ikutoco: Places to Go

Turn your list of places to go into date night and trip plans, then let the other person choose with one link. ikutoco saves the places you find on social media and Google Maps, lets you build a few options from them, and sends those options to a partner, friends, or family to pick from. They need no account and no app.

■ What you can do

• Save: add restaurants and places straight from the Share button
• Find: by tag, area, opening hours, distance, or on the map
• Plan: itineraries with times, travel, and costs (trips and dates)
• Propose: line up a few options and send one link
• Carry: open it as a booklet on the day, or print it

■ Who it is for

• Places you found on social media or a map are scattered across screenshots and bookmarks
• "Anywhere is fine" keeps ending the conversation before anything is decided
• You organize the trip or the outing, and you want everyone to pick from a few options
• On the day itself, you want the times and addresses on one page

■ Save straight from the Share button From Instagram, Google Maps, Tabelog, Safari, or any other app, tap Share, choose ikutoco, and tap Save. You do not have to open the app first. The place is saved with its name and link, and map links also add the address and a pin (the name is filled in when it can be read from the page). Keep a list of places to go long before you have plans.

■ Find them by tag, area, or opening hours Filter by tag, area, type, rating, or cost, and by opening hours — open now, or open at a day and time you choose, like Saturday at 7 pm. Sort by distance, or switch to the map and pick from what is nearby. Search runs across names, tags, addresses, and notes.

■ Keep hotel and restaurant plans too Save room plans and set menus with a place, then use them for itinerary costs and proposal options.

■ Build an itinerary (trips and date plans) Put the places you will visit and how you get between them into one line, with times, costs, and notes. The total and the per-person amount are worked out for you. One itinerary can hold as many days as you need.

■ Propose, and let the other person choose Pick a few of your saved places and that is a proposal. Offer places to choose from, or whole itineraries to compare. For itineraries, the differences in cost, time, and stops are shown side by side.

■ One link is all you send Send the link you issue. The other person needs no account and no app. You set when the link expires, and you can add a password or turn it off at any time.

■ Carry a booklet on the day An itinerary reads as a single page: times, addresses, phone numbers, and notes in order. Open it where you are, or print it.

■ Trips abroad Worldwide maps, overseas addresses, opening hours checked in local time, and your choice of currency. Available in Japanese and English.

■ A record of where you have been Visited marks, ratings, and favorites turn your saved places into your own log.

■ Open the same thing on a computer The same account works in a browser. Build it on a big screen, open it on your iPhone when you are out.

■ Signing in Sign in with Google, or Sign in with Apple.

■ What it costs Free to use. There are limits on the number of places, itineraries, and proposals, and on the number and length of share links, and the app tells you on screen when you reach one. Reaching a limit never locks what you already have — you can still read and edit it. Ads are shown while you use the free plan.

ikutoco Pro, an auto-renewable subscription (yearly or monthly, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers), removes the limits and can be bought in the app. Payment is charged to your Apple Account, and the subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the next renewal. Cancel anytime in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Terms of Use: https://ikutoco.com/en/terms Privacy Policy: https://ikutoco.com/en/privacy
