How Locivia works
Four steps, from the moment you spot somewhere in a video to the morning you’re standing in front of it. Locivia suggests; you always decide.
Step 1
Share a link from the app you found it in
Locivia adds itself to the iPhone Share menu. When a video, post, or article mentions somewhere you want to go, share it and add a quick note. You can do this before you’ve chosen a destination — it goes into your general Inspiration Library.
- Supported: public links from major social and web sources.
- Your note is saved alongside the original link, so context survives.
- Private accounts and content Locivia can’t open are reported honestly instead of failing silently.

Step 2
Locivia reads the content and suggests places
Captions, descriptions, and on-screen text usually contain the name of the place. Locivia extracts what it can and proposes matches — with an honest note about how confident it is.
- Suggestions are proposals, never automatic saves.
- If a video doesn’t say where it was filmed, Locivia says it couldn’t identify a place.
- The link stays in your Library either way, so you never lose the idea.

Step 3
You review and approve
Nothing reaches your map until you say so. Approve a match, correct it to the right location, or remove it. Corrections are the fastest way to keep a trip trustworthy.
- Approve, edit, or dismiss each suggestion.
- Add your own places manually whenever you want.
- Archive an idea to keep it without cluttering the plan.

Step 4
Plan days on one map
Approved places appear together on a single map. Group what’s close into a day, reorder stops, and keep the original video attached to every pin for when you get there.
- See distances before you commit to a day.
- Reorder stops without rebuilding the plan.
- Invite the people you’re travelling with to the same Library.
Under the hood
Every saved link has a state you can see
No silent failures. A link always tells you where it stands.
Saved
The link is stored in your Library with your note and its original source.
Processing
Locivia is reading the supported content to look for possible places.
Needs review
Suggested places are waiting for you to approve, correct, or remove.
Approved
You confirmed the place. It appears on the map and can be added to a day.
Couldn't identify
No place could be determined. The link stays saved and you can add a place yourself.
Archived
Kept out of the way without deleting it. You can restore or delete it later.
