Leave your mark somewhere real

Leave your poem, photo, video, audio, or thought in the place that inspired it.

TagThePlanet is a place to leave your message in the world. Tag the summit with a poem. Leave a photo, a video, audio, or a thought at a place that matters to you. When someone else travels there or comes nearby, they can discover what you left, enjoy it in that same place, interact with it, and add their own voice to the story of that location.

What TagThePlanet is for

A living layer of messages, memories, and art over real places

The center of TagThePlanet is simple: leave something meaningful in a real place, and let the next person who arrives there discover it. Everything else in the app exists to support that feeling.

LEAVE

Leave a thought, poem, photo, video, or audio

TagThePlanet is for marking the place with what you felt there. A poem at a summit, a photo from a lookout, a short video, a voice note, or a message about what the place meant to you. Photos and videos are resized for reliable mobile uploading.

FIND

Discover what others left when you are nearby

The map is built to help you notice nearby posts with previews, first-tag banners, heatmaps, and playful discovery tools. You can browse from your current location, Yosemite, or anywhere you move the map.

KEEP

Keep old memories tied to place too

Import photos and videos from your library, preserve capture dates, and place older moments back where they happened without taking away the first-post moment from someone who later goes there in person.

SHARE

Build tours and meetup memories around places

Build tours from multiple photos, add titles and descriptions, reorder stops, and use meetups for shared event memory and place-based feeds that many people contribute to together.

FEED

Follow what people are doing

The social feed shows new tags, comments, ratings, and first tags. Switch between all tags, nearby tags, and people you follow without losing the map.

Why it feels different

The map is there to help you feel the place, not bury it

TagThePlanet leans playful, but the purpose is grounded: make it easier to find what people left nearby and feel the difference between one place and another.

Reward real exploration

The people who really go there should matter most

Imported archive media can still live on the map, but it does not take the first-post badge away from a real person who later goes to the place and posts on location. TagThePlanet is meant to encourage real travel, not just remote collecting.

Imported media keeps capture dates

Old library imports still show when the photo or video was actually captured.

Live posting still matters more

Being there in person is still rewarded in the map logic.

How it works

Built around the moment of arriving somewhere and finding what was left there

TagThePlanet works best when it stays simple: you get somewhere, notice what people left there, leave something of your own, and let the place build a memory over time.

1. Arrive somewhere

Open the map, move the crosshair, and see what people left near the exact place you are looking at. Location access is helpful, but browsing the map still works without it.

2. Leave your mark

Post a thought, poem, photo, video, or audio memory and choose whether it should be public, friends-only, or personal.

3. Add your older memories too

Import photos and videos from your library and let TagThePlanet place them from media GPS when available, with captured dates preserved.

4. Let the place grow over time

Follow tours, see nearby alerts, revisit meetup archives, and come back later to see how other people added their own thoughts to the same spot.

Safety and trust

Made for public places, not map spam

Place-based products need stronger guardrails. TagThePlanet shows Terms of Use & Community Rules before user-generated content, then includes reporting, blocking, moderation, and location protections so the map stays useful and safe.

Visibility controls

Posts can be public, friends-only, or personal.

Reporting and blocking

Users can report harmful content, report comments, request private-property review, and block abusive accounts.

Protected locations

Location-safety work is built in to reduce tagging of private residences and sensitive places.

Moderator tools

Reports open into the offending tag, comment, or profile so moderators can review, delete, allow, pause, ban, or message users.

Account deletion in-app

People can manage their own account without having to chase support first.

Events and public memory

One place can hold many perspectives without turning into clutter

Concerts, games, hikes, and meetups can gather many posts at one place while still keeping a central event feed and archive people can return to later.

TagThePlanet is a place to leave something meaningful in the world.

The free first release stays focused on the real idea: leave your message, your photo, your poem, your video, or your memory in a place so the next person who gets there can discover it, enjoy it, and add their own.
