PazByNever walk past a place you meant to visit.
PazBy is the radar for your travel hit-list. Save the bakery a friend recommended, the viewpoint you saved on Instagram, the bookshop on the next street over — and get a quiet nudge the moment you're nearby. Works in any city in the world.
The trip you almost wasted
You spent a month before the trip collecting tips. The food blog with the off-menu pastel de nata. The viewpoint your sister insisted you visit. The bookshop a coworker swore by. You saved them all to Google Maps, or to a Notes file, or to that travel-planning app you only opened twice.
Then you got there. You walked thousands of steps. You took hundreds of photos. And on the flight home, you scrolled back through the saved list and realized: the bookshop was around the corner from your hotel. The viewpoint was a 10-minute walk from the restaurant you went to twice. The pastel de nata place was on a street you crossed every morning getting coffee.
You didn't open the list. You forgot it was there. The places were saved, but the moment to actually visit them never connected to the moment you were nearby.
PazBy fixes that one specific problem. You save the place once, before the trip. PazBy quietly tracks where you are while you're there. When you walk within range, your phone gently nudges you: "You're near the bookshop you saved." That's it. No app to open. No list to check. Just the right place, at the right time.
Built for travelers
Vacation hit-list
The viewpoint, the restaurant, the bookshop, the bar. Save them all before you fly out — from blog posts, Instagram saves, friends' WhatsApp messages. PazBy keeps the radar warm until you're close enough to act.
Business trip
The client office, the dinner reservation, the lunch spot the local team suggested, the coffee place to kill time between meetings. No fumbling with maps between Ubers.
Conference week
Save every food, coffee, and sightseeing tip from colleagues before you land. PazBy turns into a personal city guide once you're there — without you having to remember to open it.
Returning to a city
The places you used to love in a city you haven't been back to in years. The favourite café that closed for renovations. The friend's house. PazBy remembers them all, so you don't have to.
Friends' recommendations
"You should go here when you're there." Add it to PazBy the moment they tell you. It'll be waiting for you, sometimes years later.
Layover and stopover
3 hours in a connecting city? Save 2-3 quick wins beforehand. PazBy nudges you toward the easy ones without you having to plan in the airport bathroom.
How travelers use PazBy
1. Before you go
Save places from anywhere — Google Maps share intent, long-press the map at coordinates from a blog post, or paste a Maps link from a friend's text. Group them however you want. Add a reminder note ("Try the espresso, not the cappuccino") and PazBy will read it out when you arrive.
2. During the trip
PazBy runs quietly in the background. No app to open, no list to consult. When you walk within range of a saved place, you get a notification and an optional voice announcement. If you're on transit or in a car, approach alerts can give you a heads-up two minutes before arrival.
3. Without thinking about it
Walking back to your hotel after dinner? Coffee shop you saved is one block over? PazBy taps you on the shoulder. You weren't even looking for it, but now you know it's there. That's the magic.
Real travel hit-lists
Save the must-sees before you go. Numbered pins on the map line up with the same numbers in the Places tab — so you always know which one is which.
Paris
Three must-sees saved before the trip
London
Westminster to the Museum, all in one view
Both cities in one list
The Places tab shows every saved zone, sorted by distance from where you are. The numbered badges match the pins on the map — so place 1 is your closest, place 7 is your farthest. Filter by All / Alert / My Places / Hazard to narrow the view.
Made for travel
- Works offline. Saved places live on your phone. No internet needed for the radar to fire — useful when international data is expensive or unreliable.
- Battery-conservative. The smart radar gearbox sleeps during long walking days and wakes when you start moving. A normal sightseeing day costs 2-5% of your battery.
- On-device privacy. Your locations never touch a server we operate. Sensitive on home Wi-Fi; even more so on whatever café's network you're connected to in Lisbon.
- Unlimited zones. Save 200 places for a 2-week European trip. No quota, no Premium tier, no "upgrade to save more."
- Auto-filled addresses. Saved a coordinate from a blog post? PazBy reverse-geocodes it and shows the street address so you can confirm you've got the right place.
- Share places with travel companions. Send a place to a friend in your group chat — one tap opens it directly in PazBy if they have it, falls back to a map preview if they don't.
- Encrypted Drive backup. Lose your phone in Tokyo? Restore everything on the new one (or after the trip). Backups are passphrase-encrypted — even we can't read them.
- Available on certain days/times only. Save the farmer's market that's only open Saturday mornings. PazBy hides it from the map until the time window opens.
Tips for traveling with PazBy
Save before you fly
You'll have Wi-Fi at home — save all your places then. PazBy stores them locally, so the radar works the moment you land, before you've even gotten a SIM.
Use wider radii in unfamiliar cities
At home, a 100m radius is fine — you know the neighborhood. In a new city, you might miss a notification because you turn down a different street. Default to 250m or 500m for travel zones — you can adjust later.
Use one-shot zones for "once and done" places
Tick "Auto-delete after first arrival" when saving. The place vanishes from the map once you visit, keeping your list clean and freeing you from "did I already go there?" doubt.
Add a reminder note to anything you might forget the context of
"Get the pastéis de nata, not the regular ones" is more useful than "Pastéis de Belém" alone — especially three weeks later when you've forgotten why you saved it. PazBy reads the note aloud on arrival.
Group your trip by date if you want
The Available on Date/Time feature lets you tag a zone as visible only on a specific day — useful if your itinerary has a "Tuesday in Sintra" plan and you want those zones to disappear off the map the rest of the week.
Turn off Voice announcements at night
Toggle them off from Settings when you're heading out for dinner if you don't want your phone audibly chiming in a quiet restaurant.
Pack a battery bank anyway
PazBy is battery-conservative, but a full day of sightseeing combined with photos, maps, transit, and messaging will drain any phone. A 10,000mAh power bank is your friend regardless of which apps you run.
One-time $2.99. Use it on every trip you take for the rest of your life.
No subscription. No ads. No "Premium" tier. Pay once, install it, save your first hit-list before your next trip.
