Castle Explorer Find & Collect

A quiet app for travelers, romantics and history lovers. Castle Explorer shows you castles, castles and ruins on a tidy map - from the nearby castle ruin to the fairy tale castle at the other end of the world. Mark what you have visited. Save what you dream of. And browse through your own travel archive whenever you feel like it. WHAT AWAITS YOU • Thousands of curated castles and palaces worldwide • Map with clear filters: castle, castle, palace, fortress, ruin • "Visited" and "Bucket List" - two states, you don't need anything more • Detail pages with Wikipedia background, construction time, architectural style and region • Own notes, reviews and photos per location • Travel statistics: first castle, most visited country, new continents • Multilingual (German & English), iCloud sync on all Apple devices • Readable offline - even without reception in the Burggraben • Ad-free. No subscription. No tracking. HONESTLY FINANCED Castle Explorer is and remains free. If you like, you can support the developer with a voluntary tip - all functions are open regardless of this. FOR WHOM IS THIS MADE? • Travelers who love castles, instead of looking for them • Hikers and Sunday excursionists who want to spontaneously plan something nice • Collectors who want to put their travels into a beautiful archive • Parents and grandparents who want to show children history - analogously on the map, not through a TikTok reel The app speaks a quiet design language: parchment-colored surfaces, clear typography, no bright banners. It should feel like a well-kept travel diary - not like a digital speaker spectacle. DATA AND PRIVACY • Your location is only used locally to center the map • Notes, photos and reviews are stored in your private iCloud • No analytics trackers, no advertising, no sale of data Castle Explorer is a small, personal app by a solo developer. Feedback and wishes are welcome.
