New: Lists. Turn your saved places into a date-night list or a city guide and send it to a friend. They add your picks to their map in one tap.
Stop losing the places you save.
You find a restaurant on Instagram, a hidden café on TikTok, or a place you want to visit on your next trip. You save it, tell yourself you will come back to it later, and then it disappears among hundreds of other posts.
Vasco turns the places you discover into places you can actually use.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Share it
Found something? Tap the share button in any app and pick Vasco. Links, posts, reels, screenshots, plain text. No typing, no copy-pasting.
2. Vasco works out what it is
Vasco reads the content, identifies the real-world place behind it, and fills in the details you will want later: the neighbourhood, opening hours, what kind of place it is, and where you found it.
3. It lands on your map
Every place you keep goes onto one personal map, grouped by country and city, searchable, and filtered by what you are in the mood for: eat, drink, see, do, stay, shop.
MAKE LISTS AND SHARE THEM
Group your places into lists, like date nights, a weekend in Lisbon or your hummus ranking, and send one to a friend with a link. They add your picks to their own map in one tap, and you see which of yours they saved.
PICK FROM THE PLACES YOU SAVED
Tell Vasco what you feel like doing, who you are with, your budget, preferred distance and time of day. Pick turns your saved places into a short, relevant selection, so deciding what to do next is easy.
DISCOVER PERSONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Explore restaurants, cafés, bars, activities and memorable places selected around your interests. Choose any city and swipe through places around the world, then save the ones you love for future trips, spontaneous plans or everyday discoveries.
BUILT AROUND YOUR TASTE
The more you keep and dismiss, the better Vasco reads you. It learns the kinds of places you go for and uses that to rank what it puts in front of you. These are your finds, not a generic top ten that everyone else sees.
FOR THE MOMENT YOU ACTUALLY NEED IT
• Out tonight? Vasco sorts your saved places by how close they are.
• Planning a trip? Everything you have ever saved for that city is already there, grouped and mapped.
• Cannot remember why you saved somewhere? The post you found it in is still attached.
With Vasco, you can:
• Save places directly from Instagram, TikTok and other apps
• Organize all your saved locations on one map
• Make lists and share them with friends
• Get a focused selection from your own saved places
• Receive personal recommendations based on your taste
• Swipe through places in cities around the world
WHAT VASCO IS NOT
It is not another feed. Nothing to scroll, no engagement bait. Vasco shows you places you chose, and the lists friends send you.
YOUR DATA
Your saves are yours. We never sell your personal data. You can export your data, pause your account or delete it permanently from inside the app, with full erasure within 7 days.
You already found the places. Vasco makes sure they do not get lost.
