Browser bookmarklet
The bookmarklet sends the page you are on to one of your trips, whether that is a hotel link from booking.com, a pin from Google Maps, a what3words address from a guidebook or a link a friend just sent you. You click it, and the page lands on a trip.
Drag this to your bookmarks bar

How it works
The bookmarklet is a tiny piece of code stored as a regular bookmark. When you click it, it grabs the URL of the page you're on (or the text you have selected), opens littledots.com, and shows you the options for filing it. From there you add it to a trip, pin it to your map or start a new trip with it, and littledots saves it right away.
You'll need to be signed in to littledots.com for the filing step. If you're not, the page will ask you to sign in and bring you straight back to where you left off.

On a phone
Mobile browsers don't let you drag a link onto a bookmark bar. The trick is to bookmark any page first, then edit the bookmark URL to paste the bookmarklet code in.
Safari on iPhone or iPad
- Bookmark any page (the share icon, then Add Bookmark). Save it to Favorites.
- Open Bookmarks, tap Edit on the new bookmark, and rename it to "+ littledots".
- Tap the URL field and replace the address with the snippet below.
Chrome on Android
- Bookmark any page (the star icon).
- Open Bookmarks, find the new entry, tap the three-dot menu, and pick Edit bookmark.
- Replace the URL with the snippet below and save.
Snippet to paste in the URL field:
javascript:(function(){var s=window.getSelection().toString();var i=s||location.href;window.open('https://littledots.com/app/ingest?input='%2BencodeURIComponent(i)%2B'&source=bookmarklet','_blank');})();
