Never lose a moment.
Capture, plan, share and remember the moments that matter. Blinko brings together the people, places and time around the things you want to experience — from something you just discovered to a trip you’re planning or a memory you want to keep.
Free forever on iOS & Android. No ads. No algorithmic feed.
Life doesn’t happen in separate apps.
The restaurant someone texted you. The trail you saw online. The trip you’re planning, the dinner everyone agreed to, the photos you took afterwards. Today all of it is scattered across messages, maps, calendars, screenshots, notes and photos — and each of those apps holds one corner of it.
Maps — know where.
Calendars — know when.
Messaging — knows who.
Photos — know what happened.
Blinko connects them around the moment.

Blinko has an open side, and it lives at spots.blinko.ai. The spots people save, the events they make, the beacons they drop, the local businesses on here. Every one of them has a real page you can open in any browser. Look around first. Download the app when you want to start keeping your own.
Places and spots — the restaurants, cafes, shops and parks people around here have saved, each with a page of its own.
Events — the ones people have made near you, with the time, the place, and how to get there.
Beacons — the garage sale, the block party, the open house. Open the link and see what it is before you go.
Local businesses — the ones on Blinko around here, each with their own page and whatever they’re running.
If a friend invites you to a plan, you can RSVP from the link before you ever install.
Events people can actually find.
Bring people together around something happening. Make an Event and it gets a page of its own on the open web, with the time, the place, the photos and how to get there. Share that link anywhere. Anyone can open it in a browser and see what it is.
A page on the open web — the time, the place, the photos, and directions. It opens in any browser.
One link to share — paste it into a chat, a group, or an email. People open it and see the whole thing.
Change it once — move the time and the page is simply right. Nobody has to chase the thread.
A Beacon can be for everyone, or just for your people.
Leave something for others to discover. Drop a Beacon on a garage sale and the whole community can find it, on its own page on the open web, with its own link and a printable QR code, straight away. Drop one on a BBQ between two families and only the people you pick can see it. Same Beacon, two settings. Change the time and the page is simply right; the people following it see what changed the next time they look.
Open to whoever turns up — the garage sale the whole community can find. Its own page on the open web, its own link, and a printable QR card for the gatepost. No login wall, nothing greyed out behind an install prompt.
Or only the people you pick — the BBQ between two families. Same Beacon, and only the people you choose can see it.
“Live” means re-pinned — one tap moves the pin to where you’re standing. A snapshot you choose to send — never a trail anyone follows.
End it when it ends — close the Beacon and it settles into past beacons, where the people who followed it can still find it.
Plan it, and it actually happens.
Plan with friends inside the group chat you’re already in, with RSVPs on the card instead of forty messages and still no decision. Type “dinner Friday at 7” and Blinko turns it into a real plan — time, place, people — right in the conversation. Guests who don’t have Blinko yet? Send them the link and they RSVP in one tap from their browser — perfect for grandparents.
Any saved spot becomes an invitation: pick a time, choose your people.
Post a plan into any group chat — the whole group can join and RSVP inline.
Built-in reminders and one-tap add-to-calendar, in your time zone, always.
Hear from the places you like.
Follow a local business on Blinko and you hear from them directly. The offer this week, the special tonight, the event they’re running on Saturday. You followed them, so you see what they put out. Nothing in between is deciding that for you.
Offers and specials — the real ones, from places you actually go. Not coupon spam.
Their events — the tasting, the quiz night, the Saturday market, alongside everything else you follow.
Nearest first — the businesses you follow, closest to you at the top, with whatever they’re running today.
See something? Capture it.
Save a place, a dish, or a product in three taps — the restaurant a friend recommended, the trail you saw online, the thing you spotted in a shop window. Blinko fills in the rest — hours, pricing, what regulars order, even whether there’s outdoor seating — and adds Blinko’s Take, a taste-matched read on why this place is worth your time.
Places — restaurants, cafes, shops, parks. Blinko remembers where, even when you don’t.
Dishes & products — capture exactly what to order or what you spotted, connected to where you found it.
Collections — bring Spots together by trip, by mood, or as “places to take visitors.”
Works offline. Syncs everywhere.
Your family’s space. Ready before you are.
Every Blinko comes with a private Family circle — no setup, no algorithmic feed, no strangers. It’s where dinner gets planned, errands get split, and everyone knows everyone got home.
Plan dinners together — post the plan, the family RSVPs on the card.
Share spots you love — the taco place worth the drive, the dentist that takes Saturdays.
Check in — a quick 📍 “I’m home” tells everyone what they need to know. It’s a message you send — never a location that’s tracked.
Invite anyone — send a text with a personal invite code. Even the least techy family member lands right in the circle.
Family is private by design. No location tracking, no map of your family, no data sold. Ever.
Friends you’ve actually met.
On Blinko you become friends by scanning each other’s QR codes — in person, phone to phone, standing in the same room. It sounds like a small mechanical detail. What it actually does is rule out the whole category of online “friends” you may never have met, so your circle grows at the speed of your real life.
Scan, and you’re friends — phone to phone, in the same room. Nobody arrives from nowhere.
Groups of up to 32 — the run club, the flat, the four of you who always end up in the same pub.
Direct messages — one-to-one threads carrying the same cards a group does: a plan, a task, a list.
Nothing to perform for — there’s a Feed tab, and what lands in it comes from friends who chose you — not from an algorithm scoring strangers.
Some moments are worth keeping.
Travel memories, the photos, the notes — kept with the place they happened in and the people who were there. Keep any spot, plan, or trip as a Memory — the note, the photos, the date — and find it again in one place on your profile. Not an archive to browse: it’s what you reach for when someone asks where that place was, and you go back.
Be present when it happens.
Things to do nearby, at the moment you’re actually nearby: Blinko shows what’s around you right now — within 100, 250 or 500 metres, narrowed to food, coffee, shops or fun — so a free hour turns into somewhere to be. And the moment you already planned comes with you: the trip you’re walking, the plan that’s happening, the people who are there.
Nearby now — within 100, 250 or 500 metres of where you’re standing, narrowed to food, coffee, shops or fun. Capture one with Spot It, or tap Go for directions.
The local you follow — the businesses you follow and the beacons you’re following, nearest first, with whatever they’re running today.
A trip that moves with you — start it and it walks you through the stops, “Stop 1 of 5” at a time, handing each destination to your maps app when you want directions.
You’re here — when the plan is happening and you’ve arrived, check in — and see who else already has.
Moments are better together.
Share a spot with friends and it arrives as a card, not a link — because the people around a moment belong with the moment. Everywhere else, the group chat is where you talk about doing things and the doing happens in three other apps. Here the conversation is the container. A plan is a card with RSVP buttons on it. A task is a card someone can tick. A shopping list is one card, updating as your partner moves through the shop. One live card per thing, in the thread with the people it involves.
Spots in chat — “how about this place?” with the photo, the map, and the hours attached.
Tasks — one owner, a due date, a polite nudge. No more “who was bringing what?”
Lists — the shop, the packing, the party. One card reading 3 of 7, moving as somebody ticks.
Check in — one tap on the plan when you arrive. A message you send, not a location anyone keeps.
Your trip shouldn’t disappear when you come home.
Plan the trip as an itinerary you can actually walk: string your Spots into a trip — a food crawl, a walking tour, a weekend away — put the stops in the order you want them, and Blinko takes you through it stop by stop when you hit Start, with directions one tap away at each one. Travel with friends, or show them around your city. And when you come home the trip is still there, with the photos and notes you added along the way.
