## What is Pinned?

Your travel map, already filled in. Pinned reads the locations off your camera roll and offers you every city you have been to, on the device, in seconds. No account, no ads, nothing leaving your phone.

A travel tracker and bucket list for the places you have been and the ones you are still going to. Tap the ones you want. That is the whole setup.

ONE TAP TO LOG A PLACE
Search a city or a landmark, then mark it Been, Want or Favourite. That is the entire action. There are no forms, no setup steps, and no sign-in screen in front of it.

YOUR PHOTOS ALREADY KNOW
Pinned reads the coordinates stored in your camera roll and suggests the cities you have visited. Hundreds of places in a few minutes. The coordinate is read on the device and the photo is never copied, uploaded or kept.

LISTS AND WISHLISTS
Build a list for a city, a trip or a category, reorder it by hand, and send it to anyone through the standard share sheet. No account and no invite.

APPLE MAPS UNDERNEATH
Directions, transit and Look Around are the ones already on your phone.

PRIVACY BY ARCHITECTURE
This is not a policy that can be revised later. There is nowhere for the data to go.

- No account, ever
- No backend, so no breach and no server outage that takes your history with it
- Zero identifiers collected and no third-party tracking SDK in the app
- Optional backup to your own private iCloud, off until you turn it on

ONE PRICE, EVERYTHING IN IT
Free for 14 days, then one simple plan - yearly, or once-and-yours. Cities, landmarks, lists, wishlists, import and backup are all included. Nothing is capped, tiered or sold as a separate unlock. If you stop paying, your places stay on your phone and you can export every one of them.

Scroll down to App Privacy. It says Data Not Collected. That is not a promise, it is the architecture. There is no server for the data to reach.
Native iOS, no cross-platform framework, no ads, no trackers.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.21.0 — 2026-10-07

Pinned, rebuilt around your map.

- A new profile: a living world map of the countries you've been to, with your counts, top countries and latest places underneath.
- More map when you want it: drag the card down and it steps aside, first to a find bar, then to a small handle, and the controls fold away with it.
- Zoom all the way out and your map becomes a globe. Pinch in to land anywhere.
- A simpler place card: tap the name or photo to open a place, and the X to close it.
- Tighter lists show more places, and every Been, Want and Favourite button is easier to hit.
- On Nearby, cities you've been to step aside when you zoom in. Turn them back on in Filters.
- Undo when you delete a list, or move, copy or remove places.

### 1.20.0 — 2026-09-11

Ask Pinned - search your own places in your own words. Tap the sparkle beside the search field and ask for what you remember rather than what a place is called: "the hotel with the great breakfast", "burgers in france". Pinned answers with a place from your own notes, ratings, lists and marks, and quotes the words that matched. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence the on-device model reads your notes and ranks the answer; on every other iPhone the same search runs instantly on keywords. Nothing leaves your phone.

Also in this release:
• A smoother globe. Throw the planet and it coasts; leave it and it turns by itself. Zooming down to the map is one continuous descent instead of a jump.
• Removing a place from a list keeps the place - its note, rating and marks stay where they were.
• Search is easier to read: the map softens behind the results instead of showing through them.
• After an update, a short What's New tour walks through the release. Replay it anytime from Profile, or turn it off in Settings.

### 1.19.0 — 2026-09-04

Pinned now shows you what's new. After an update, a short tour walks through the release — swipe the cards like a story, replay it anytime from Profile, or turn it off in Settings.

Also in this release:
• "Photos I took here" looks further around a place and pulls in more shots, so photos taken nearby actually show up.
• The locate arrow settles bottom-right on launch instead of drifting to mid-screen.
• Polish throughout the update tour and profile.

### 1.18.0 — 2026-09-03

Open Pinned and you land on your own planet - a globe with the countries you've been to shaded and flagged, slowly turning until you touch it. Drag to spin, pinch in and it becomes the map, or tap a country's flag to fly straight there.

Trips: paste a multi-stop Google Maps directions link and it becomes a ranked list, every stop in driving order - and any ranked list can go back out as directions. Imports now recognize places you already saved, so nothing lands twice.

Plus: "Photos I took here" sees your whole photo library, the globe greets you only after time away, and a handful of fixes for smoothness.

### 1.16.0 — 2026-08-28

Watch a place, and Pinned tells you when you're near it. Turn on "Watch these places" when you edit a list, or tap Watch on a single place - walk near one and a notification says so. Tap it to see the place on the map. Everything stays on your phone.

The map got calmer and quicker:
- A selected place sits centred in the map you can see, and tapping place after place keeps your zoom.
- With a list open, the map is that list's - its places, nothing else crowding them, at every zoom.
- Places keep their photographs at every zoom level.
- Rename a place and your name for it shows everywhere at once; Reset brings the original back.

Plus a number of fixes for smoothness and stability.
