Screenshot → Map
Your screenshots folder, on a map.
The recommendations are already on your phone: a friend's text, a story you grabbed, a menu photo. Drop the images in and the names come out as pins, since a screenshot carries its text with it no matter where it came from.

What you get back
Names pulled out of four unrelated images, deduplicated, and mapped together, so one text thread and two stories end up on the same page:
- Attaboy — From the text — 'no menu, just tell them what you like'
- Katz's Delicatessen — From a story screenshot
- Russ & Daughters — From the same story, two slides later
- Dimes — Off the menu photo
- Clinton St. Baking Company — From the text thread
How it works
Three steps, start to map
Drop the images
Paste with ⌘V or pick them from your camera roll, and add several at a time if you have a folder of them.
Arriv reads the text
OCR pulls the words off the image. The model then sorts which of them are venue names and which are somebody's commentary.
Check and keep
You see what it found before anything is saved, and that's where you catch the bar it put in the wrong city.
Why Arriv
Why screenshots are the fastest input
It works when links don't
A screenshot has no login wall, which makes it the dependable way to get a social post onto a map.
Sources you can't paste
A text message, a printed menu, a photo of a chalkboard — none of them have a URL, so the screenshot is the only way in.
Batch, then review
Ten screenshots become one list you approve in a single pass, which beats adding them one at a time and losing track of the repeats.
Share extension on iOS
Send a screenshot straight into Arriv from the share sheet without opening the app first.
Questions
Frequently asked
- How do I turn screenshots into a map?
- Drop the images into Arriv. It reads the text with OCR, works out which words are venue names, matches each one to a real place, and plots them on a map. You see the matches before anything saves, and a wrong guess takes one tap to fix.
- What kinds of screenshots work?
- Anything with legible text works: Instagram stories, TikTok frames, text messages, article clippings, menus, even a photo of handwriting if you can read it yourself.
- Can I add several screenshots at once?
- Yes. Add a batch and the results merge into one list with the duplicates collapsed, so ten images from one trip give you one shortlist.
- Is screenshot import free?
- Guest and free accounts include screenshot capture within a monthly allowance, which covers a trip's worth of saves. Pro raises the limit and adds capture of booking confirmations.
