Dokokana is a clean, no-fuss iPhone app that saves your current location with one tap. Tap the "Remember this place" button and a marker is dropped right where you are. Add an optional memo if you want. All your saved spots show up in a list — tap any entry and the map zooms straight to it. Swipe to delete spots you no longer need. That's the whole app.
Tap the "Remember this place" button and a marker is added at your exact current location. No typing required — if you skip the memo, the spot is automatically named "Location #1", "#2", and so on. Fast enough to use before you walk away from your car.
Your current position (blue dot) and every saved marker appear on the map at the same time. The map uses a realistic 3D terrain style so you can recognize the area at a glance. Pinch to zoom, drag to pan — it works just like the Maps app you already know.
The History tab shows all your saved spots sorted newest first, with the name and the date and time you saved them. Tap any entry and the app switches to the Map tab and zooms to that exact location. Finding your car is as simple as opening the list and tapping.
When you save a location, an alert gives you an optional text field. Type anything — "Level 3, Row B", "Blue coin parking", "That café by the river" — and it becomes the marker label shown on the map and in the list. Skip it and the auto-name takes over.
The red "Remember this place" button sits at the bottom of the map screen. Tap it and an alert appears with an optional memo field. Hit "Remember" and the marker is saved. Leave the memo blank and the app automatically assigns a sequential name like "Location #1". There are no accounts, no setup, and no forms to fill out. You can save a spot in under three seconds.
The History tab lists every saved spot in reverse chronological order, showing the name and timestamp for each one. Tap any entry and the app instantly switches to the Map tab and centers the map on that location at street level. No searching, no typing — just tap the spot you want and the map does the rest. Swipe left on any entry to delete it when you're done.
When you save a spot without a memo, Dokokana scans your existing markers, finds the highest number already in use, and assigns the next one. So if you have "Location #3" saved, the next nameless spot becomes "Location #4". Delete entries in any order — the numbers never collide or repeat. Your list stays organized even if you never type a single word.
The map shows your live position as a blue dot alongside every marker you've ever saved. When you open the app, the camera moves automatically to your current location so you can see nearby markers right away. The realistic terrain style makes it easy to recognize your surroundings visually — useful when you're trying to remember which entrance you came in through.
When you open Dokokana for the first time, it will ask for location permission. Choose "Allow While Using App." The map will then center on your current location, shown as a blue dot. Open the app right where you've parked or stopped.
Tap the red button at the bottom of the map screen. An alert appears with an optional memo field. Type a name for the spot or leave it blank — either way, tap "Remember" and a marker is saved at your current position. Blank memos are automatically named "Location #1", "#2", and so on.
Open the History tab and you'll see all your saved spots, newest first. Tap any entry and the app switches to the map and zooms to that location. When a saved spot is no longer needed, swipe left on it in the list to delete it.
"Large parking garages always confused me — I'd forget which floor and which section I was on. Now I tap this button the moment I park and I'm done worrying. Jumping back to the exact spot from the list is the feature I use most."
"I use it on trips to pin interesting shops and spots I want to revisit. Adding a memo with the name means I can find it in the list immediately. No unnecessary features, no account required — exactly what I wanted."
"My neighborhood has a row of nearly identical parking lots and I kept getting confused. Since I started using this app I haven't had that problem once. The auto-numbering is a nice touch — deleting old entries doesn't mess up the sequence."
