it is, and saves it under its country and city, on a map.

• Links: share a video, post, article or Google Maps pin from any app.
• Screenshots and photos: a chat that recommends a place, a menu, a storefront.
• Text or search: paste a list of tips, or search a place by name.
• Lists and sharing: put places in lists, and send a place, a list or a whole city to a friend.

MeanToGo is for iPhone and Android. Signing in (with Apple or Google) is optional: it keeps your places in sync across your phones.

Help

A capture didn't find the right place

Pick the right one from the other matches, or search it by name on the same screen. Links to Instagram and TikTok often can't be read: a screenshot of the post works better.

"Daily limit reached"

Finding places uses a paid map service, so each person, and each network when you're not signed in, gets a number of searches a day. The message says when it's back. Signing in gives you your own limit.

Moving to a new phone

Sign in with the same Apple or Google account on the new phone: your places, notes and lists come with it. Places you saved before signing in join your account the first time you sign in.

Deleting your MeanToGo account and data

In the app: Settings → Account → Delete account, then confirm by signing in again. It deletes your account from the app and from this phone.

Without the app (a lost phone, or the app is already uninstalled): write to raffaelelabrocca@gmail.com from the email address you signed in with, with the subject "Delete my MeanToGo account". I'll delete it and reply to confirm.

What is deleted: your sign-in account, and everything saved with it on our server: your places, notes, lists and sources, and every link you shared (those links stop working). What is kept: nothing that identifies you. Crash reports and usage events don't contain your places or notes, and Firebase deletes them on its own (crash reports after up to 90 days, usage events after up to 14 months). Signing out, instead of deleting, keeps your places in your account.
