Pinfold
Browse & navigate KML files
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Pinfold is an offline catalogue for your KML and KMZ files. Import the places you care about once — trails, travel itineraries, scouted locations, survey points, saved pins exported from other mapping tools — then browse and navigate them anywhere, with no signal required.
Most KML files come from somewhere else: Google Earth exports, GIS tools, a guide who shared a route, a colleague's site survey. Pinfold gives those files a permanent, organized home on your device instead of leaving them buried in email attachments and downloads folders.
BUILT FOR OFFLINE
• Load a file once with a connection, then use it completely offline.
• Icons and photos referenced by the file are cached on import, so they're there when you're off the grid.
• Nothing depends on a server — your library lives on your device.
BROWSE YOUR PLACES
• Navigate the original folder hierarchy from the KML, exactly as it was authored.
• Tap any placemark for its full details: description, photos, and any extended data fields the file carries.
• Custom placemark icons and colors from the file's styles are preserved.
SEE IT ON THE MAP
• View all of a file's pins together on an embedded map.
• Nearby pins group into numbered clusters when you zoom out, so dense files stay readable.
NAVIGATE WITH THE APP YOU ALREADY USE
• Open any place in Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, Organic Maps, Guru Maps, OsmAnd, Magic Earth, Citymapper, and more.
• Set a default map app for one-tap navigation, or pick each time.
• Apps you don't have installed are hidden automatically.
IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE
• Share a .kml or .kmz file to Pinfold from any app.
• Open KML/KMZ files directly from the Files app or attachments.
• Import several files at once.
KEEP YOUR LIBRARY IN SYNC (OPTIONAL)
• Turn on iCloud to keep your imported files on every device signed in to the same iCloud account.
• Your files stay in your private iCloud — Pinfold has no account and no servers.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking.
• Your location is shown only on your device and never leaves it.
Pinfold is a viewer and launcher: it reads your files faithfully and hands you off to the navigation app you prefer. Bring your places; take them anywhere.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Pinfold 2.1 is the biggest update yet.
Beter UI and UX.
More formats. Open GPX and GeoJSON files alongside KML and KMZ.
Notes on any place. Add your own notes. They sync with iCloud and show up in search.
Search that finds more. Search now ignores accents and looks inside descriptions, details and your notes.
Richer descriptions. Lists, tables, bold text and images now display properly.
Tap routes and areas. Lines and polygons on the map can be selected like pins.
Safer sync. Pinfold tells you when iCloud is unavailable and keeps your favourites safe while data downloads.
Clearer imports. Import errors say what went wrong, imports show progress and can be cancelled, and files in the Trash can be restored on re-import.
You decide on image downloads. Choose whether linked icons and photos download automatically, only when you allow it, or never.
iPad and Mac. Drag files onto the window, select several files at once, and use new menu commands and keyboard shortcuts.
Plus storage controls in Settings, a confirmation before deleting files for good, CoMaps support, and many fixes so more files open correctly.
Please update Pinfold on all your devices so your notes stay in sync.
