Read the primary article or dive into the live Hacker News thread when you're ready.
Key points:
No signup, 100% privacy: No accounts, no stored data — everything processes instantly, in one go.
Supports both CSV and JSON/Google Takeout: Works with all recent Google exports.
Batch conversion: Tested on files with thousands of places (my own 2,500+ import included).
Open to feedback: Would love bug reports, suggestions, or ideas for CLI/developer workflows.
Try it with your export and let me know if it makes switching easier!
This would be amazing, however, for whatever reason, I don't have the CSV export option, and the page doesn't seem to allow choosing JSON files and when I drop the JSON it tells me "Please select a CSV file."
* *Saved:* Collections of saved links (images, places, web pages, etc.) from Google Search and Maps.
