How it works

Three taps from souvenir to story.

No app for your guests, no QR codes, no logins. Just a tap.

01

Stick the pin

Push a Holy Cow Canvas pin (or any NFC-capable pin) into your travel map at the spot you want to remember.

02

Write the tag

Open PushPin on your phone, create a pin, and tap the back of your phone to the pushpin's NFC tag. Done in seconds.

03

Tap to revisit

Anyone — you or a guest — can tap a phone to the pin and instantly see your photos, videos, dates, and notes.

Features

Built for the way you travel.

Native iOS & Android

A real native app with built-in NFC writing — no third-party tag tools required.

Satellite map per pin

Each trip gets an interactive Mapbox satellite map you can zoom, pan, and explore.

GPS-aware photo gallery

Upload photos and PushPin reads their GPS metadata to plot every shot on the map automatically.

Multi-location trips

One pin can cover a whole road trip. Tap a marker to filter photos to just that stop.

Ratings & date ranges

Add a star rating, a date or date range, and an 'About' link to give the story context.

Shareable links

Every pin gets a clean public URL — share it in a text, an email, or write it to any NFC tag.

Holy Cow CanvasArt for life's adventures.

Holy Cow Canvas is a family-owned, USA-based workshop that makes handmade canvas pushpin maps and personalized wall art. Their travel maps — world, USA, state, national parks — are designed to commemorate the trips and milestones that mattered.

PushPin gives those physical pins a digital memory layer. Stick a pin in your Holy Cow Canvas map, write its NFC tag with PushPin, and the next tap brings the trip back to life.
