## What is bigbuddie?

Where have you been?

bigbuddie turns the countries you've visited into a living globe you can spin, a passport you can fill, and a timeline of every trip.

LET YOUR PHOTOS FILL IT IN
bigbuddie reads where your photos were taken, right on your iPhone, and finds the countries, cities and past trips in them. Your photos never leave your phone.

ADD A COUNTRY IN TWO TAPS
Search any country or city and it lands on your map. Mark places as been, lived or wishlist, add the year, and drop in the cities you walked through.

A GLOBE THAT'S YOURS
Your countries light up on a real satellite globe that follows the sun, day on one side and night on the other. Switch to a flat map anytime. A progress bar shows how much of the world you've seen.

EVERY TRIP IN ONE PLACE
Trips have their own tab: a countdown to the next one, and every trip you've taken on one timeline. Places you keep going back to share one row.

YOUR TRAVEL PASSPORT
A passport page with your countries, your share of the world, continents and cities, your biggest travel year, and a stamp for every country, year by year.

SHARE YOUR WORLD
Share your globe or your passport as a card. Turn the globe to the side of the world you like first.

TRAVEL BUDDIES
Send an invite link or show your QR code. No accounts and no servers. Each friend gets a page with their globe, the places they've been that are on your wishlist, and the places you can tell them about. With Pro, see both worlds on one globe: blue for you, their color for them, green for the places you've both been.

MADE TO BE YOURS
Nine collectible app icons, light and dark themes, a sticker book, and a little plush earth who follows you around the app.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No server. No analytics, ads or trackers. Your map lives on your iPhone and nowhere else, and you can erase everything in two taps.

Logging countries and adding friends is free and unlimited. bigbuddie Pro unlocks jet lag plans, friend comparison and every app icon.
