## What is Park Visit Log?

Park Visit Log is your personal companion for exploring all 63 United States national parks. Log every park you visit, track your progress toward visiting them all, and earn milestone badges along the way.

TRACK YOUR VISITS
Browse all 63 national parks in a searchable, filterable grid. Log visits with custom dates, notes, and photos from your library. Each visit supports flexible date precision — exact date, month and year, year only, or approximate — so you can record trips from memory.

PARK OF THE DAY
Every day, a featured park appears at the top of your grid — a new spark of inspiration for your next trip.

CHECK IN WITH GPS
Open the map, tap Check In, and the app uses your GPS coordinates to detect which park you are standing in. Boundary detection uses official NPS polygon data, so you have to actually be there. A celebration animation marks each successful check-in.

VIEW LIVE PARK DATA
See real-time alerts, photo galleries, operating hours, and entrance fees for every park, sourced directly from the National Park Service. Active alerts are color-coded by severity so you always know current conditions.

EARN MILESTONE BADGES
Six achievement badges reward your progress: First Summit (1 park), Explorer (5), Adventurer (10), Trailblazer (25), Ranger (50), and Legend (all 63). Each badge records the exact date you earned it. Share your journey with high-resolution cards — your visited parks plotted on a US map, a dated badge card, or a format sized for Stories.

PLAN TRIPS
Group visits into named trips with start and end dates. See which parks and states each trip covered, and relive your road trip memories.

BUILD YOUR WISHLIST
Tap the heart on any park to add it to your Wishlist. Filter the parks grid to show only wishlisted parks when planning your next adventure.

VISIT HEATMAP
A year-at-a-glance calendar of your park activity, GitHub-style. Tap any day to see which park you visited, and watch planned trips appear as outlined days.

SIRI, SHORTCUTS & SPOTLIGHT
Ask Siri how many parks you've visited or for a random park suggestion. Search any park's name from your home screen and jump straight to its page.

YEAR IN REVIEW
See your stats for any year — parks visited, total visits, states covered, and the first park you explored that year.

TIMELINE
After visiting 10 parks, unlock a chronological timeline of every visit grouped by year.

HOME SCREEN & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS
Add a Parks Progress widget to your Home Screen in small, medium, or large sizes — or put your progress right on your Lock Screen with circular, rectangular, and inline widgets. Tap any of them to jump straight to your progress.

EXPORT AND IMPORT
Back up your visit history and trips as a JSON file. Restore from backup on a new device — duplicates are skipped automatically and achievement badges recalculate to reflect your full history.

BUILT FOR PRIVACY
Park Visit Log works entirely on your device. There is no account to create, no data collection, no analytics, and no advertising. Your visit history never leaves your phone unless you choose to export it. 

Park Visit Log is free to use with no subscriptions or in-app purchases.
