GeoTok turns TikTok food videos into a travel map

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.
