## What is Life in Mist?

Your map should remember more than your destination.

Life in Mist turns the routes you record into a personal map that gradually clears as you explore. Start a walk, ride, drive, or hike, then watch your movement become a visual record of places you have reached.

Review a day's routes to revisit distance, duration, speed, and, when available, elevation. Select a recorded trip to replay it on the map, inspect its details, and remember the path, not just the destination. The fog-clearing view makes familiar streets, weekends away, and bigger journeys easier to see as part of one evolving map.

Import compatible GPX or CSV route files, and use Premium to export active tracks when you want a portable copy. Life in Mist is made for travelers, walkers, riders, and curious locals who want a more meaningful way to look back at where they have been.

## Key features

- Explore a mist-covered map
- Leave location-based messages
- Discover messages from others

app很好用，走的地方多了看了很有成就感，而且有什么建议反馈也很快，更新及时

**Developer response:** 感谢您的支持！

### 5/5 — 是否可以增加省电模式，夜间模式等

*2026-04-22*

在一些常用的路径中，咯是否可以暂停跟踪路径，夜间一般睡觉，也可以暂停定位跟踪

**Developer response:** 您好,在最新的版本中如果开启省电模式并且在一个地方长时间停留不动会自动暂停定位. 更新到最新版本即可体验.

### 5/5 — 意外发现的宝藏app

*2026-03-17*

最好用的旅行足迹App没有之一。城市打卡、骑行路线、自驾轨迹全都能记录，3D轨迹回放功能是我见过同类应用里最酷的！

**Developer response:** 感谢您的支持.

### 5/5 — 几点建议

*2026-03-06*

1，每日结算形成（现在全在一起看起来很乱，没有成就感）
2，目前费电，建议出一个添加常驻地址，停止定位功能减少耗电。
3，出现锯齿没办法修改，希望添加编辑功能（非常实用）

**Developer response:** 感谢您的反馈,下一步正在准备优化统计数据中,预计下个版本中会得到优化提升.

### 5/5 — Cool concept

*2026-02-25*

Great concept to automatically track your travels and visualise them on a map. Especially useful when you go on holiday somewhere new to see how much of the city/country you have visited you ACTUALLY got to see.

**Developer response:** So happy to hear our app has made your travels better! Thank you for your wonderful feedback.

### 5/5 — 登录上了

*2026-01-22*

经过开发者指导，已经登录上了。把 app 后台关闭后，还是不能自动记录。

**Developer response:** 如果方便的话发一下邮件到我的邮箱7666535@gmail.com,加一下联系方式帮您解决问题.

### 5/5 — 很新颖的软件

*2026-01-21*
