## What is HauntsIO?

Haunts is a check-in app for the places that matter to you. Open it when you arrive somewhere, tap the venue you're standing in, drop a photo and a quick note, and you've added a row to a map of your real life that grows quietly in the background.

The map is the point. Every check-in becomes a pin, the pins cluster as you zoom out, and over time a year of weekends becomes a route you can scroll through. Pull up any venue and see when you were last there, who you tagged, what photo you took, and the nearby places you might want to revisit. The Stats tab shows the same data the other way around: top venues, busiest months, country codes you've crossed, and a heatmap of where your life actually happens. Year in Review pulls the highlights and writes a short  narrative of your year using the venue names, photos, and trips you logged.

Trips and lists are how check-ins connect into stories. A trip groups every venue you visited on one weekend or one country crossing, with a parent-trip nesting model so a multi-week Europe sweep can hold the smaller Paris and Rome legs inside it. Lists are reusable: a Saturday brunch list, a downtown best-of, a wineries-near-home list you build over months. Bucket list venues are the inverse, places you haven't been yet but plan to, surfaced on the map and in nearby search whenever you're close enough to actually stop in.

Flights are detected automatically. Two airport check-ins within sixteen hours pair into a flight with a great-circle arc on the map and on the full-screen 3D Globe view, and the AI suggests airline and route if you don't remember. Logging just the airport you started from is enough to prompt for the destination later.

Friends are first-class. Public profiles let anyone with your handle browse the venues you've made public. Friend requests, mutual following, and contacts match (emails and phone numbers hashed on your device before they leave it) make finding the people you actually share visits with easy. Tag friends on a check-in and the visit shows up on their feed too. Per-checkin visibility is three states, public, friends, or private, so the weekend bar crawl stays out of your work network.

Stickers and achievements add a light gamification layer for the people who like that, and stay invisible if you don't. A monthly leaderboard tracks XP from check-ins, photos, and streaks. Tier 1 events fold into the points engine for once-a-year visits like a hometown anniversary or a recurring conference.

The Apple Watch companion checks you in from your wrist, with the same nearby venue coverage as the phone app. Home screen widgets jump straight to the Nearby list with one tap, so checking in takes about three seconds when you're walking through a door.

Search runs across your full history with FULLTEXT matching that handles possessive names like Lowe's, partial recall like remembering "winery" when the venue is actually a "vineyard", and a discovery tier on top that pulls in venues you haven't been to yet, biased to your current location.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.2.0 — 2026-08-13

Create trip recap videos right on your phone. Pick your stops and photos, choose a style, and it renders on our end. Start it here, finish it on the web if you want to fine-tune the details.
Your Passport has its own screen now, one tap from your profile: world map, flags, flight stats, all in one place, with a proper preview before you share it.
Ending a road trip or a flight now takes you to a real completion screen. Route, stats, records, stickers earned, and an AI-written recap.
Profile is a hub now, not a long scroll. Tap a stat and it opens something. A new Reviews & Ratings screen collects every review and rating you've left in one place.
Lists can be shared, commented on, and rated, and you can turn one into a challenge you complete by checking in at every venue on it.
Rapid check-ins from the same outing now collapse into one feed card instead of flooding your friends' feeds.
Distances now respect your mi/km setting everywhere, not just a couple of screens.
Fixed a bug where the app would flash a "can't reach the server" error on a perfectly healthy connection.
A pass on permission prompts, error messages, and accessibility across the app.
