About PlacePins

Moments move fast. Your map should keep up.

Pins are short, useful, and tied to a real place. You only see what's live, close to you, and worth a quick stop.

Time-limitedHyperlocalPeople powered

A living map of what's happening nearby.

Share what's useful right now - without feeds, algorithms, or distant noise.

Why we built PlacePins

We wanted something that feels like a village noticeboard - quick, practical, and grounded in place. The moment should lead, not an algorithm.

  • See what's live nearby, not a global feed
  • Share updates without pressure to keep them up forever
  • Discover events, offers, pop-ups, and meetups

No followers. No pressure. Just real places talking to the people nearby.

How it works

Three simple steps from idea to pin.

Pick the spot

Drop your pin right where it matters.

Share the moment

Add a short description, photos, or a link.

Let it pause

PinTime keeps your pins live. If you run out, your pin automatically pauses so the map stays fresh. Extend or edit anytime.

How PlacePins works: drop a pin, go live nearby, PinTime runs only while it's live, pause anytime, add more time whenever you like. If you run out of PinTime, your pins pause automatically. Nothing is deleted.

Built for real-world rhythm

A food truck tonight. A club meeting. A lost pet. A local alert. A market happening now. If it's happening, it belongs on PlacePins.
