The city is covered in signatures.

Plakker recognizes stickers automatically and shows how far they travel. Shoot, spot, follow the trail.

Plakker map with a sticker card

Someone slapped that thing on a utility box in Rotterdam. Then nothing. No idea where it went. Until someone in Lisbon pulled out their camera.

Straight out of the app

Shoot. Recognized. On the map.

Three taps of the same loop, every time you walk past something good.

The sticker's own page

Who found it, where, when — and how far it has travelled so far.

For those who look, and those who make.

Spotter

You see what others miss.

On the back of a road sign in Prague. Under an escalator handrail in Tokyo. On a mailbox you've cycled past a hundred times. You see them. Shoot them. And the app tells you the story behind them.

  • 50 points per spot — +20 if you're the first worldwide
  • Daily streak, weekly leaderboard
  • Join a clan and chase the weekly goal together
Maker

Stick something. Then wait. Then this.

Your drop is sitting on a shutter somewhere. Plakker sends you a notification the moment someone finds it — with a photo, a location and a pin on the map. That's how you watch your work travel.

How it works

From lamppost to world map.

01

Spot

Tap the SPOT button. Camera opens. Frame it, shoot.
02

Recognize

The app lines your photo up against every known sticker. Sure match → linked instantly. Close call → you confirm it with one tap.
03

Map

Your spot appears on the world map. That sticker's story grows.
04

Points

You see straight away what you earned and how you move on the leaderboard.

How does the recognition work exactly?

Two steps: first a quick visual comparison ("do they look alike?"), then a precise check that overlays distinctive points in both photos. Lots of matches = definitely the same sticker — even at a different angle, different light or a bit of wear.

Sticker page

Every sticker is a story in the making.

First spot: the corner of a doorframe in The Hague. Three weeks later: a utility box in Ghent. Two months later: somewhere in Osaka. The sticker page shows who found it, where, when — and how far apart the two most distant spots lie. Share it with one link. No account needed to look.

You don't spot alone.

Unless you want to. But the leaderboard keeps score.

Leaderboards

Spotters and makers. Weekly, monthly, all-time. Who's climbing, who's slipping, who came out of nowhere to top it.

Clans

Team up. Set a weekly goal. Chase it together. There's a clan leaderboard — and a clanroom for your crew.

Stickiest sticker

One sticker each week that sticks hardest. The most points that week = the glory. That's all. But it feels big.

Search

Find spotters by username or Instagram handle. Find stickers by name. One search field, live as you type.

FAQ

Quick answers.

Does it cost anything?

No. No subscription, no paywall, no ads. Just free.

Do I need an account?

To spot, yes. Viewing sticker pages and profiles works without one.

How does the recognition work?

The app overlays distinctive points from your photo onto those of earlier finds. It works across different angles and changing light — not if the sticker is damaged beyond recognition or sitting in the dark.

What does the app do with my location?

We only use it to put your spot on the map. We don't store any location history beyond your spots.

Can I add my own stickers?

Yes. As a maker you register a sticker as a drop. Already in the app but not under your name yet? File a claim — an admin reviews it.

Does it work outside the Netherlands?

Yes. The map, leaderboards and recognition work worldwide.

Get outside.

Somewhere a sticker is waiting for you to find it.
