Meet the Pin Traveler App Family

Crossword Builder didn't come out of nowhere — it's the newest member of a small family of apps built by the Pin Traveler team. We like building small, useful things people actually reach for, and figured it was worth introducing the whole lineup. (For more on why we built Crossword Builder specifically, see our About Us page.)

Crossword Builder

Crossword Builder icon

The app this blog lives on. Design a crossword grid with real constructor tools — symmetric black squares, live numbering, AI-assisted clues — then publish it so friends and strangers can solve it, race the leaderboard, and see how they stack up.

Pin Traveler

Pin Traveler icon

The original app, and where the team name comes from. Pin Traveler turns your travels into a personal map: pin the places you've been, save memories and photos against each destination, and see your travel history summarized in your own statistics. If you like the idea of building something visual out of your real-life trips, check it out.

Travel & Trip Video Animator

Travel & Trip Video Animator icon

Takes a trip — its route and its stops — and turns it into a polished, shareable animation. Built for people who want a trip recap that's more interesting than a map screenshot.

Photo Optimizer

Photo Optimizer icon

A focused tool for a boring but universal problem: your camera roll is full of near-duplicates and giant files you don't need. Photo Optimizer helps you review large and duplicate photos and reclaim storage without digging through your library by hand.

Better Clock

Better Clock icon

A world clock for people who actually coordinate across time zones — for work, for travel, or for keeping up with people who live somewhere else. Simple, and exactly as complicated as it needs to be.

Art.iz

Art.iz icon

A guide to museums, galleries, exhibitions, and cultural spaces, for whenever you want a day out that isn't another restaurant. Good for travel, good for a random Tuesday at home.


That's the family, for now. If you've been using one of these apps and are curious what else we make, hopefully this saves you some searching — and if you haven't tried Crossword Builder yet, now's a good time.
