Your personal map of places

Places you want to go. And the ones you've already seen.

A forgotten manor from a blog post, a mosaic at a bus stop, a wooden chapel a friend told you about — Zholobok keeps your finds on one map. Mark them, organize them your way, note where you've already been, and plan where to go next.

Access is invitation-only for now

Sound familiar?

Screenshots in your camera roll, bookmarks in Google Maps, notes on your phone, a post you sent to yourself. And when a free weekend finally comes, you can't remember what was worth seeing along the way.

Zholobok puts it all in one place and remembers what you know about every spot

What's inside

Map

A map that tells the story at a glance

The marker's color is its category, and how solid it is shows its status: you see at once what you've already seen and what's still waiting. Open the map before a trip and everything interesting along the way is right in front of you.

Categories and fields

Categories and fields for your passion

Palaces, mosaics, water towers or wineries. Categories nest as deep as you like: temples → churches → wooden. And you invent the fields yourself: year built, architect, condition, ticket price, “are dogs allowed” — text, a number, a date, yes/no or a choice from a list.

Visits

A visit diary

Every trip is its own entry: date, note, photos. A point's status is worked out on its own and never drifts from the history.

Filters

Find what you need in a second

“Manors in fair condition with open access that I haven't visited yet” is a few clicks in the filter. Search works across the name, description, visit notes, categories and any of your fields.

Import

Bring your places over from Google Maps

Paste a link to a place — the name and coordinates fill in by themselves. Or import a whole saved list: hundreds of points at once, with no duplicates.

Pick what you want Zholobok for

Interested in something else?

Delete what you don't need in a minute and build your own collection. Zholobok suits you if you:

  • are planning a road trip and want to see everything interesting along the way
  • look for interesting places — castles, lakes, railway stations, cafés — and don't want to lose them
  • run a blog or a channel and gather material
  • simply want to remember where you've been

Your places are yours alone

Zholobok is not a social network, it's a personal notebook. The points, notes, photos and visit history you add are seen only by you.

No feed
Nobody sees your finds, and you don't see anyone else's
No likes or comments
No ratings or comparisons: the map exists for you alone
No public profiles
An account is only for signing in, not a showcase

Want to try it?

Zholobok is invitation-only right now — that's how we manage to listen to everyone and fix whatever gets in the way. Leave your email and a few words about the places you're interested in, and we'll send you an invitation.
