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 place names come out as pins.

What you get back
Names pulled out of four unrelated images, deduplicated, and mapped together:
- 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. Several at a time is fine.
Arriv reads the text
OCR pulls the words, then the model decides which of them are places rather than commentary.
Check and keep
You see what it found before anything is saved, so a wrong match takes one tap to fix.
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 into a map.
Sources you can't paste
A text message, a printed menu, a photo of a chalkboard. None of them have a URL.
Batch, then review
Ten screenshots become one list you approve in a pass, rather than ten separate searches.
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 to a real place, and plots them on a map. You review the matches before anything saves.
- What kinds of screenshots work?
- Anything with legible text: Instagram stories, TikTok frames, text messages, article clippings, menus, even a photo of handwriting if it's clear.
- Can I add several screenshots at once?
- Yes. Add a batch and the results merge into one list with duplicates collapsed.
- Is screenshot import free?
- Guest and free accounts include screenshot capture within a monthly allowance. Pro raises the limit and adds capture of booking confirmations.
