## What is Keets App?

Fog of War, but for the real world.

The map around you starts hidden. As you move through your city on foot, the fog lifts — the streets, parks and corners you actually visit are revealed, and everything else stays dark, waiting to be explored.

Keets is a play on the German word "Kietz": an area of a city smaller than a district but bigger than a few blocks — a set of streets that share a vibe. Pick one, set it as a quest, and try to reach 100%.

• Explore on foot and watch your map uncover in real time
• Set quests for any neighbourhood and track your coverage
• Your progress syncs across devices when you sign in
• Privacy-first — your precise location never leaves your phone

How much of your city have you really seen? Start walking and find out.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-08-21

This release is mostly about trust: the map behaves, and Keets is straight with you about location.

Fixed
• The map could freeze or reload itself while you panned around. It doesn't any more.
• Your position dot showed the recording colour even while paused. It's now grey when paused and red only while actually recording.
• Tapping locate or record could look like nothing happened while GPS was still searching. You now see "Searching for GPS…" straight away, and a clear message if no signal arrives.
• The location permission row in Settings kept its old value after you changed the setting on your phone. It updates as soon as you come back.

Changed
• Paused now means paused. Keets takes no location reading at all unless you ask it to — by recording, tapping locate, or opening Quests.
• Keets asks about background location once, explains why first, and doesn't nag afterwards. You can always change it in Settings.
• Wording throughout now says exactly what is collected and what it's for, and quotes the location setting the way your phone actually names it.

### 1.3 — 2026-08-01

New: an animated welcome demo when you first open Keets.
Fixed: a clearer way to enable "Always Allow" location if it doesn't stick the first time.
Polish: onboarding tooltips now line up correctly on every device.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-14

Your progress now travels with you.

• Cross-device sync — sign in with Apple or Google and your explored map and quests save to your account. Switch phones, reinstall, keep your city.
• Quest suggestions — Keets spots the area you're in and offers a quest for it. Tap the shimmering name at the top to start exploring.
• "While you were away" — reopen the app after a walk and watch the ground you covered light up, with your percentage ticking up.
• A quick first-run tour to get you exploring faster.
• Smoother map, a fix for the rare black screen after long breaks, and lots of small refinements.

Get out there and clear the fog.

### 1.0 — 2026-05-31
