The problem I kept running into when traveling: saving TikTok videos of amazing-looking restaurants, then landing in the city and not being able to find any of them.
The videos were there, but the locations weren't. No addresses, no map pins — just clips in a folder I'd scroll through at 11pm wondering where that pasta place was.
I built GeoTok to fix this. You share a food video from TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts, and the app extracts the restaurant automatically — it reads the caption, transcribes the audio, and scans any on-screen menu text using OCR. The result is a pin on your personal map, with the original video attached.
Before I travel anywhere now, I spend an evening saving food TikToks from that city. By the time I land, I have a map with 20-30 spots, each with the original video attached so I remember exactly why I saved it.
The interesting pattern we keep finding: when multiple creators independently save the same place, that's a stronger signal than any review site rating. Barcelona's best pintxos bar shows up in 8 different creators' videos. That cross-creator overlap is what we surface on the map.

Awesome solution. Definitely going to check this out. I am guilty of saving a load of places during the research phase then forgetting all about it when I'm actually there!
thanks Ryan, that so me. where do you normally save? notes/screenshots/bookmarks?
I love this idea
Thank you Sheila! I see you do guides for families, we also work with guides to create customs editorial guides that are sold on geotok, and you get all the money for it. let me know if you'd like to discuss it and see it in action.
