Save places from TikTok and Instagram Reels to your travel itinerary

travel planningsocial mediaproduct

Nowadays, us cool kids scroll through Reels and TikTok to get inspiration for their next travel adventures. TikToks, Reels, and Shorts get bookmarked and shared. Cafes in Paris, beaches in the Maldives, hole in the wall restaurants in Tokyo. You save them because you tell yourself you would look them up later. But more often than not, they get forgotten about.

The bookmarks graveyard

Eventually, you build a massive collection of places you genuinely want to visit, but they're buried in a feed you will never revisit.

When you actually sit down to plan a trip, you don't think to go back through your saved videos. And when you do, you have to rewatch each one, figure out what the place is called, search for it, and then manually add it to whatever spreadsheet or doc you are using. Most of the time, saved videos just sit there collecting dust.

Share the video, skip the legwork

ryokko solves this in one step. When you find a travel video with a place you want to remember, you share it directly to ryokko from the native share sheet on your phone. The same way you'd share a video with your friends.

ryokko takes that video and extracts the places mentioned in it. The name, the address, the location. It pulls out the details so you do not have to rewatch anything or type a single thing. The place gets saved to your trip, and is ready for it to be categorised and sorted into your plans.

It works across platforms

This works with Instagram Reels, TikTok videos, and YouTube Shorts. If it is a short form travel video, ryokko can pull the places out of it. You do not need to think about which platform the video is from. Just share it.

From saved video to planned day

The real value here is closing the gap between discovering a place and actually going there. Instead of a growing list of forgotten bookmarks, every place you save lands in your trip planner where it can be scheduled, viewed on a map, and shared with your travel group.

No more rewatching videos at 11pm trying to remember the name of that restaurant someone posted three weeks ago.

ryokko is in active development. If you want to turn your saved travel videos into an actual travel itinerary, join the waitlist and be the first to try it.
