Kokocho

Where you went, kept in one tap

Open in your browser

The browser version is always the latest.The App Store version goes through review,so new features arrive a little later.

What it does

Keep where you went, with one tap, right there

One tap keeps where you are. Add a note and a photo later. Records stay on your device only. No account, no ads.

Hand it over as a single URL, no login needed. Whoever opens it can see the place in a browser, no app required.

Home screen: a big button over the map

01

One tap, right there

Press the big button on Home once and where you are is kept. Nothing to type first.

  • A note and a photo can be added later
  • Without location permission, long-press the map to pick the spot
Your own map with its pins

02

Your own map and list fill up

Look back through pins on the map or a newest-first list. Records stay on your device and are never sent anywhere.

The review-before-sharing screen

03

Share as a URL, no login

One place or a handful you pick becomes a single URL. There is no server, so a URL you have sent cannot be recalled.

  • A review screen comes first: what will be visible, a rough-location switch, and a warning near your home
  • Photos are not part of the URL (when sharing one place, the photo can ride along in the share sheet)
The home-screen widget

04

Widget

Your home screen shows how many places you have kept, plus the note and date of the last one.

Why this

Apps that record places already exist

Kokocho differs in three mechanics. You keep the spot you are standing on with one tap, instead of searching and picking first. Records never leave your device. And sharing needs no login.
